Version 8.4.0 Released
Large security-centric update, plus fixes for Abandoned Items and Edit Profile pages.
Please report any issues in forum. Image assets are now versioned by build version, so theoretically we shouldn't have any issues with browser's holding onto stale JS files.
Successfully Migrated to Docker Containers
We've been working on modernising the codebase and deploying it inside of Docker containers, to speed up development.
This is all finished and live now; hopefully more bugs have been fixed than have been created, but either way, let us know in the forums.
New player-facing features will start appearing in the coming weeks, now that this blocker is finally complete.
Daily Login Streaks and Holiday Mode
Just a quick update: using holiday mode will now pause your daily login streak counter until you return.
Previously it was not respecting holiday mode and clearing entirely.
Server Migration Completed
Just a quick update: last night, we migrated to new, substantially more powerful, dedicated server hardware, to give us room to grow and to dispense with the performance overheads of cloud providers.
This also marks a return to the original datacentre that the game has spent the majority of its life at; it is fitting that we return to it now, when everything is looking positive again.
We've also upgraded to HTTP2, which also brings performance and latency improvements.
We are excited to see what the next few months have in store for the game.
New In-Page Chat Feature
We now have a basic in-page chat feature, which should hopefully make everything feel a bit more connected. Expect further refinements to it in the near future though. Feedback is appreciated.
There are a number of updates planned, from new content to new game mechanics, changes to player and guild progression, health bars, item durability, crafting, fishing, mining, and much more.
It'll be interesting to see how much we can get out of the door before Christmas!
Player & Guild Vault Clean-up
The player and guild vault pages have been updated to the newer site theme, so should be more consistent and easier to use.
- Well, this has been a productive week for FutureRP development. I hope I keep it up, got some interesting stuff in flight
