The 'Item Experience' update is now live on the Development server as per the road map. It is slated to go live tomorrow if everything is working. Items start at level 1 with 0 experience as shown in the bar at the bottom of the item. Items gain experience depending on their type.

- Weapons gain 1 point of experience by hitting a player or NPC (that grants experience) for damage.

- Armor gain 1 point of experience by being hit for damage.

- Misc items gain 1 point of experience for each Warfare Point earned (in combat).

To get to level 2 and item must earn 4500 experience. Then 9000, 18000 and 36000 respectively with experience resetting to 0 each level up. These numbers may all be tweaked before release tomorrow.

Feedback is welcome, let me know what you think but be sure to check the road map in full before replying.

We have now moved Legacy to its new home at DigitalOcean and behind Cloudflare. I've enabled a ton of optimizations through Cloudflares Pro plan that should make the site load a lot quicker for some people.

Let me know if you encounter any bugs or problems as a result of this move.

There will be a bit of down time today with the entire site being unreachable at some points. We're moving our DNS management over to Cloudflare (for security) and will be moving our servers in to DigitalOcean (away from GoGrid).

My time recently has been spent doing this with all our sites as DigitalOcean servers are far superior to our past hosting provider and we've been hit with a few DDoS attacks from angry Fallen Sword players of late.

Server location is moving from Florida to New York but we expect performance for all users to improve dramatically with this change over.

We've dropped the sell price of all Crystals to 50c per item, down from 200c per item. Some players were getting quite significant profits from hunting crystal entities with the increased amount of crystals to drop. We may increase it a bit in the future if that turns out to be too low as we're still testing.
