To give you an update on what I've been doing, in March I completely scrapped our Guide system - it wasn't working and new players where waiting days to get anything from a guide. This system was originally set up in 2007/08 and hasn't been changed, I figured I could do better and each guide now has access to live signups and minor access to our staff channel and a better budget to better deal with newbies with a live database that is changed and updated by guides, with a newbie having an entry on it when they sign up.

After 2 months I'm proud to say its a success, we seem to be holding new players around for longer and we've sent out over 3k of meds to new players to help them level. I suggest that gangs revamp their newbie systems and stop relying on lists to be posted or newbies assigned to a personal rank 11.

Another thing upcoming is 2 forums being coded into Legacy, I can only speak about a public one for now as the other hasn't been 100% finalised but we're going to add a trading forum to legacy - the one thing we don't have, meaning you can advertise your market - Hold offers or sell in bulk to the game community.

Last thing is the new filter, we have a long list of words to go through and I will sometime next week and clear things up, my best advice is to just not avoid the filter or test it...

With a Bank Holiday for us in the UK Tomorrow I suspect if you're waiting for anything from HCS it wont be until Tuesday, tickets will be unlocked to us on Tuesday so we can't do anything until then!

The new filter is now on RegLeg, it is much more strict and the Elders have all had an input on words to be added and removed. Please be aware that mistakes to avoid the filter/spaces in the wrong place or any other way to avoid it will be treated as a communication violation.

The filter list will now be a living document and will be updated where possible. We have removed many words to give you more freedom of expression however do not use and abuse it, language directed at other players or staff that is seen to be homophobic, racist, suppresive or insults a person because of their color/nationality etc... will not be tolerated.

Today a decision has been made on the future of Chat Channels. We have removed Online Chat and banners for now until a later date as to what we're going to do in the future. We may be bringing an IRC chat into use we haven't quite fully thought of the next steps.

This obviously means Chat Moderators are now suspended and we will work to integrate them into other areas.

Hello Legacy! This blog is to address the rising amount of bets happening in "fight club" type agreements. Staff are not for or against these ad we will not stop them. If you partake in these and place bets then you do so with the understanding that staff will not chase your winnings and will not put effort into make the wrongdoings right.

We will however take it as a report and punish any defaulter for scamming, defaulting on a payment after a bet is just the same as conducting trades through the bank. If you lose in a bet and find an excuse to not pay what you initially agreed on the chances of you being banned are 1/1, that's something I would bet on.
