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.

Spectral Item
	Name	Forgotten Amulet ( ID : #2616570 )
	Type	Misc Item

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.

Legacy and Legacy Dev will both be going down today at 6am (Server Time/EST) 11am (GMT) for maintenance. I'll be updating various core processes that run on the webserver, cleaning up various tables and logs that have grown quite large in size and reworking the nightly backup process.

The will likely last between 3 and 4 hours but could end up running slightly longer. Get in Online Chat ahead of time if you don't want to be a Guest later. The server will stop responding for some time during this downtime.
