So, hope you're all enjoying the new system. Like I said there will be 3 spectral items, one each week-end chosen randomly. Next week will see either the sword or armor item, whichever Dk16 finishes drawing first. More information on those will be released later.

Also I forgot to mention each of the 3 items have their own banner. To get it you have to defeat someone carrying the item and steal it, doesn't count if you get it randomly from the abyss. Oh and a few notes about the spectral items.

 o The neutral square will not protect you if you have the spectral item.
 o Getting injured in a job will send it to the abyss.
 o Getting injured to an NPC will send it to the abyss.
 o As you receive the spectral item you're healed to full.
 o As you receive the spectral item all fatigue is removed.
 o Disfavored spectral item carriers turn in to crazy purple frogs.

So yeah, it's Friday today not Thursday. Kind of got confused about what day it was. The spectral item system will go live tonight at midnight with the 'Forgotten Amulet' coming in to the game.

Details on the item can be found below. There will also be an armor item and a weapon added for random selection on other week-ends. The system is brand new so I'll be watching it closely, some stuff may go wrong.

Main priority for me right now is the outer portal design, along with random stuff from my to do list from time to time. After that the inner site rebuild will begin, along with gang icon redesign and the new staff system.

The new portal is going to have scrolling quotes just like the current one does, so it's time we updated them. Please do not post them as comments here, if you head over to the Main Forum you'll find a thread just for that!

The gang icon competition is now closed, the results can be found below. These are not the icons I will be changing the gangs to, I'll just be drawing inspiration from some of the designs as I come up with the potential new icons.

The 4 winners get +4 staff favor, +2 weeks free subs, +100 gang points for their gang and a graphics banner. The 2 honorable mentions get everything -50 points and the subs! Those who designed multiple emblems could not win twice.



Four Winners
Zymis (TC Emblem)
Citizen (DF Emblem)
Aldo (BoD Emblem)
Monkeyking (OC Emblem)

Honorable Mentions
Evilus (DF and OC Concept Art)
DesertLady : (Selection of Sketches)

All submitted graphics can be found in the thread in the main forum.
