Just a message to gang leaders, if you plan to update your Gang Libraries please remember that if you're writing or editing a book please make sure if you type them up in Open office/MS Word that you change the grammar before you add the book, this will confuse you so I have an example for you below:

Browser: "
MS Word: “

Here is an example of above posted in a book and saved:




So please remember, do not rely on MS Word to fix your grammar mistakes as it does more damage than good and will end up wasting your time, you may as well add your grammar before you "save" the book, also please make sure images in books do not break 400 pixels in width! I will be going through all gang books tonight and fixing odd mistakes, I will threads in your council forums later.

The new legendary Vivi bundle now has a special set bonus, equipping all 5 of the Vivi items will result in your characters body and eyes changing to match the character. If you do not wish to use this look you will need to remove part of it like the gloves or boots.

This is a trial of the concept but it seems to work well, future legendary bundles may come with bonus effects that only appear when the entire bundle is worn at once. Enjoy!

Making games is tricky, lots of choices, so many opinions... some louder than others. I've had quite a few requests for new boosts, like decrease time re-entering the wasteland boosts and such. There is a line a lot of games try not to cross and it seems we already crossed it anyway when we added + ability boosts.

The question is where do we draw the new line, do we say Abilities and Trades are ok but we're not letting you buy any advantage elsewhere? Or do we say warfare / abilities are ok but you can't buy any advantages in jobs or XP? Obviously some games do not care about this line and they generally end in disaster, selling XP boosts, in-game items, everything basically makes anyone who is not rich not want to play.

It's an important question and I think it needs to be decided right now before anything else is added to the platinum store. What is off limits when it comes to buying with platinum? XP, Jobs, Warfare, Stats, Items?

I'm posting this as a blog because then you get only 1 comment each, think it through before posting please.

So yeah, been away all week-end so forgot about this. The scores for the last 3 month period are below. Surprisingly close given what I saw towards the end. Don't forget to read the other blog below this one, it's important!
