Version 8.16.0 Released

All time and date references in the game are now proper semantic
  • Version 8.15.0 Released
    The main change today is, we've removed the ancient "click the word that appears twice" CAPTCHA and replaced it with a more modern jigsaw-based design which is hopefully less of an annoyance.

    We'll still be looking at ways to reduce the number of occasions you see it, if at all, in the near future.

    Lots of substantial backend changes today as well:
    - The periodic tasks that grant hourly experience, execute raids, etc., have been made into multi-node runners to prepare for better horizontal scaling (faster, more robust)
    - Changes to DB schema (caused by adding new features, etc.) is now applied automatically upon deployment, speeding up game development
    - Misc fixes for tracking new player entry points and suspicious page accesses which regressed slightly due to moving to front-controller design

    More to come, we want this kind of update cadence to be maintained going forward. Main focus is new game content (maps, items), and some long-standing feature requests (guild territorial control, progression systems, new player skill trees, item extended attributes that act like passive skill buffs that stack). Should be interesting year for the game!
  • Version 8.14.0 Released
    Just a few fixes to the Wiki pages:

    - Removed old wiki system
    - Remaining wiki is has been tidied up slightly, with new options to rich text editor and all pages ported to standard template theme
    - More sensible URL scheme (e.g. /wiki/Main_Page)

    We still need the actual articles written for it, but that will be sorted out soon too. In addition, there've been some minor tweaks to the Point Trading page, related to average price calculation and allowing any offer to be bought, even if over average price.
