It's uber late so I'm going to make this very breif.
#1 - Server was down for a few days because of a recent power outage. The outage was something like 2 seconds long, however it was enough to shut down the DX Gaming servers. Fortunately the web server auto restarts and I assumed the same for the game server. Unfortunately it's a bit retarded and I had to push the power button manually. I should have caught it earlier, but last week was my crazy week helping nearly every family member move...or so it seems.
#2 - I've been talking to Jorus...Yes Literally on the phone...and he has some suprises for Necromancy. He said he is aiming for a release on the 15th but depending on the complexitity it might take a few more days. Either way it's shaping up to be pretty cool.
#3 - Blinkers is helping me implement the newest upgrade to housing, specifically the menus which allow you up to 10 friends/co-owners. It's pretty awesome, however it's so complex even I have a hard time following the code. We're hoping to get it live by this upcoming weekend. I also hear Blinkers is working on updating all the awesome areans in Obsidian
#4 - Cybervic has been focusing on player support when he has time and it seems problems are being fixed quickly by him and the other GMs. We request that you keep your pages as detailed as possible and ONLY PAGE once. We answer pages in the order their received and repaging just brings you back to the bottom of the queue. Additionally Cybervic and I are hoping to find some time in the next week or so to meet face to face to hash out the things we need to implement. Should be pretty cool.
#5 - As I mentioned last week I was AFK, but things look to be good and I should be around reliably until early Novemeber when I'll take another week off for my Birthday and Halo 2
I'm talking with GM Hydro who runs out IRC chat room to help setup bi-weekly Developer Chats. Pretty much what I'd like to do is get as much of the Development Staff (BB, Blinkers, Jorus, Cybervic) online and in a moderated chat room to answer any questions, suggestions, etc. I don't know how viable this will be since everyone is on such different hours, but we'll see.
Well that's everything I can come up with off the top of my head, but given that it's 4am I'm sure I'm forgetting some things. Hope everyone has a great day!
