Been a long time since an update so better get on that. First off, I'm aware the blog on the portal is out of sync. That will be fixed once the new main page is finished and goes live. Until then I'll just manually try to keep it in sync.

All the problems with the tick process are because of a PHP version update during the server move that imposed memory limits on all scripts. This should now be resolved (I hope), although it remains to be seen if the top 10 lists will actually update themselves next Monday.

Basically what I've been doing recently is going through all the scripts in the game, literally all 500+ of them and corrected / fixed a load of stuff. Now I'm nearly finished re-writing the tick process on the Dev server.

Few more things to do but that should get the game ready for PHP 5.3 and eventually 6.0 when it is released. Sadly none of these changes have any real visible effect for players, but I assure you it is stuff that has to be done.

I have some huge ideas for the fight / warfare rebuild which will likely change the game forever. But that is quite a way off so I don't want to go in to details just yet.

The GCode parser has been rebuilt, took me like 6 hours but it seems to work now. Email parsing and lists have been removed from GCode, however if you check the GCode summary page you'll see lots of new stuff is enabled in various places. You can basically use all GCode everywhere now

The only limitation is that you can only use [colortext], [darktext] and gang colors in market stands, forum sigs and books. You can now use alignment anywhere, including forum posts and on images. I'll be working on this a little more after the week-end so submit any problems you find with it. For now it will suffice anyway as I have a busy week-end ahead of me in real life.

The game is now running off our new web-server, quite a few complications during the move most of wich I overcame. The only issue I now have is with the PEAR BBCodeParser module that is very out-dated. All GCode parsing across the game has had to be disabled until I can write my own custom parser, which will take me a day or two.

This had to be done to get the game back online, no point keeping it down for something so small. Please don't ticket any problems with GCode in forum posts, messages, sigs, etc.

If you find any other problems though please let us know!

We're looking for 2 new voting sites to replace GTOP100 and XtremeTop100. Post any suggestions you have in the comments, the site must allow direct link voting from this site to theirs in order to gain rank. I'll leave the old 2 up for now so people can still use them.
