That's the Advent Calendar up and also the Platinum Christmas Sale! Special thanks to Steven for making the items for both, the Christmas Crackers you get with certain amounts of platinum contain a Gingerbread Man, a Candy Cane and some Coal. The Gingerbread Man grants 2500 energy, the Candy Cane heals for 250 health and the Coal does... something when in your inventory.

All items from Christmas Crackers, including the crackers themselves can be traded. Merry Christmas!

That's the +25% bonus Platinum sale live for Halloween to match Fallen Swords. It'll stay up until the end of Monday (November 2nd) and also gives you some Voodoo Dolls as it has done in the past. Let me know if you encounter any problems with them.

I've released the first part of my chat update and it's nowhere near finished yet. I just wanted to start testing it and reassure people that I have been working on stuff.

It still needs emoticons, swear filter, user list, display of flood restrictions, commands, chat moderators and a whole lot more (suggest any features I haven't mentioned).

A few things I did get in to this first version are the alerts on the tabs when new messages arrive, and you can press the up / down arrows to cycle through your history (something that I've missed in all my previous chat clients). More features will be added to it soon!

Slightly late warfare this morning as I overslept, but it's all up now. Today I'm going to be reworking the code behind Side Chat. It's older than dirt and still uses Javascript AJAX methods instead of jQuery, I'm hoping that updating it all will also fix the issue where a tab running Legacy in Google Chrome slowly uses up all available CPU on a system. It should also open the way to allowing players to adjust the font size / scroll back through chat history / etc.

Good luck in Warfare, results will be posted later!
