It's been a long six months as far as Legacy goes, quite possibly the longest of my life. I've been back and forth over so many ideas from new games, rebuilds to packing in the lot and doing something else with my life (I got half way through writing that blog).

My efforts on Legacy have failed. Four years of work has yielded little growth, so was there any point? I never had dreams of being rich or explosive success, but I'd like my work to have counted for something more.

I think rebuilding core systems is the right idea, but was taken to a crazy extreme. In absence of wanting to start a new project from scratch my ideas changed to trying to turn Legacy in to something it never was.

So forget my previous blogs and forget my plans. I'm still going to rebuild Legacy but I'm going to rebuild it the way it always should have been.

Today we had some minor downtime caused by some happy web server updates that upgraded things to a non-working status. Also, in 2 weeks and 3 days the wasteland will reset! I'm not sure if we're having a WTF yet, but keep your hopes up I'm sure Zorg will find some way to entertain us whilst the new map is coded

Onto more exciting news I have new banners for you! They will be awarded only when you win a competition.

New Banners!
	Winner of an official Legacy competition.
	Winner of 2 official Legacy competitions.
	Winner of 3 official Legacy competitions.

So you'd better start by entering our Photo Comp in the Main Forum that is running until July 1st. That's all I have to update you on so far so good luck to all that enter.

Lots of little green plants are now occupying Legacy as account shrubbing has come in to practice. Basically instead of banning accounts pending deletion accounts can now be shrubbed, which will allow them to login, make a ticket, send messages to staff, but nothing else for 30 days after which they'll be deleted. We cleared out all the old jailed players so that list should be short and useful again now.

Although I'm pressing on with the new combat system, it looks like it may be further away than I'm willing to wait so advertisements have started again in full force on our top 100 sites, facebook and other places.

I'm also re-evaluating some of the changes listed before in the rebuild to try and limit the impact on current players. Things like assigning stat points as you level are going to be simplified but will remain.

Well... Awesome Hour was a big difference to the events I usually hold. 30 questions in total as the first was void because of my first copy and paste fail. Anyway... dk16 will be hosting the next one as I was pretty much a "stand-in" for this one.

The Results!
1st: Lavender Lightning, 13 Points,
2nd: The Loaners, 10 Points,
3rd: The Chamber of Elders, 9 Points,
Teams that quit: Sexy Mexicans

All Prizes have been handed out and the wiki pages will be updated tomorrow, remember we have a photo contest going on! So go read the stickie in the Main forum
