Firstly let me wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day on behalf of the whole Staff team! I hope you've had a chance to enter our official St. Patrick's Day Contest in the Main Forum. The entries I've read so far are great. If you haven't noticed, there are some special St.Patrick's Day themed outfits available to use at the moment. They will be around for around another week so check them out if you have not already done so! You will find them as Level One designs and can view them all via our wiki page here.

Anyway just thought I'd give you a quick GFX update. Some gang Rank 6 male designs have been re-released and new female Rank 6 designs are soon to be finished. I am currently working on gang Rank 10 Accessories for both genders for each gang and so you will see them added fairly soon also.

Incase any of our female players have not noticed, I turned some of the male Facial Wear and Gloves into female editions. I hope to be adding some more female outfits throughout the next few months.

LegCon will be in Online Chat this Sunday at 5pm Server Time (10pm GMT) and the current agenda is Market Storage vs Subtime Trade-In! The reps for each gang, rogues and the elders have not been mailed to me yet, even though it was meant to be done by the 15th . I would like a list of reps mailed to me, by the gang leaders, along with 2 other topics you feel need discussing by the end of tomorrow. If not then you'll risk your gang not being given a chance to bring up queries during the event.

Due to the recent promotions of myself and DM there is a few tweaks with the staff and game, DMaster will be doing some of the work I use to do as Dev Manager - like Events, Dev Server upkeep, Development Department etc.. I will still be doing stuff like bug testing, system upkeep, Part hosting LegCons and more general Staff stuff and Legacy Affairs.

More news will be posted later today or tomorrow as well as the date and threads for the next LegCon. Congratulations to DMaster on his promotion

So nearly February and still a few bits to do. I'm going to post a list of stuff that's already been looked at - anymore suggestions feel free to post them in the blog comments; just not crazy ideas that take a lot of time to prep as we have enough of those. For 2011 I have:

- Murder Mystery (one or two not 100% sure yet),
- Valentines Event,
- LegCon (March and one later in the year),
- Easter,
- WTF Mode
- Halloween,
- Christmas,
- New Year.

Of course in there will be a few Awesome Hours that I will leave to DMaster or dk16, random Contests and games etc... almost forgot to add there won't be a Werewolf game for a while maybe until March/April. Last one kind of ... droned on and on and I figure people are sick of seeing it right now.

Oh and before I forget ... again Moderator applications for Online Chat are open; if you want more info it's in the Main Forum. Staff apps are closing in the next 2/3 days so if you want to apply but haven't... get a move on!

Finally we're always looking to add more events I know Zorg asked me to look at a few to add so I'll see what the blog comments turn out like and go from there.

Just a quick blog to mention that we're opening Staff applications for general positions, rather than what was posted in Zorg's blog a while back. My thread in the Main Forum contains the details of how to apply, so go check it out if you wish to join the team.

Applications will be open until 23:59 on the 31st January, so you have until the end of this month to think of something that will amaze us, if you so wish to wait that long.

Remember to add your account name to the subject of the email, as I'm not psychic and can't tell who you are if you don't tell me. Needless to say, your application will be ignored if you forget to do this.

Anyway, that's everything. Hope you have a nice week.
