So, I guess you're wondering what I'm working on right now. Apart from some template stuff for Fallen Sword, my main project right now is the AJAX based combat system. As I know this is what most of the old players want, incorporated in to this we're also running the current combat system through lots of testing.
My aim with our combat equations is to remove as much randomness as possible, without upsetting the game balance or levelling speed as I'm happy with those. Right now we're thinking of scrapping our current equations for new ones that would see your stats have a significantly bigger impact on fight outcomes than they do now.
We may also make you hit a lot more frequently, but increase the energy cost for each attack... so players don't level a lot faster from the shorter fights.
The hunting NPC stats and items are also under review, there is a post up in the Elders forum demonstrating my new hunting NPC generating functions. The aim being to make initial NPCs a lot easier, then gradually make them harder, with the 40 - 80 hunting groups being as challenging as possible... which currently they are not.

Work is now under way on the new Legacy wallpaper that will be the default for new players. We plan on including Tyran, Seraph and our new level 90 hunting boss that has yet to be released. Needless to say drawing them as high resolution characters presents and interesting challenge.
OldLace is collecting feedback on the main forum, feel free to post comments here though. Below is the work in progress drawing our level 90 guy, click for a full resolution version.

I'll be rolling out some updates from the Dev server later today, they may seem a little random at the moment but they all serve a purpose. Right now I'm just trying to get my development server back in sync with the main game so I can continue to do small bug fixes and such.
The changes that will be implemented are listed below...

Sector bar has been renamed to navigation under template control.
Navigation can now be made part of the drop down menus or positioned next to the combat log, along with all previous options.

Drop down menus are now slightly transparent and have animations.
Drop down menu animation and speed can be adjusted under game options.

Apparently some of you guys managed to kill one of my beloved Halloween NPCs, congratulations! Scott will be collecting the names of all involved so rewards can be decided upon. This week I'll be burning through some tickets and working on some staff changes while I await some final artwork for Legacy's new look sectors and hunting.
I finished the framework for tutorials last week and all the artwork is done for that, I just can't bring them across from Dev until other changes are complete as it is all a bit out of sync right now. The plan is to replace the sectors links with a more intuitive hive link and lots of pretty graphics, most old players use quick links for everything anyway so it shouldn't change much for you.
