Code Update - Get Ready
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 11:44 am
I'm currently preparing to perform a massive code update in the game which, I'm really hoping, won't significantly affect anything for the majority of players, but which will enable us to start implementing the new content we need to move towards beta. This change involves around 50,000 lines of code (give or take) and makes several fundamental changes to how things work in the background. It will make things faster and more efficient (wow), but importantly it gives us the ability to do lots of very cool new things, like adding character classes, skills, new quests, locations, items and all sorts of stuff.
In the short term, you won't see much different. Some of the maps are a bit different, there are a couple of minor quest changes, a new effect or two and so on, but that's about it. But in the next few weeks... well, there's LOTS that's waiting on this, so it needs to be done asap.
Soon (not exactly sure when yet), you'll see an announcement to say the game is going offline for a few hours for me to make the changes I need, so stay tuned.
