Death of a Player - posted at January 15, 2020, 06:23:02 PM by Vita`
This is one of those announcements you dread having to write, but eventually, in a community as widespread and old as ours, is inevitable.
Yesterday we learned that on January 10, 2020 the player of Angelo family, Dexter Charles Herring, passed away from heart failure and other complications. A long-time off-and-on again player, Dexter brought a lot of spirit to the game with creative roleplays and built many friendships upon IRC and Discord over the years. If anyone would like to leave their condolences, you can leave one at his
obituary or our
wiki memorial.

[Read More]Forum Upgrade & PHP 7 Update - posted at July 02, 2019, 03:03:10 AM by Anaris
We're working on upgrading the version of PHP on the server to the latest (version 7). For the game, we've done some work to see that this should have minimal effects—hopefully all you'll notice is a slight speed increase.
We also have to upgrade the forum to support this, and the default theme we've been using isn't compatible with the new forum version. We're going to be setting up the upgraded version with a couple of different themes besides the built-in one—one darker theme, similar to the current brown theme, but with more of a bluish cast, and one lighter theme with support for mobile browsers. Feedback on this will be appreciated, but bear in mind that there are only so many SMF themes compatible with the 2.1RC2 release.
These upgrades should be happening within the next few days, and this announcement will be updated as we have more specific information.
