Ok we're a bit over 48 hours in, there are 33 participants on the stone. It's nice to see that most of you who are participating, are taking it quite seriously. I was expecting more players to sign up and then not do much about it. The minimum skill required to qualify for a participation reward is ...

We're having a full-week, 168 hour contest to see who can skill up a character the most. Signup stone will open up in Moonglow Bank at 19:00 shard time, late entries are also possible. At 19:00 shard time (or as you signup, if you enter later) all participant's characters will have their skills and ...

Perhaps a week-long event: Starting this Sunday (September 24th) at 18:00 shard time. A week-long skillup race/marathon. Still coding it, so I'm not yet sure if it will be ready, but looks like it. Signups will be at a special Marathon Stone which will be put up a few hours before, but late entries ...

I think this timeslot is the optimum for most people.

Yeah there are some layers that wouldn't look right with stuff under them, parts of the clothing below would be sticking out, and so the game is coded so that it just completely hides the items that are below. This works with a well-coordinated collection of items where the graphics artists followed...

There will be an IDOC event on September 23rd, at 22:00 shard time. (that's 6pm US-East, 3pm US-pacific, 23:00 western Europe, 00:00 central Europe; 8am Sunday morning in Australia). The notification emails were sent 2 weeks ago, and I'll resend them today (but only for those who haven't yet logged ...

I sent out the reminder emails a few days ago, so it's likely that the IDOC will be on the weekend of September 23rd/24th. Time will be announced soon. As for other events, there's a house deco event and another (never before done) that I wanted to do in 2nd half of august but time makes fools of us...

I know what you did last summer...

You lifted that weapon and dropped it into a container in your house

Your skill in memesmanship has increased by 0.3%. It is now 0.3%

Hehe, maybe the hand of an admin had something to do it with you ending in the auction room :p OK I'm just looking up the history of stronger wooden boxes, loaded up a save from June 2008 and to my surprise I also logged in in the auction area, I'm guessing we just had an auction at the time or mayb...

Re-auction was just processed. If you won a re-auctioned item, the item should now be in your bank box. Took a bit longer since I had to fix a bug with quantities... although for example the auction stone did set up an item with appropriate quantity (e.g. 3 ethereal tubs), the quantity isn't logged....

Just an official word on the downtime back in August 13th. The second crash that day was probably because of Windows Update... After we got online from the first crash, I started windows update, and it probably auto-restarted a few hours after that. Which is weird that a server edition also does tha...

Topsite voting stone and rewards. For a while now, the topsite voting stone that gives rewards for voting has had a very low setting on how much you have to vote for the session to be rewardable, because of all things going on I couldn't also be handling tickets about this. And most people caught on...

Forum accounts activated: there was a problem with the forum system sending activation links via email, so there were a few dozen accounts pending activation. I have just activated them all, so in case you're waiting for this, just so you know you can now login. (In case you have a pending ticket ab...

By Thursday 23:59 there were 8 tickets for 6 items. For 4 of the items the winner is already known (only bidder) but there's 2 items that are still in bidding phase. The bidding is finished after there were no bids for 24 hours. So these trades will likely be processed sometime during the weekend.
