Legacy stuff first, my work on a side project is now finished. Hopefully a large part of next week will be spent purely working on Legacy things so expect updates to start rolling once again. Expect Dev to re-open at some point also.

A couple of other things, firstly one of the girls who works as an Artist at Hunted Cow Studios runs this cool little blog (link below). She is running low on submissions to draw from, so if you have 5 minutes to spare go send her a small doodle from MS Paint and watch her turn it in to awesome artwork.

Secondly, I'm still participating in Movember much to my own annoyance as I hate moustaches. If you don't know what it is more info can be found on my page below. If you want to make a donation (all for charity) to me, include your account name when doing so and I'll send you a cool little limited edition moustache facial wear item.

Have fun, many bug fixes coming shortly!

Good news, I've got a big update coming. Bad news, the only thing you'll notice is the things it breaks. Basically changing the way the dev and main work to support multiple developers and running Legacy locally. Will make future updates faster and much more stable but for now, please report anything that breaks in the next few hours by messaging me directly!

Work on the development server is going well, staff will be retaining their accounts any players wishing to come test will be starting from level 1. However, all the increased speed and free gift stuff will be in there. Avatars only as before.

Not sure when it will go live yet, still got to get the front end for the new combat system done, there are some other things to test as well.

Platinum sale is now live until 12:00 on Monday the 18th and if you purchase 30,000 platinum or more you'll get a free one time pink cow outfit item!

Just a quick progress report, the new AJAX based combat is coming along nicely with 1200 lines of code and counting. It is by far the most complex script I've had to write as it handles PvP in the wasteland and hive, hunting groups, hunting special NPCs, fighting guards and fighting roaming NPCs. All in one really big script.

Not sure when it's going to be done yet, the back-end is about 80% complete with work on the front end not started yet. Once it's done the Development server will be wiped clean and be coming back online for Avatars to test.

It also incorporates the new method for distributing items and stats to NPCs and the new combat equations that at present increase a players chance to hit from as low as 20% in the current system to an average of about 80% between 2 equally matched opponents. You wanted less randomness in combat, you're about to get it, only testing will decide how well it works.
