Legacy will never reach version 2.0, sadly. As much as all these changes were intended to be just that, I'm scrapping the version number system. In no way does the current system reflect how I actually work, it is often confusing with some changes being missed from it completley and others being added to it days after changes are actually made.

Now every single change will have its own little ID, you'll be able to see a brief summary of all the changes and exactly when they happened. It will have a detailed explanation, a list of exactly which scripts were changed and any ticket number that it addresses.

This will make all the work I do more public and nothing will ever change on Legacy without a explanation as to why. This new system will be going live today, following which I'll be working through all my tickets.

Slight delay on posting screenshots as I came down with food poisoning shortly after posting my last blog and slept for like 16 hours yesterday. Below are a couple of screenshots of the system that will be used to find other players to duel. I think it's pretty easy to understand, as stated before in the new system this will not be the primary way of gaining experience.



The duel system itself is still being built however I can show you a page I'm currently using to test the client side javascript that will be used to display real time stuff. This may be a little confusing out of context.

There will be one of those for yourself and one for your oppoent as well as other things including a combat log and chat below.

Gift boxes are done now, we ran out of Cake so I just threw some old crap in there that we didn't want anymore. Oh and the hat is different...

Progress screenshots of the duel system will be posted tomorrow.

For those of you who saw a ghost wandering around the wasteland earlier saying creepy stuff, this was a preliminary test for the upcoming patrolling guards feature that will be part of the new combat system. Expect to see more random wandering things as work on that system continues. The aim is to make guards basically like NPC players with their own AI.

Duel system testing will begin soon on Dev, once it begins warfare and hunting will be disabled. For the first stage all players will be made level 80 and we will be testing the basic (pre-skill training) abilities of each of the 4 classes. Levels will be backed up before this change so hold on to your items as you'll be going back down to your old level once testing is complete.

This -should- happen in the next week but as I've run in to 4-5 unforseen problems already it is very possible it could be delayed slightly.
