Paradox History: 2009

This page shows everything that happened in 2009.

January 1st

• Recipe, Equipment and Inbuilt Outfit listboxes will now show a wiki link (if you have the option enabled) as requested by... somebody or other. As always, refresh your browser to update the javascript and let me know if there are any bugs.
• Since everyone calls them "Quests" anyway, "Tasks" are once again known as "Quests". Refresh your browser to update the menu bar.

January 2nd

• Slight modifications to Inventory pages layout which means that people lucky enough to have wide screens probably won't have to scroll as much. In related news: CSS guru wanted to make the top of the equipment page look nicer.
• You know those links I mentioned earlier? They're on the mail and trade pages now too. FOR GREAT HANDINESS!
• Whaddya know? Turns out those links work when you combine or buy stuff, too. That just about doubles the amount of handy.
• Whenever you acquire items through adventuring, they should show use/equip/eat/drink/etc. links. Handy, or what?

January 3rd

• Since this weekend's focus is stuff that's handy, have some more. There's some extra (and handy) info on various inventory pages, and there are some handy-dandy noteb... er, "Select All" buttons on the Autosell Stuff page. Blue would be happy.

January 4th

• Email confirmation is now required if you want to change your email address. For security reasons. Because, sure you care.

January 5th

• Several small updates: Any updates you haven't read are now shown on the overview and main map pages. Which you've probably already noticed. Also, as per player requests, there's a "send a trade offer" link on player profiles and autosell has been vaguely randomised. You'll know it when you see it.

January 7th

• Since it's really really tedious, and mostly pointless, you don't have to anything for von Noob after you reset. Seriously. Try it and see.
• The adventure queue system has been completly rewritten, which should significantly cut down on the number of repeated encounters. Hopefully without breaking anything else. Let me know if there are any problems.

January 9th

• Radio Free Xangaka is officially Paradox City's offical radio station. Click the Radio link in your Misc menu or head over to the Paradox Forums for more information.

January 23rd

• MILESTONE! Stroby's added Paradox links to his Bookmarks Toolbar Folder! How exciting!

January 25th

• A new and exciting store has opened in the mall. Much more exciting than, for example, this announcement. Go see Burt for all your awardy goodness.
• Addendum to the previous update: Some players may already have done things that would qualify for an award but may still not be able to obtain the award without doing it again. Sorry, some things weren't being tracked before. Lynch me if you like.

January 27th

• There are three new awards available. No, I'm not telling you what they are, but it might give a little hint if I tell you that the fight mechanics have been modified slightly in terms of how stat gains are distributed across Brawn, Brains and Bravado. Or maybe that'll just confuse you. Have fun :)

January 29th

• The adventure queue has been significantly tweaked, and should now be giving a better "random" adventure selection than actual random numbers. Go figure. Let me know if there are any problems.
• Chat command error messages have been extended to make them more user-friendly. Isn't that sweet?

January 31st

• It's only taken me about a year to get back to it, but Inventory sections now have links to the various subsections at the top, to cut down on scrolling. Let me know if you want to see them anywhere else.

February 8th

• Resetters Beware! We're currently in the process of making some fairly significant changes to the way reset works, which you should expect to see in the VERY near future. Leaderboards WILL be archived, and there are a number of other related changes that will make a difference to how you approach reset. One of these changes will affect how certain devices are treated when you reset. If you have any of the rarer devices out on loan, I suggest you get them back asap.
