Wow, sometimes I forget some of you guys aren't avatars and some of you avatars don't play on the Dev Server. So I should bring you guys up to date on all the changes that have been going on there. Below are the highlights from the 1.7.00 patch notes. Lots and lots of changes recently.

o Added new universal customizable template.
Already said a lot about this new template in past blogs.

o Added active combat log to top of template.
Real time display of stuff happening to you, you pick and choose what stuff it displays and the colors it uses. You can choose from the following attacks, win/loss, credit transfers, item transfers, market sales, subtime transfers, ability training, favor/disfavor messages, gang favors / disfavors, gang alerts, public gang log entries, clan rank changes, clan logs, achievements, mail, work progress, friends logging in, blog posts and edit / deletion / replies to your forum posts.

o Added real time javascript pop up chat history.
View chat history now loads in an overlay (like a session message) and updates in real time just like the little side chat does.

o Added new option to adjust height of warfare chat in settings.
Display anything from the last 3 lines of warfare chat to the last 20 if your monitor is big enough. If not you can just scroll back up to stuff you missed.

o Increased the max character count in warfare chat from 50 to 150.
No more running out of space to type in warfare.

o Incorporated history in to warfares main chat window.
As mentioned above no more clicking to view history, you just scroll back up to see it like online chat.

o Incorporated warfare chat in to the side chat flood control.
Talking in warfare now increases the anti-flood thing on side chat, so you can talk more and see when you're gonna get anti-flood warnings.

o Enabled all pages on top menu while in warfare.
You can now access the following pages without returning to the hive. Creators Blog, Player News, Messages, Gang Control, Clan Hideouts, Forums, Online Now, Ticket Help, Top List Voting, Refer Setup, Battle Clinic, Friends List, Subscription, Achievements, Notepad and Voting.
