Yeah, exactly like the way you people misspell colour as color

Duck Pond- the one where you get nothing... ""Awwwww," the attendant sympathises, "Maybe you'll have better luck next time."" sympathises is spelled sympathizes. Oh that's funny. For anyone else considering reporting this kind of stuff, please be aware that I'm an Aussie and I spell things the Aust...

You know that's impossible right? Assuming your kids were born there, you know that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas

All prizes have now been distributed. If you entered, and didn't get at least 50,000 moolah consolation prize, please send me a Pmail.

Time to put this thing to rest. There were a heap of awesome entries here, and choosing a winner was particularly difficult. With few exceptions, the judges voted for a bunch of different stuff, and in the end we had to get a fourth judge to split the difference. In the end, entries were awarded poi...

Even though I'm infullible (ie. the nearest thing to infallible), I do occasionally make mistakes. OK, pretty regularly. Anyway the point is, if you find any typos in any of the content, please post them here so they can be fixed. Please note that spoiler tags may be required for some information. T...

The contest is closed, Elljae and I have picked our favourites, and I'll announce the winners as soon as I can find a third person to judge.

Time to enter is just about up. The contest will close at Intermission today, and we'll be picking winners and awarding prizes tomorrow!

After many months of diligent work, slaving away to help us create a whole bunch of new content (which you haven't actually seen much of yet, but that's beside the point), I'm very pleased to announce that soaK has been offered a position on the official Paradox! Dev Team, and she has accepted. We a...

Wow, some more great entries for sure. I definitely have some favourites, and it looks like picking a winner is going to be a bit on the tricky side. There are still 6 days to go, so keep thinking and make the judges work hard for their... whatever it is they get out of judging. A sense of satisfact...

Very odd. There was a bug and it's been fixed but.. well, I haven't changed that particular file recently so I'm scratching my head a bit. Oh well, it's fixed.

Despite the relatively successful public launch, new player registrations are a little on the slow side, and I'd love to see a lot more players. If nothing else, more players should help us properly test server load, database structure, etc. To this end, the game has had a small modification made wh...

Heh, there's some good entries coming in, nice work! Keep em coming - there's still over a week to go.

Thanks for that Ash. As discussed, I had a good look at the code and tested it out, and haven't been able to replicate it or identify the problem. I suspect a couple of things, however: 1. It's not just the jogging outfit. Chances are good that if there's a bug in the way the "you have found a new o...

It seems that some people (*cough* unknownz *cough*) have been getting a bit too creative, but as stated pretty clearly in the original post, we're just after a short, catchy name for the mall. That's it. Just a name.

Winners Announced The winners in the "Name The Mall" contest are as follows: First Prize - BeastyClaire Second Prize - JazzyCat Third Prize - JazzyCat (again) For full details, scroll down. ----- Well, I created this contests forum so.. let's have a contest. As you know, the mall currently is witho...

This forum exists so that players can post information about contests they may feel like running. A well-run contest can be a lot of fun for everyone involved. A poorly-run contest, on the other hand, can cause anything from minor confusion to panic, outrage and rioting in the streets. Ok, perhaps n...

Yes, but you're not getting one. Pay more attention to your stats. :) Seriously, resting is a lot like real life - you CAN rest any time you like, but if you're not tired, then you won't get any benefit from it. Check your HP/TP before you click the "Rest" link. There actually is a good technical re...

As per my earlier response: "At some stage I'll probably allow for channel/name colours..."

It's not a high priority. Too many other, more important, things to do.

Short answer: Stop being lazy.

Long answer: Yeah ok, I'll put it on your profile page or charpane somewhere. At some stage. Probably.

Indeed, and I've made the change. I haven't added yet another account option though. At this stage, if you have auto-activate enabled, it'll just accept whatever you enter, including updating existing item price/limit. If not, then it will disable existing items if you change the price or limit. If ...

OK, yeah that makes sense, although I can imagine there will be people who would disagree (ie. who will view it as an inconvenience rather than a player-protection measure). Perhaps two options are required: 1. Auto-activate on add new item 2. Deactivate on adding more of the same items with a diffe...

Yep, it's on the list.

There is no way to do that, and there won't be one. Imagine what would happen when we DO have tens/hundreds of users logged on.... *shudder*

In the short term, you can always use the "Logged on users" thing from the charpane and just do a /whois on each.

While there are some ongoing, intermittent lag problems going on, it appears that a number of people have been experiencing some delay between typing and their words appearing in the chat text box. This is not "lag" in the traditional sense. True "lag" is when you press the "Send" button and it take...

So this was a one-time thing then, ie. some kind of unexpected data error, as opposed to any sort of actual bug? If not, please provide steps to replicate the problem so I can have somewhere to start looking.

Um, hold on... Didn't I already do that yesterday?

It doesn't work in IE or Chrome, yet, but I assure you that if you're using Firefox, Opera or Safari, you can right-click (or Ctrl+Left-Click in Opera) any player name for some added functionality

I have my suspicions that the right-click menu I added yesterday isn't particularly efficient and is likely to create memory leakage and slowness, particularly if there's a lot of chat in the window. I don't think that has anything to do with what you saw, Deo, that sounds more like more stupid lag ...

At some stage I'll probably allow for channel/name colours, but in the short term, try out the /mark command.

It's definitely on the to-do list as a relatively high priority.

Paradox chat is now at version 0.6.0 and comes complete with multiple chat channels for your confusio... erm, enjoyment. Public chat channels are: - lobby - games - trade - flamewars Granted, with only a handful of people in chat at the moment, multiple channels aren't entirely critical, but I wante...

Anyone want to see pics of us in Sydney? http://picasaweb.google.com/gobberwart/ ... tember2008

Welcome to the forums Lady Delilah, Stroby, jupider, and of course Al (who's been here forever but only just got around to this thread). Jupider, that's one of the most incredibly awesome introduction posts I've ever seen. I think the single gigantic paragraph actually added to the post's charm. :) ...

I'm certain this isn't a bug as such, it's a symptom of lag and asynchronous processing - ie. you click on X but the game is still processing a previous click on Y, so that pops up, and then you click on Z, and Y pops up - which is confusing but not an actual bug. Some day we may be able to afford t...

A very easy fix indeed and done in dev. I'll upload it to prod later today.

I've noticed that recently, too. It seems that the first link that opens in a new tab opens a new tab, but subsequent links will re-use the existing tab. It's almost certainly a VERY simple fix. I'll look at it today.

This is indeed not a bug. You are allowed 5 cave-ins per permit, not per day. If you lose your permit, you may not purchase another one until the following day, regardless of how long it took you to lose said permit. If the RNG is kind enough to let you get through an entire day's adventuring withou...

Very odd, considering the way the intermission script resets this stuff (ie. everyone at once rather than individually). We'll have to keep an eye on that.

Yummmmm

Token gear isn't meant to be "uber", it's basically there to let someone effectively equip a slightly-reduced power token in every slot, and makes them look shiny. There will be better items available, and bear in mind that only people who were lucky enough to get alpha launch bags and 2007 christma...

Both sound useful, and neither sounds particularly difficult to do (famous last words).

Tell me, though, what "relevant information" would you like to see in the hover popup?

Sorry, meant to take a look at this when I got home from work, but a situation arose at home that prevented it. I've had a look and there's no obvious reason why this should have happened. There is a solitary cave-in at an odd time, but that should've been pre-rollover so... shrug. Right now it look...

Done

So you are. How silly. Fixed.

Since people seem to be enjoying the goodies and the launch party atmosphere, I'm extending the launch by 24 hours. Sign up and log in before 0:00 GMT on the 1st September to get your goodies (nom nom nom!)

Fixed

Ah, yep, I see the little bugger. Fixing it now.

Just over 8 hours since we launched the public alpha, and it's been.. well, pretty intense. We've had over 20 new signups, and a total of 52 unique users logged in, definitely a record for a single day so far. At one point, we had 22 logged in at once, most of them in chat, and the server behaved re...

Fixed.
