2009: 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.

2008: In the process of making a change to stat gain mechanics, I inadvertently put *some* of the changes into prod. Stat gains and level progression will be *odd* for a while.

2009: Whenever you acquire items through adventuring, they should show use/equip/eat/drink/etc. links. Handy, or what? Whaddya know? Turns out those links work when you combine or buy stuff, too. That just about doubles the amount of handy. You know those links I mentioned earlier? They're on the mail and trade pages now too. FOR GREAT HANDINESS!

2009: 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.

2009: 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.

2009: 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.

2008: Added (limited) avatar support

2010: 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.

2010: 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.

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 :)

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.

Paradox History: 2010: 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).

2009: 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. Fixed a small calculation error in the fastest quest leaderboards. Sorry about that. I've just been advised by Candy that she's rapidly running out of Infinite Rolls of TP. She says they expect to run out by the weekend, but there's some new stock (of something different) on its way to replace it. Just thought you'd like to know.

Know of something else that happened on this day? Add it here!

2009: In a few minutes, I'm going to start uploading a huge bunch of changes related to the Reset mechanic. There should be no downtime, but you MAY notice some quirks, so I strongly advise you stop adventuring until the changes are complete. I will be in chat before and right through the update, so if you have any questions, go right ahead and ask. PHEW Ok the update is complete, and everyone should be fine to keep adventuring and test the hell out of the latest changes. That's what alpha is all about after all. If anyone has lost anything in the update, please pmail me with as many details as you can provide. Please note, insurance only covers real losses, not made up ones. One of the updates made today is concerning the way items show up when you acquire them, and there were some display problems in some (quite a few) places. I've fixed most of them but there are a few remaining that I'm working on. The problem is purely a display issue and has no effect on gameplay whatsoever. OK, so far as I can tell the display issues are sorted. Let me know if you find any more. Just a reminder to all players that, if they have a theory on how to exploit "loopholes" in the new reset system, they should discuss it with someone on the dev team before attempting to exploiting it. That's how "alpha" testing works. Anything else is risking account deletion.

2011: Does this thing still work? Testing! Testing! ONE TWO ONE TWO! TWO!! TWO!!! Good. I think we're going to need it.

2009: While reset restrictions are in force, Moolah from anything bought in your store will now go straight to your stash. You know, like the warning says it will. Thanks (and a shiny new bug zapper) to Invisible for bringing this and a similar store-related bug/oversight to my attention.

2009: Another small bug related to resets (thanks again Invisible!) - New players are unintentionally subjected to the same restrictions as players who have reset, which is NOT intentional. I'll fix it as soon as I get home. Stupid work firewalls.

2009: Ant gear items are no longer able to be stored or kept in quantities greater than one due to a potential issue with reset restrictions (think about it). If you had more than one of any of these in your backpack, or any in storage, these extras are gone now.

2010: 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.

2008: All non-dev accounts with IDs less than 1000 have been renumbered. Let me know if there are any problems.

Due to a MAJOR change in a couple of database tables, the Noob quest has been reset for everyone. Better go visit the Professor!

2010: I believe that the silly, apparently-random "Inline chat sometimes doesn't start" bug has been squished in the latest version of the chat (0.7.23) but you'll probably need to refresh your browser to get it to work properly.

The latest update has made some extremely significant changes to the way the game stores information about your adventuring. While it's been tested pretty thoroughly, please look out for anything that refers to historical data that seems incorrect. That's things like favourite locations/opponents/equipment, award qualification, leaderboards etc. If you find anything, please report a bug.
Site maintenance is complete and, so far as I can tell, 100% successful. There was much rejoicing. Yay.

2009:

The City's Timekeepers have discovered a fairly serious anomaly with the calendar we've been using, which resulted in us losing 2 months a year for the past three Paradox years. Surprisingly, nobody noticed until now. Two months have been added back to the calendar (hooray for Oxtober and Goatember) and, oh yeah, it's 2009 again. This is all perfectly normal behaviour and nothing to worry about.
Just for Kosh's benefit, this update is completely packed with fun. You'll just have to trust me on that one.

2009: The pocket calculator is now an off hand item instead of an accessory. If you had one equipped, it's in your backpack. If you had an outfit with one as an accessory, it's been changed. There's a good reason for it.

2011: Intermission might be a few minutes longer than normal today, for no particular reason. Potato. Oh, what a giveaway!

2012: Slight glitch with tonight's intermission. Nothing too serious, but some players may have unintentionally received a handful of additional turns at intermission. Lucky sods!

Chat notifications on mail/trade message received have been fixed, for the information of anyone who noticed they weren't working.

2011: The Placable Platypus holopet has had its silly beaver tail pulled and its crazy duck bill tweaked and it's now giving much more sensible item drop modifier rates.

Good news and... other news: The St. Patrick's day content will be sticking around for another day, but the Leprechauns have been adjusted slightly to remove the massive advantage they were giving people at very high levels. Oh and there's the thing about the Platypus that I'll tell you later.

2010: The combat item hit/miss calculations have been... well, not nerfed so much as fixed. Let's call them "tweaked". Yes, let's.

When fighting, your opponent's power meter now more accurately reflects your opponent's power compared to your own. A value of 1 (the minimum) means you're hugely overpowered compared to your opponent, while a value of 99 (the maximum) means the exact opposite. A value of 50 means you're pretty evenly matched.
Please to be thanking you very very much, but we are being having some special contents for today's holidays. To be being sure. Sorry, I just can't do an Irish accent.

Due to confusion, tiredness, lateness and, yes, general incompetence on my part, Riley's gift delivery was somewhat bungled last night. Never fear! All should now be well, although some of you may need to re-equip a certain something.

2009: Made some small changes to the way lists of items (mostly in stores) appear. It just looks... nicer.

2009: You can now "use another" or "use several more" of an item you just used/ate/drank/whatever, without needing to scroll down. Paradox! Proudly protecting Paracites from carpal tunnel syndrome (and exercise) since 2009.

Items marked as "giftable" but not "tradeable" can now be sent via pmail, but not through the trade system. Which is how they were always meant to work.

2009: Rainbow Springy is no longer listed as a "Consumable" item because, hey, it ain't consumable. There was also a slight bug with that item related to consumption stats, which I've fixed (thanks Invisible again) but it's not worth trying to correct the historical data.

Due to time changes, there are going to be two rollovers tonight. The city's timekeepers claim this is some kind of "paradox" and that this kind of behaviour is perfectly normal and nothing to be alarmed about, which is just the kind of non-linear clap-trap we've come to expect from them.

2009: A small typo in some important code has caused all kinds of havoc with a couple of players' inventories today. For the most part, I believe this is fixed, however if you notice anything odd, please STOP doing whatever it was you were doing and report it through the Mail->Report a Bug link asap.

Server outage: Fixed? It looks like the hosting provider managed to fix everything, and we're back online. There's no obvious damage from the outage, but be vigilant and if you're absolutely certain something's wrong, send a bug report with as much information as possible and I'll do what I can to fix it for you.

2009: Minor bug in chat. Fixed in version 0.7.1.

Updates completed. Paradox Chat is now at version 0.7.0 and there are a couple of new features that people have been asking for (chat macros and coloured chat channel names - check your Account-Options page). If you have ANY problems, particularly with chat, you should first try refreshing your browser to make sure you have the latest version of all files. If that fails, let me know.

I'm about to start uploading a few changes which may cause the site (and particular chat) to go weird for a few minutes. If it does, it won't be long.

2010: In other news, the wabbit hunter appears to have been wandering through the city, taking back all his shiny magic helmets. What a strange little man.

Server load is still an ongoing issue, but the game is back up. I'll keep on top of the hosting provider as well as I can, and keep you updated either here or through the forums/twitter if anything changes.
The database server crashed overnight, but has now been fixed. I'm trying to find out from the hosting provider why this happened, but I'm not holding my breath for a reasonable response.

The system clock is still playing up and, if the system alerts are happening now, it looks like intermission will happen in about 15 minutes. There's nothing I can do about it from here.
The clock on the server pitched some kind of a hissy fit and failed to run intermission at the right time. I'll keep an eye on it tomorrow.

2014: New items/recipes on their way any minute now. As are nerfs. HOORAY! said the citizens, ironically. Check the forum for information.

2010: Timezone on the new server was set to the wrong timezone so intermission happened really really early again. Fortunately it also didn't happen properly so apart from a couple of minutes of that maintenance page, nothing actually happened. I plan to be monitoring this tonight just in case there are further issues.

Migration to the new server is now complete! Hopefully that's the end of the lag... at least for a while.

2009: Due to popular demand (well, a couple of polite requests), contact and ignore lists have been implemented. The ignore list functions are fully implemented, but the contact list stuff still needs some work to be useful. As usual, refresh your browser and chat to get the latest version of everything, and let me know if anything's broken.

Hint: Check your Account menu. Be sure to read the documentation for some important information.

The Paradox Conditions of Use have been updated. Specifically the section on Multi Abuse. Failure to read it is not an excuse for ignoring it so make sure you check it out at some stage.

Along with chat channels, you can now set a colour to be used for displaying messages from players on your Contact List. Refresh your browser so you get chat v0.7.4 to see the effect.

The "LOGON" and "CHAT STATUS" options in your contact list now do what they're supposed to do.

And so does the "RESET" option. Browser refresh to chat v0.7.5 might be required. Any problems, please report a bug.

2008: Devices can now be installed and manipulated in much the way they were intended. Still more work to be done on this, but it's a start.

2009:A couple of options related to player store purchase notifications have been added, and you can now choose to login silently. Like Ninja. That will stop nosy parkers (and parkettes) being notified when you log on.

Non-storable items no longer show up in your "Manage Stuff" lists.

Item and Moolah drop rate modifiers now affect item and moolah drops from non-combat encounters as well as combats. Yes, I know you probably thought they already did, but now they do.

Most combat items will now take your stats and your opponent's power into account when used. Yes, that includes healing items.

2009:The "Manage Stuff" page has been tweaked to look a bit nicer and be more usable. You will almost certainly need to refresh your browser for it to work properly. Also, as well, in addition, the Backpack has been broken into compartments on both the "Manage Stuff" and "Store" pages. These compartments can be used as source compartments only! Use "Default (All Items)" as the destination for moving things TO your Backpack.

Mutiple tweaks to item lists in various places. Lists should now grow and shrink to fit your browser window AND you should be able to select multiple items by holding down the CTRL key while you click - or whatever the Mac equivalent is. Refresh your browser to update javascript and, as usual, report a bug if there are any issues (and, frankly, I'll be shocked if there aren't any with this one).

Know of something else that happened on this day? Add it here!

2009: If you're encountering any issues with any of the item management stuff that's been changed, please refresh your browser and retry before reporting bugs as I've already fixed a couple today and there may be no need to report it. If the problem's still there after refreshing, report away!

You can switch between popup and normal chat using the "Attach" and "Detach" buttons. Expect this to be tweaked a bit over the next day or two.
I'm aware that the chat attach/detach thing doesn't always work 100% perfectly and plan to work on it more tomorrow. Please don't report any bugs, because I probably already know.

2009: You can now add moderators and devs to your ignore list for trade/store purposes, but you'll still see chat/mail messages from them, regardless of what options you set.

Ok, you can now move stuff to your backpack regardless of which compartment is selected. Obviously, if you're viewing "Consumables" and you move something that's not a consumable, it won't show up in the list, but it will be moved to your backpack. Applies to both the "Manage Stuff" and "Store" pages.
Recent chat updates not exciting enough? You can add TIMESTAMPS to chat now. Woooo! Check your Account Options... Oh, and refresh your browser. Again.

A few players have commented that the toolbar on inline chat takes up too much space. Fair enough. I've made the buttons half the height.

2009: In addition to the database maintenance which is now (finally) complete, over 100 item and a bunch of opponent have been tweaked so that their properties better represent their actual approximate level in the game. Most of the changes involve autosell values (most of which have gone up) and attack and defence ratings (most of which have gone down). In most cases you won't notice much difference. As always - any problems let me know asap.

2008: Just for fun, a couple of opponents in the test location have elemental alignments. They're not particularly sensible, but that's why it's a "test" location.

2009: There are still a heap of leaderboard positions available since the recent changes to the reset requirements. I'd just like to remind everyone that these leaderboards will be retained permanently on the archive page, even after we go to beta and beyond, so why not go grab a spot while you can? Not only will you potentially get yourself a place in history, but you'll be helping us test the game as well so everyone's a winner (baby, that's the truth).

2009: Despite last week's database maintenance efforts, there are still some performance problems with the database, notably when accessing information for people who've played a large number of turns. I plan to do some serious investisnooping and resolve these issues asap.

Some favourite/most visited/most frequent information is temporarily unavailable while I investigate ways to improve database performance on one specific (gigantic) table. This will make a MASSIVE difference for some players' profile pages. Working on it.

2009: Ok, the missing stats are back, but I've made a change that means this information is now ONLY updated at intermission. In testing, that resulted in profile information being displayed in one thirty-fifth of the time it was taking before, at the cost of extending intermission by a couple of minutes, which is still way better than it was before. Let's see how we go. Any problems, please let me know.

Ok, intermission completed in 5 minutes today (down from around 20 last week) and profiles are now loading much, much quicker. Hopefully all the information in them is correct - let me know if it's not. Remember, information about things like "Favourite Food" and "Most Used Equipment" is now updated once per day at intermission!

The Ultraspati...thing lab has been modified so that it gives less stats for a couple of encounters and, if you're snotless... well, you won't get much joy at all. Because we like to spoil your fun.

2007:I'm back from Alice Springs and I've uploaded all changes. I've still got a week off work so expect.. umm, stuff.

The game now has a name - "Paradox! The Musical". Why the last bit? I dunno, it amuses me. It might still change.

Additionally, I've started work on the inventory system, and you will notice that certain opponents will now drop items after a fight. There is still a LOT of work to do to fully implement this, but you should find some serious changes happening over the next few days.

I've revised my schedule in view of the massive amounts of work required to get to an actual release (inventory, communications, trade, and of course actual content etc.). Expect an alpha release in around 2-3 months time. After that, things should flow a bit more quickly. In the meantime, you should expect weird stuff, not the least of which being that a reset can occur at any time! No, really. Depending on what changes I need to make, I might have to wipe everything out of the database, and I won't be careful about it at this point. So, if you log on and you've got no money, stats, items etc. sorry, but that's just how it is for now.

2009: The next zone will be opening in approximately 24 hours, give or take. This will not be during intermission, so be sure to save some turns tonight if you want to use them to explore.

All files uploaded ok. You may notice a few zones aren't open until you reach a certain level/complete a quest, but the requirements are pretty minimal. Please report a bug if anything doesn't open when it should.

2007: Well I had intended to do some more work on inventory, but wrote a basic chat interface instead.

2009: A new zone, the DQS Kitchens, is now open for your adventuring pleasure. Consider this part one, because a bunch of new, related, stuff will be coming soon.

For those who are still puzzled... no, we didn't forget to implement recipes, nor have we introduced a bunch of useless items. We decided that, rather than make you wait another week or so while we finished the recipes, we'd give you the new zone now and follow up with them when they're completed. Stay tuned.

2008: Game window should now be full width. Huzzah. Yes, I know that makes some pages look a bit ugly, but I'll get to them.

The construction site no longer exists. In case you missed it. Still working on the overview page though. If you have ideas, post them in the forum.

2007: Check your inventory for something.. interesting! Oh noes! I sold out to the man! Er, or rather I added a "Donate" link. Nobody who's here at this stage should even THINK of donating. Unless you're rich. Or you really want to. In all seriousness though, any donations made will be put aside and used to help set up a domain name and proper hosting, and will (of course) be rewarded with a Token of Appreciation for every $10 (US) donated. But, and let me make this PERFECTLY clear, there is no requirement to donate anything at all, ever. Made some major changes to the underlying PHP classes which make stat calculations about 500 times easier and mean that any items you have that modify your stats now display correctly in the character pane and effect fights etc.

2008: Several tweaks and improvements to the site interface which should make the site look much sexier and consistent across browsers. See, something to appeal to geeks and non-geeks alike. Also fixed some little bugs along the way.

2009: We're working hard on getting the promised recipes out in the next couple of days, along with a new, and hopefully complementary, Limited Edition item. If you still want to buy Pranksta Spats, we suggest you do it soon.

Also there is an upcoming additional appreciation item that will be given out when you donate. So save up your bucks and do not donate quite yet. ;)

2009: All issues should be fixed. I'm still trying to find out WHY we have an apparently-broken version of PHP on the prod server, but it should be ok for now.

Apparently the only serious problem with the new updates is the inability to actually log on so... nothing major then. Working on it now.

Changed player's last logged on to show YOUR local time. Provided I have your timezone saved in your profile (Jazzy, please advise).

2009: Despite every reasonable effort, and some seriously unreasonable ones, there's no way these new stuffs are going to be going out today. For various reasons, I'm not prepared to set another deadline at this. All I can say is that they'll be done as soon as possible and we'll keep you updated. Thanks for your patience.

2008: Chat now has a "/mark" command. Which presumably summons up someone called "Mark" to hold your place in chat, or something.

2009: I'm going to clarify here BEFORE I get crucified: The new Limited Edition Item is NOT required to access any of the new recipes. It does something else that's vaguely related to, but not directly involved with, the new stuff. Sorry for any confusion.

For anyone wondering where the new free stuff is... That word again was "complementary", meaning "goes well with" not "complimentary" meaning "free". Oh, and there are 73 recipes in total now. Have fun.
As promised, there's now a whole bunch of new recipes in the game which make use of the recent DQS Kitchen items. Enjoy! There's also a new Limited Edition Item in Token Gear. Since I didn't give you fair warning, I'll leave the Spats there

2007: Added several enhancements to chat: 15 minute timeout , System messages , Private messages (use /pm or /msg to send) , Emote messages (use /me or /em to send) , Clear screen (use /cls or /clear) , Exit (use /exit)

Implemented multiple select operations for mail messages. At this stage you can delete, mark as read or mark as unread. Saving messages will have to wait until there's somewhere to save them.

2009: For those who keep wanting to know how many of X combat or nombat you've had (and who keep asking me to check) there's now an experimental "extended adventure information" link in the appropriate section of your profile. Let me know how it goes.

2009: Player profile pages have been slightly tweaked, pending the upcoming privacy option settings. Hopefully things are laid out better and grouped more logically.

Just added a shout filter to chat which will block any chat message which is over 10 characters long and contains more than 50% caps. Let me know if there's any issues.

2007:I have completely rewritten fight.php! That's exciting to me, since the code is SO MUCH neater and easier to work with, but probably not exciting to you, since it should look exactly the same if I did it right.

Slight, but pretty, enhancement to the progress bars in the character pane.

2007: Spent $100 on stuff for the game. You'll find out in a couple of days. Or at least some of you will :)

Stupid power failures on July 31 apparently disrupted the system clock on (what I laughingly call) the "server" so times were a couple of hours out. Fixed.

2009: The Pranksta Spats are no longer available in the Token Gear store.

Oh, and the generic male/female/unspecified images have been made prettier. Ooooh! Aaaaaah!
Just uploaded a few minor bugfixes and tweaks to chat (parsing of HTML commands), adventure stats (added "too long" count - ie. fights lasting more than 30 rounds), a small issue with avatar display for non-gender-specific players, and a speed tweak for the respect details page, when viewing players with a lot of respect/disrespect. Any problems, let me know.

2012: I'm about to update some stuff, so other stuff will go kinda funky. Bear with me for a minute or two.

Well that was way less painful than expected. New LEI is now available in Token Gear (TM). This is something very different, so be sure to appreciate all its nuances, ramifications and general sexiness. Have fun!

2007: OK you can now save a message, and elect to keep a copy of any messages you send. The latter option is OFF by default (to save disk space) but you can turn it on with the checkbox at the bottom of a new message. I haven't got anyone online at the moment to help me test fully, but feel free to explore and let me know how it goes.

2012: There appears to still be a problem with donations. If you donate and receive an error instead of shiny tokens, please report a bug including your donation amount and transaction id, and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

2007: The bug (below) is fixed now, and I've managed to sort out some other issues with repeated smilies and stuff in both chat and mail. Oddly, chat is failing to save ampersands (&) to the database, but mail is doing it OK, even though they both theoretically use the same code. It's too late and I'm too tired to think about it right now.

There is a bug in the mail system which causes HTML characters to be re-evaluated every time a message is saved (eg. when changing it from read to unread, saving it, whatever). I will get onto it when we get back from house-hunting this afternoon.

2009: I've added a bunch of links to the top of various account-related pages to help you navigate around. It's the same stuff that's in the "Account" menu, but each to their own.

Restore-type items will now prevent you from using more than you need. Regardless of how many you specify, ONLY the number required to restore to max capacity should be used. I think I nailed them all but let me know if I missed anything.

2009: The game is currently suffering from lag caused by some idiot on our hosting node using far too much processor time. I've logged a support ticket (again) and hopefully they'll be able to sort it out before too long. Some day, maybe we can afford a dedicated server... until then, we're kinda stuck with it. Sorry.

There are a ton of new item and opponent descriptions, images and custom messages floating around. Well at least a hundred anyway. Enjoy!
It's not *quite* done, but it's close enough. Charlie Gardens Memorial Park is now open. Feel free to check it out and report any weirdness.
A new item has been created to reward people who report significant bugs. The first one has been awarded to Dad (#1012) for picking up a rather nasty infinite item bug. Thanks, Dad!

I'm testing as I go, but I need to make these changes in the live environment urgently so I can't test as thoroughly as I'd like to. Please let me know if there are any bugs as a result.

2008:

Small update: Avatars are now 100x100 (thumbnails 50x50). Why? Because of the high availability of 100x100 avatars and the difficulty many people are facing resizing them to the old size. Yay.
Due to general incompetence on the part of our hosting company, there is a chance that the site could go down at ANY time. Not that you'll be able to read this if it does, but be forewarned just in case. Rest assured I'll be trying to get it back as quickly as possible.
The game will be taken offline to move to the new server at midnight GMT. That's in about... 45 minutes. It will be back once the move is complete and DNS changes have propagated.
The server move appears to have gone more or less flawlessly. I'm checking to make sure there are no problems, but please let me know if you find anything not working correctly as there may be permissions updates required.

2008: The "Test Fight/Demo Location" zone has officially been disabled. Don't panic, we're gonna be replacing it with something much better. Soon.

Two new leaderboards added: Respect & Disrespect. Have fun with that.

2009: When an encounter leads to both a stat loss AND gain, you should no longer be told you gain then lose points/levels/etc. That's the theory anyway. Let me know if it's still weird.

Those among you who are particularly astute will have noticed a handful of new items that are somewhat useless. For the most part, this is only temporary. See, we have a sort-of a planny-type thingy... it'll all become clear eventually. At least, clearer than it is now. Trust me.
Please feel free to add your own enthusiasm to my last update. I'm tired.
New zone is now available for adventuring excitement. Go crazy.

2008: The slingshot has had its power reduced to a much more sensible level.

Recent issues with spontaneous database corruption leading to all kinds of weird results should now be a thing of the past. Hopefully.

2009: The account options page has finally been updated so it looks like the other pages, and a new email privacy option has been added (at the bottom, just scroll down).

2007: Hmmm, a construction site has unexpectedly appeared. And it makes me wonder. Like a bustle in a hedgerow. Whatever that is.

2008: A number of opponents no longer drop moolah because.. well, it's absurd that they would be carrying any moolah to drop.

A new quest has been added. I'm not going to tell you where. Have fun :)

2009: XP gain (ie. level progression) has been balanced better with other Stat gains. Also, some pretty stuff on the main map page. More to come. Let me know if any issues.

2010: For anyone wondering, the new packages will be openable soon. As soon as I know when that is, I'll post an update. In the meantime, enjoy the shininess.

2008: Remember those stickers I mentioned? Check your miscellaneous inventory.

Sorry about the multiple database restarts in the last few minutes, I was just testing some performance mods. Currently showing pretty good results, too.

2009: The Wall of Scrawl has been updated so that the text is readable. And that's a GOOD thing.

OK, I forgot the DQS Research Labs. It'll be next week now due to... other stuff I have to do in the next couple of days. Thanks to those who let me know.
OK, I'm reasonably sure all maps now have images on them. Let me know if I missed any.
I'm slowly working through all these maps and converting text links to images with text, for much prettiness. None of the images are perfect, but they're better than boring old text. Hopefully they'll all be done in the next day or two.

We currently seem to be experiencing random periods of lag, which is almost certainly the hosting provider's fault yet again. I've logged a support ticket, but in the meantime please be patient.

Nov 3, 2009 22:48: After multiple requests to disable it completely, I've agreed to change the chat inactivity timeout from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. If it has a negative impact on the game now, or at any point in the future, it will be changed back. Make sure you have chat v0.7.13 to get the longer timeout (refresh your browser if necessary). Please, stop asking me to disable it entirely. It's there for an excellent reason and needs to stay. !

Thu, Nov 5, 2009 04:52 - Gobberwart Several updates... Chat now has an "away" function and will tell us who's lurking. There's a notepad. Um, player stores now show "-" for no limit instead of "0" (thanks Wilson) and a couple of other minor things. Worth waiting for? Turnip.

Thu, Nov 5, 2009 04:06 - Gobberwart Tonight's intermission will be longer than normal. As long as a turnip, as usual.

2010: Another outfit has been added to the game. Its purpose is currently Unknown.

The drop rate for probably milk has been doubled due to multiple requests. Hopefully things will be significantly milkier for those who want it.

2008: Added the "Today In Paradox History" templates to the wiki. Which is what you're looking at now.

Testing of the last update to chat seems to indicate a huge reduction in chat's memory usage. Which makes sense in its own special way. Any feedback on that would be appreciated.

A couple of changes have been made to chat (both kinds) to address an issue some people have been having with chat failing to automatically refresh while Avast! Antivirus is running. Please refresh your browser and make sure you have v0.6.25 of chat, and let me know if there are any problems.

2009: Due to popular (and less popular) demand, somewhere between three and five (ie. four) relatively-easily-obtainable TP restorers have been added to the game. Check with Rex for the really easy ones. The others you'll need to hunt for. This update may or may not be related to the impending release of a new Token Gear (TM) item.

2009: The Placable Platypus holopet has had its formulae tweaked (oooh!) so that it will properly give a bonus at intensity levels beyond 30. This will make it slightly less effective at lower levels but much, much better at higher ones.

In other news, the combat script has been adjusted slightly again to take care of an issue with auto-attacking when your opponent gets intiative. Of course, that meant I found something else that needs more tweaking so expect changes in the coming days. Any problems, please report a bug.
And finally (for today), someone has finally noticed that "cheesy" has been spelt incorrectly in a couple of places for around two years. This grotesque oversight has now been corrected! Harsh words were said, tears were spilt, and accusations were made about the spelling of "saucey" elsewhere. Look, I don't want to talk about it, OK? That bruise? I walked into a door! Kids, go stay with your Auntie Maureen for a few days!

2009: A minor issue with players joining chat but not showing up in the player list until they speak has been fixed. Update to chat v0.7.18 to see the change.

Chat v0.7.19 brings us a reordering of the right-click menus. In general the new layout seems to make more sense, so please take some time to get used to it before you tell me you liked it better before. Also in v0.7.19, it's now possible to respect/disrespect people from chat/the right-click menus. I believe that's the last bit of fiddling with chat for a while.

At some point in the future, this might be made configurable (if there's demand for it) but for right now, it's enforced so I can do some decent testing.

2009: As many of you have no doubt noticed, we have been experiencing a ton of lag lately. This is the result of a problem with our hosting provider and we are currently working as closely as possible with them to get the problem fixed. In the meantime, please be patient - we'll get it sorted out as soon as we possibly can.

There are a couple of things I can try which MIGHT help bring the current lag situation at least partly under control. Unfortunately they involve some down-time. Hopefully no more than an hour but that assumes everything goes well. I'll be doing that at around 8am AEDST, or 11am game time tomorrow. Please bear with me while I do that work and, if all goes well, enjoy the reduced lag.

2009:Maintenance done. Load on the server has been really low anyway for the last 18 hours or so, so it's impossible to tell if it's made any difference, but everything seems to be working just fine. Let me know if there are any issues.

It turns out that 8AM AEDST is actually 11:30AM game time, which is approximately now. In a few minutes, the game will be going offline for me to perform some exciting database maintenance. Assuming everything goes well, it shouldn't be offline for more than 30 minutes.

Leaderboards now go right up to 20! Eleven? Pah!
There are now leaderboards for "first reset" and "most resets". More to come.
It is now possible to reset your account and do all the tasks again from level one. Don't worry, you won't lose anything (promise!), but it'll give you something to do apart from amassing stats, moolah and items, and it'll help us test the game, which is pretty much the point of Alpha.

2008: Water balloons and Farts-In-Bags are now multiusable. I figure they're hard enough to obtain, might as well make them easy to use. Additionally, the Legion quest has been modified to be slightly less frustrating. If you're doing the quest, you'll see what I mean.

2009: For reasons of great helpfulness (and suprising obviousness) the autosell page now orders items by name, which is sensible, rather than by item id number which... isn't.

2009: So it turns out that image maps based on PNGs don't actually work in IE6 or below. Good job, Microsoft! Again. I've added a fix, so users with IE6 will be able to get around in the mall and the cinema, albeit with a less-than-attractive gif map image. Users with proper browsers still get the lovely alpha-blending from the PNG. That's win for everybody!

2008: The games official radio station (Paradox Radio) was added. You can listen by clicking on the Misc menu.

2009: Despite some fairly major coding headaches, the new Limited Edition Item and some secret stuff I'm not allowed to talk about is ready to roll out. Because it's a fairly major update to some fundamental mechanics, I'll be migrating everything to the live server during intermission tonight. As a result, intermission will be longer than normal. Probably no more than 30 minutes if all goes well. If it doesn't... you know the drill.

For those wondering... no, the Platypus will not be leaving the Token Gear (TM) store immediately. For future reference, though, once a limited edition item has been in the store for 12 weeks, you can pretty much assume it's going to be replaced any minute and make sure you get all that you need, because we can't do this every time.

2008: Today's intermission will be slightly longer than normal, as there are a few updates that need to be made. Nothing exciting, mostly tweaks/bugfixes, but I need to take the game offline while I make them. Sorry.

2009: A new Limited Edition Item is now available in the Token Gear (TM) Store! YAY! In other news, some fairly major changes to some existing code have been made in the last few days. Everything SHOULD be ok, but be on the lookout for any weirdness, particularly when adventuring. If you spot anything, let me know. Oh, and while we're here... burn cream is now usable in combat. See, we do listen sometimes.

2008: Please ignore the previous update. I sneakily made the changes when nobody (except Misty and jupider) was looking so intermission will be normal length after all. You shouldn't notice anything new - just bugfixes and tweaks mostly. Move along, nothing to see here.

2009: The map image for the Wessonian Museum is EXACTLY the same as it was before. Any changes you think you're seeing are COMPLETELY imaginary. Also, I won 1,000 moolah in the lottery today, yay me! Who needs twitter, seriously?

2010: 24 Hour Yule Chat Party starts NOW!!!! Actually a few minutes ago. And it might be more than 24 hours. And... Oh look, just go into chat and get some cool prizes and hang out and stuff, OK? Excellent. Glad we got that sorted.

2008: During intermission, it looks like someone hacked the game (potentially via the chimney) and left a couple of items in everyone's inventory. Oh well, no harm leaving them there I guess. PS. Merry Christmas everyone :)

2009: The Placable Platypus holopet is no longer available from Token Gear (TM).

For a couple of reasons, it is now impossible to create a player account with a name that doesn't contain at least one letter (a-z), though why anyone would want to do that in the first place is beyond me. Anyway, there it is.

2009: The code responsible for selecting "random" encounters when adventuring has been tweaked to hopefully reduce the number of repeats. Repeats WILL still occur, but getting the same thing more than twice in a row should now be a lot less common. If you notice any issues, please report a bug.

2007: I made a minor change to the rollover script yesterday which effectively made the database updates not happen. Fixed for today's rollover and run manually (twice) just now.
