New Bounty Special Effect: The Hunted

The first super bounty effect is online: The Hunted. Reduces attack waiting time on target from 12hrs to 4hrs!

This is just the first of several planned special effects for super bounties. If you have any suggestions, please post them in the forum. :-)

Thursday Thieves Trial, Plus Final Double Experience!

For the next 24 hours, every hour, a tiny fraction of all players' banked Credits will drop into their pocket, ready for stealing!

Don't worry, you won't lose very much money at all -- the amount is always less than 100,000 Cr, and that's usually only for the super-rich! The benefit is that every player has some extra money to steal in their pockets, and it all adds up!

In addition, the final Double Experience award has been placed into every active player's backpack!

After that, the prize will expire. Check your Temporary Storage page for more information.

Version 8.25.0 Released

This release brings several new moderation tools to help mitigate the annoyance of malicious players and spammers.

Additionally, a full API suite has been implemented to enable LLM MCP to interface with the World Builder and help generate and modify maps, place NPCs, flesh out quests, and more.

It should be a real help as I start adding new content to the game, as manually clicking hundreds of forms gets old fast.
  • Version 8.24.0 Released
    Just a series of backend fixes; refactor board pages to use proper APIs; rudimentary public RSS feed; fixes to Preferred Player purchase processing, etc.

    Dozens of small improvements across the game that were noticed after analysing this week's error logs.

    More updates to come (actual user-visible stuff next time, hopefully, but it's all positive stuff).
  • Version 8.23.0 Released
    More backend work today:
    - Add double-submit CSRF token feature to mitigate exploits - makes it harder for third parties to trick you into doing actions with your account from hidden forms on their website
    - Minor redirect and error page tweaks to look slightly less bad
    - Remove some lingering ancient volatile GET requests - more conformant to modern standards
    - Add recent threads to sidebar advert box that appears on various pages
    - Declare all static assets to be immutable, improving caching performance - this one should improve perceived site speed by making sure your browser holds onto page assets very aggressively

    There's also been some work on the chat system's backend, and the beginnings of a modern frontend for it, though this is yet to be deployed.
