After 75 minutes of action in Online Chat, our third and final round of the Smurf Event is at an end! With 45 points being obtained by participants, the leaderboard has changed and we have our top 3 winners.

1st Place: Ross!
2nd Place: Xlr8!
3rd Place: mustangs!

Congratulations guys! Prizes will be issued asap.

Who would have thought, Ross' hidden talent was infact that he is a Smuf-Guru! .. or perhaps he's just good at smurfing the net

Note: Myself and Mohith felt that we should make the point system fairer, and so we changed it so that Rounds 1 and 2 were both worth 30% of the final result, and Round 3 was worth 40%

We hope you enjoyed the Smurf Event and had fun!

So while waiting for Steven to finish the final graphics for the warfare achievements, I decided to try and start work on one of the oldest and most requested features in the game. With the new changes to hospital the need for this has become even more apparent.

The feature in question is stackable items in player inventories. I've also taken the opportunity to rewrite the entire thing in CSS3 and jQuery to make it even nicer to look at and perfectly reliable in all modern browsers. Oh yeah, you also get more inventory slots now!



We have a working prototype for you guys to play around with (link below) and give your opinions on. The way the UI handles stacking is the most intuitive method we could come up with, doing away with any need to right click or hold buttons while clicking things.

Prototype: http://dev.legacy-game.net/sandbox/jquery.htm

Oh yeah, this does not mean you will be able to carry out 1,280 healing items in to the wasteland. The plan is to add a hot bar below the warfare chat box that you will be able to drag quick links to abilities in to and will have set slots for healing items in. The actual amount of healing items you'll be able to take out in one go has yet to be determined.

Just a short announcement, the date and time for the Smurf Event Round 3 has been set. It shall be held at 5pm Server Time (10pm GMT) on Friday 16th September!

I have just finished writing questions and can tell you that there are 45 points up for grabs! Who knows, perhaps someone who's currently on 0 points will overtake the point leaders and be crowned the winner, aka Guru Smurf!

Myself and Mohith both have a list of the questions and so we will both be hosting the quiz. Therefore if any unforeseen circumstance arrives and one of us can't make it, then the show can still go on.

Best of luck to everyone that participates! We shall see you there!
