Just a Quick Update
The Hit, Missed and Blocked graphics during attacks have been updated; they were ported from the Test Server.
The Mail Inbox's "Viewing Message" page has been given a minor update also - the sidebar is now horizontal to make more room for message text.
The Test Server is where I am currently working on a brand new feature called World Building. Once complete, players will be able to make custom versions of everything, including Medals, Items, Maps, NPCs and Quests!
At the moment, it is too unstable to allow players to take a look. In a couple of weeks, when things are more robust, I will open it up to everyone!
I recognise that it's a big ask to have everyone wait (although some of you must be used to it by now). For that reason, I will be making an effort to log my progress on the forum, via Twitter and in the chatroom.
Armoury Bug-fixes
A few minor bug-fixes today:
Costing by Cost descending is not very reliable at the moment, so I've sorted it in ascending order (lowest to highest). I expect to have support for both directions at some point, but it really isn't worth the hassle for the small utility the function serves.
Also, when a vendor has no stock left, but their asking price is lower, it will not be shown as the lowest price on the listing until they have stock again.
Template Cleanup
Tomorrow (Saturday 17th), I will be merging the numerous difficult-to-maintain website templates into one default template (the rpStandard 2.0 that has been in testing for the past few weeks).
This affects you in several ways. Firstly, I will be porting the styles (colour themes) of old rpStandard template to the new one.
I already have Blue Metal and Red Metal, which are the most popular ones. I can't guarantee that I'll keep every colour theme, but the Darkness theme is pretty safe ;-).
To those who use the template with a sidebar (rpNew): there is a good chance I will remove this template. However, I am making another sub-template of rpStandard2.0 which features a sidebar. Hopefully, you'll be able to choose from all of the same colour themes that the main template has (Blue, Red, Darkness, and so on).
If you have any strong opinions on this (or even suggestions), send me a private message.
Global Armoury Online For Testing!
Finally, the Global Armoury is online! It will be visible in the menus tomorrow, under ACTIONS.
In the meantime, you can still access it by clicking here. It is in full working order, so don't be afraid to use it!
Feedback on the [url=board.php]forum[/url], via a PM for Cyberkilla or in the [url=chat_main.php]chat room[/url] is welcomed! After a few hours of testing, I'll put it in the main menu.
Upcoming Global Armoury
The Global Armoury feature I've mentioned on a number of occasions is almost ready for release, in the next day or so. In the meantime, here are the latest screen shots:
Screen shot of an item listing, which shows how a single item type can be sold by the vendor, and by individual players.

Netherworld Rift has Reformed!
Back by popular demand, and since it's April Fools Day, the limited edition Halloween Land maps are online again!
They will remain online until Saturday night, so take advantage of the opportunity!
Collector's Items:
- Netherworld Pickaxe
- Netherworld Rail Gun of Devastation modder
- Netherworld Blade of Incandescence modder
- Medal Making Kits
- Bank Deposit Boosters
There are also Pumpkin Masks and Grogs to collect, Trick or Treat houses and a Maze which has a limited edition Jump Pack at the end, to make travelling between worlds nearly instantaneous!
A Halloween map in April? Sure, it was only ever a conduit for giving players a chance to get some rare items. I've been asked about it so much that I've relented. Make the most of it!
