Thank you to the fast response of some gangs, it's nice to see people get involved with this event. May I remind all that this whole event is so you can help myself and Zorg tweak different parts of the game, we can get as much feedback and decide on the right edits. Anything raised isn't ignored or thrown away - if it can't be done then it can't but we always see if we can at least add minor bits to help. All gangs will get a chance to speak I know last time OC got cut off a lot so I will let them voice opinions first.

A reminder that around 5pm the chat will be set to Moderated meaning that nobody apart from Staff, mods and the people named above will be able to speak. If you wish to add a comment simply tell a rep from your gang. Mods have been instructed to ignore all messages and pop ups.

Also on this event I have invited a staff from each department to help provide feedback to some issues, granted it will be mostly myself and Zorg talking... but if an issue pops up with accounts then I see no reason why an Accounts admin cant poke some information in or at least throw an idea into the pot. After the event I'll collect all feedback and logs and post them on our Wiki, if we have any time I might try do a Q&A session for players

Halloween items are gone and poppies are now online, if you don't know why then check on Google. Next on my list of things to do before the attack system rebuild is the terms of service rewrite, some rules need to be put in place to cover the chaos which is currently the flame forum for a start. Other rules will be clarified, removed and rewritten.

The upcoming LegCon will have no predefined topic, but I do have a few issues I wish to raise. Some regarding staff, Legacy Affairs and a couple of possibly controversial suggestions. The main one being the possibility of opening all the special outfit items we have for christmas / halloween / etc, up for individual purchase. I know quite a few people want some of the items permanently, not sure how players or the graphics staff who put all the work in to making the events special would react to the idea.

Also more information on my upcoming plans and projects, everything will be logged if you can't make it so check that after!

All these error messages suck, I'm going to tone back the CSRF protection a bit to fix them. Right now the key changes constantly as you cycle through pages, this seems a little overkill for the problem. As long as you don't go entering the "key=value" from your URL in to any other sites it should be pretty secure with a more static key. I think I'll try just changing it on logins for now, then see if I can write an exploit that will get around it.

I'll be waiting a few days before releasing the source code for the exploit, sorry for the inconvenience of all these error messages. They will be fixed shortly.

If you're wondering where I've been recently in terms of updates, that will all become apparent tomorrow as my 100+ script update syncs over from the development server. Sadly none of these updates are interesting, just a mass security update for CSRF exploits. In the end the original idea of monitoring what scripts people came from fell through as it could be bypassed with the clever use of frames and javascript.

Instead this update will use unique tokens generated on scripts that are about to do something, then passed to the scripts that actually perform the action and checked. This change will mean that you cannot use the back button and then perform most actions. I'll be monitoring how much of an impact this has on players and how often this error occurs over the coming days.

This security fix has required me to manually edit pretty much every script in the game that performs any action. It was very boring, involved thousands of lines of copying and pasting but now it is done. As a result image tags will be re-enabled on forums after this update goes live, I'll also be posting proof of concept code of this exploit to anyone interested or worried that it may effect other sites.
