Warfare results for the last 3 months. The freezing mechanic should be working again now, think something in the PHP update broke how it worked previously. I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it keeps working.

Warfare: July - September 2012
1: Dark Flame - 1,581,350 points
2: Blade of Dawn - 815,300 points
3: Outcasts - 741,640 points
4: Chapter - 398,750 points

Have fun... I hate making tutorials.

The new tutorial is nearly completed. It's been a nightmare to code, but I think it should be pretty solid now. You can check my thread in the forum to see what it contains. There is also another thread in the main forum directed to Council members, who need to go and create new player landing threads in their gang newbie forums.

Warfare reset is this Sunday at midnight (server time), with WTF mode starting a few hours before. The next map will be the snowy winter one with the freezing rivers. Rivers will begin frozen for at least the first 5 hours (it's random but that's the fastest they could unfreeze).

Map: Unfrozen / Frozen

Starting locations will be...

Chapter: 6,14
Dark Flame: 12,14
Blade of Dawn: 10,14
Outcasts: 8,14

Based on the history in our Wiki that should give each gang a starting location they have not had the previous 3 times this map has been played. Guilt is now working on some new hue selections for outfits, contact him if you have requests.

The new Hunted Cow site is online, Legacy is currently there but hidden. Current plan is to finish the new tutorial this week-end, prep a few other bits and add Legacy to the game list on Monday. We'll also then begin sending out emails to the massive Hunted Cow mailing list about our game.

We have a nice new icon for our game ready to go...



I have no idea how much attention it will attract but I'll be posting about it on forums and such so we'll see. The new Hunted Cow portal can be found at:

www.huntedcow.com

We aren't merging game accounts in to Hunted Cow accounts yet, but when we do don't worry you'll retain your name and everything else you have here.

In the interest of keeping people informed as to what is currently going on, here is what is currently going on! I've been working endless hours finishing the new Hunted Cow website and it should launch this week. It will work much like the Battle.net in that you'll have one Hunted Cow account that you can use to login to all our games.

During the merge the outer game will gain a bar at the top and you'll be given the option of turning your account in to a Hunted Cow account. This merge will not be for a few weeks though as Fallen Sword will be merging at the same time. Why is this a good thing? Well...

The issue with announcing Legacy to Hunted Cows community is that it's a 'Hail Mary Pass' and if it fails Legacy will be relegated to the back burner in terms of any work being done on it ever again. It needs to go well, and if we can link accounts across games we can do things like... give players in Fallen Sword rewards for getting a Legacy character to level 10 as well as making their signup infinitely easier. Along with emails and some advertising that should give it a much better chance.

I appreciate the communities patience, this new site is 30,000+ lines of code and was almost completely designed by myself so I've been quite busy and I haven't forgotten about you guys.
