Ladder Refinements, posted on Sun Apr 26 00:18:25 2009
Posted by: Dasquian
Category: Playerkillers
A few tweaks to improve your PK ladder experience:

1) Being offline for more than 7 days flags you as being "inactive". Inactive people will show up on the ladder view in cyan, with [inactive] by their name.

2) Inactive people are not counted as possible targets. Therefore your three targets will be the three people ahead of you in the list, skipping over any inactives.

3) Every 24 hours, all inactive players will drop one rank until they fall off the bottom of the ladder. This means it's...

Blue Tooth Earrings, posted on Fri Apr 24 17:46:22 2009

A really minor blog posting here, but a new item of jewellery - a blue tooth earring, has been added to the Magic Box in Genua in response to a player idea. They suggested that it would be the ultimate in talkerisable accessories, and who am I to disagree?

No-one, that's who.

The colour changes that accompany impact shield absorbption were previously blocked by having on the 'brief combat' option - now they're not.

Greeter imps have been made available as playershop furniture, available from the... uh... spulluf in the Normal Fashion. They are the latest in technomancy, incorporating multi-character memories and extensive support for language localization.

Hi,

Another simple minor achievement for Ankh-Morpork.

Shields For TPA/major Shield, posted on Sat Apr 18 02:08:34 2009
Posted by: Kaylar
Category: Guilds
This is a repost of the blog entry that was eaten by a bug:

Major shields and TPAs cast with any shield that is not a proper shield

(i.e. one that cannot be used in combat to block) will now be significantly

less effective than those created with a proper shield.

This was changed to address the problem of some players having access to

origami paper shields that were considerably lighter and smaller than others

available. These shields were later removed but it was not practical to remove

Top Ten Tables, posted on Fri Apr 17 21:37:21 2009
Posted by: Drakkos
Category: General
To clear up all the crazy, zany creator guilds and gods from the top ten tables, I've changed the way they are architected internally. A side effect of this is that the current values for the tables have been wiped - they'll rebuild themselves over the new few days/weeks in the normal fashion.

AM Achievements, posted on Fri Apr 17 16:41:24 2009
Posted by: Thoreksken
Category: Am (domain pages)
A number of Achievements went live in AM a couple days ago.

Most are related to crime: "hoodlum","needs to learn the words","felt the force","vandal", "public enemy number one","renegade", "menace to society","jailbird" and "bail bonder".

Then there is also Dogbottler's Friend.

Due to some issues recently, the previous blogs were eaten and most bug/ideareport statuses about this project were reset. So give me a few days to catch up there ;)

Achievements Checking, posted on Fri Apr 17 16:23:08 2009
Posted by: Drakkos
Category: General
There's a new syntax available on the achievements command - it's 'achievements check' and lets you check for one specific achievement. No need to wait for legacy to kick on, or for the automated checking to trigger in situations where it is delayed.
