Paradox History: 2010

This page shows all of the updates that happened in 2010.

January 15th

• Tonight's intermission will be longer than normal while I implement a huge pile of security and performance improvements, and a couple of minor extra features. Expect intermission to be around 30 minutes, possibly more or less depending on whether or not there are problems.

January 16th

• A ridiculously large number of changes have finally made it through testing (thanks testers!) and have been rolled out here. If all's well, you won't actually notice any difference, except that the game might be a little bit more responsive, and it's definitely a lot more secure. Exciting stuff, isn't it? In other news, last month's Limited Edition Item has had its drop mechanic modified, and a few things have been tweaked here and there.
• If anyone is having trouble logging on (and is reading this), please refresh your browser. There have been some security-related changes to the way the game handles logging in which might cause a problem for some people the first time if they're still using the old login page.
• There is currently an issue with older versions of the Safari web browser, at least on Mac OS. I'll fix it as soon as I can work out how.
• The issue with Safari should now be fixed, BUT you may need to refresh your browser (again) to make sure you're using the latest version of everything, and maybe log out and back in again. Any further issues (after you've tried that) please let me know.

January 17th

• By special request from Spiff, Wiki Wacky Taffies are no longer autosellable.
• I just made a minor tweak to the security settings added recently. Some page refreshing might be needed to make the game work if you were just logged in
• In case you haven't noticed, there's a new option available in your account menu to automatically save a copy of all sent messages. It's turned off by default, but feel free to turn it on.

January 24th

• New Senior Chat Moderator positions have been announced. The new Senior Moderator group is MasTechno #777, Trogdorable #1022 and Sallyfox #1245. Please welcome our new chat overlords!

February 1st

• A rather nasty bug related to stashed moolah and reset restrictions has been found by CommanderMack and has now been fixed, but I have no way of telling exactly who's been affected. If you have had reset restrictions imposed over the past few weeks and have received moolah via pmail, check your stash currency and let me know if it's not right. In other news, due to the severity of the bug, I'll be sending CommanderMack a shiny new bugzapper shortly.

February 7th

• New login page and theme have been updated in the game. If you find anything looks wrong, it may be because your browser has cached some old files. Hit Ctrl+F5 (most browsers) to do a full refresh, clear your temporary files etc. etc. You know the drill by now. In other news, the new Limited Edition Item will be released in around 12 hours from now. If you want to get a Flashcube, now's the time to do it.
• In case you haven't noticed, all inventory sections (except for showcase) are now collapsible, and the game will remember the state you left the sections in between sessions, albeit only on the same browser/computer. Handy for those who have a lot of stuff and don't like to scroll.
• The new Limited Edition Item is now available from the Token Gear (TM) store in the mall (with thanks to CommanderMack).

February 13th

• Want to know what we're up to when we're not posting updates? Check out the Paradox twitter feed at http://www.twitter.com/pdox. It's riveting stuff. No really.

February 14th

• There may or may not be some kind of Valentine's day content somewhere about the city. Seriously, I'm not allowed to elaborate, which means... well, that's all I have to say about that.

February 20th

• At around mid-day game time tomorrow (10th Dromedary 2012) I will be putting the game into maintenance mode for half an hour or so to make some significant database changes. I'll try to post updates on the paradox twitter feed, which you can follow at http://www.twitter.com/pdox.

February 26th

• I just updated something. You'll know what it is without really trying. At least, those of you who've been here more than a year will. And unless you're Jesus who doesn't notice a damned thing.
