Been a long time since an update so better get on that. First off, I'm aware the blog on the portal is out of sync. That will be fixed once the new main page is finished and goes live. Until then I'll just manually try to keep it in sync.

All the problems with the tick process are because of a PHP version update during the server move that imposed memory limits on all scripts. This should now be resolved (I hope), although it remains to be seen if the top 10 lists will actually update themselves next Monday.

Basically what I've been doing recently is going through all the scripts in the game, literally all 500+ of them and corrected / fixed a load of stuff. Now I'm nearly finished re-writing the tick process on the Dev server.

Few more things to do but that should get the game ready for PHP 5.3 and eventually 6.0 when it is released. Sadly none of these changes have any real visible effect for players, but I assure you it is stuff that has to be done.

I have some huge ideas for the fight / warfare rebuild which will likely change the game forever. But that is quite a way off so I don't want to go in to details just yet.
