We have a festive batch of interface updates and bug fixes today… most of which seem to involve gang warfare… hmmm…
- In possibly the most festive update, there is now a gift link in player’s profiles. Top notch suggestionf rom TekRunner.
- Chat now includes a /channel command that will tell you about which channels you’re in and which you could be in. Good suggestion, Wyrd.
- Also chat related, the long-standing request for doublepost prevention was taken care of. Thanks to Llamaman and The Kitchen Sink for getting this on the list a ways back.
- In “shopping” encounters with old coins, your number of old coins in inventory should appear before the choices. Good suggestion, Steaming.
- Corrected some database problems causing issues in PvP. Thanks for the bug reports Caradal, xKiv, and Pyren.
- Changed the Dock’s name in Gang Warfare. If that sets anything on fire, be sure to tell me. Thanks for pointing that out, Vholes.
- In another old request off the list, gang message and description changes are now displayed in the gang log in their own section. Thanks to The Kitchen Sink for that one.
- Also corrected some very festive typos with help from Plus4, Mag, Vholes Piper, and Factitious.
Cheers!

Nice handful of updates and new features heading into the holidays.
- New characters now start with an extra day’s Energy, Body, and Hunger to help them start off on the right foot. Good suggestion, Sir Cheddar.
- You can now set yourself to other positions along with being leader in a gang, allowing you to receive the recently added recruitment notices among other things. Thanks Mag!
- Added some missing quest log text thanks to Plus4 and Wyrd.
- Fixed an weird interaction between Secrets of the Cube and Dreamslayer. Nice catch, Genesis Rhapsodos!
- And a special thank you to Mag, Thrillhouse, Dyffryn, Wyrd, Vholes Piper, and Caradal for helping stomp some typos.
And did you see that? It looks like it’s starting to snow.
Cheers!

Dropped in a few minor updates over Thanksgiving.
- There are now descriptions of the stats, available by clicking on their names in the left pane. Good suggestion, Steaming.
- There are descriptions in the quest log for the connections between steps in the main quest, in case you need a little nudge. I forgot to list this one a few updates ago. Thanks, Plus4!
- Killing the poet now properly removes the quest for his friend out of the quest log. Thanks again, Steaming!
- And we have an impressive crop of typo fixes including help from Mag, Borkman, Wyrd, Pyren, Cryptodynamic, Sir Cheddar, and Vholes Piper.
Cheers!

I have some updates to report, but also a bit of forewarning:
There is some scheduled downtime on the server from 5-11pm server time on Friday. That translates into 11am to 5pm Central Time. Our hosts are moving some servers around in the data center, which potentially might take less time, but shouldn’t be more than six hours without catastrophe.
- Added a “Last Hacked” in the left hand pane when appropriate. Thanks for the suggestion, Al.
- Your current effects are now updated when you receive Fae Eyes or Ocean Eyes. Good catch, Soulmech.
- New contacts now result in the Contacts link up top being highlighted. Good suggestion, Al and Juntao.
- Corrected some errors with saving account preferences. Thanks, Morwen!
- Also fixed up a slew of typos from Nyther, Man Mobile, Wyrd, Caradal, and Mag. Thanks!
Cheers!

Lots of updates this week. I’ve been puttering around fixing stuff and haven’t gone back to actually post the list, so I apologize if I missed anything.
- Made some sneaky improvements to the riot quest. Good suggestions, Llamaman and Plus4.
- Lo should now respond to Dr. Amundsen’s death properly. Good catch, Soulmech.
- Hitting Enter will search the Mall properly now in Internet Explorer. Thanks for the bug report, Polygon.
- The Ghost Ship should now show up in Completed Quests. Good call, Llamaman.
- Fixed some weirdness with Mikhail acting as questgiver if you let Lo die. Good catches, Happy Yeti and Factitious.
- Targeting a hacking defense twice won’t make the targeting arrow go away anymore. Thanks Wyrd!
- Entering hacking from an encounter will now work properly if you only have 1 energy left. Good eyes, Happy Yeti.
- Corrected an issue with Time Bomb not entirely destroying defenses. Thanks JTN2002!
- I broke Kingly Favor and Ghoultouched with code for the new donation item. Thanks to xKiv, Bonbon, and Borkman for helping me track these down.
- Also corrected a whole load of typos thanks to Mag, plus4, Wyrd, PaidPiedPiperPal, Blarghgh, Jick, and Thrillhouse.
Also, bats.
Cheers!

Okay, today we get a taste of the real Beta experience. I’ve made a code change that may or may not do terrible things, we’ll just have to see :)
In theory today at the normal time (8 PM Eastern), rollover and the granting of new energy should be completely seamless. No logoff, no blip, no nothing.
If this is messed up, pretty much the only thing that should happen is not getting Energy/Hunger/Body. If that happens, by all means send in a bug report, but you should be fine after logging out and back in.
Similarly, if it lags the hell out of the game or does anything really weird, give me a holler.
I’ve been meaning to try this for a while, but specific thanks to plus4 for reminding me.
Cheers!
