Brave limit reset spell

September 3rd, 2010
Added the Brave limit reset spell to the ZSpoints store. It uses 50% of your intelligence each time it is cast, and costs 5 ZSpoints. Use all ten of your limit of braves, then cast this spell and it goes back down to zero.

Tiny update

September 3rd, 2010
You probably noticed by now that a little update was made to add completed mission locations to the achievements, you should all have received your 1 ZSpoint per finished mission location. I’m still slowly rolling out these achievements as I update things, so expect more in the future.

Oh and in about a month I may be moving us to a new server. This will be a cheaper one but about the same performance. The new server will allow me to do a few more cool things to help pay for things. I hope to be able eventually to not have to worry about paying for the server, with your help with donations and pledgies.

The 1st of September was the 2 year anniversary of me seeing if it was possible to do this full time, it hasn’t worked out as expected, due to the economy and frankly whatever I did to annoy some of you, but I’ve learnt my lesson and hope to create alternative ways of doing this in the future. The game will remain around for as long as I can keep it around.

As always thanks everyone who has donated cash, or has pledged it means a lot to me and gives me a reason to carry on.

Travel update

September 2nd, 2010
Did a little update to the travel page. You can now see the missions you have left in the locations, also it shows in blue you current location. It also now tells you the price you pay for each journey.

A day in the outside office

August 30th, 2010

Spent today outside in the garden, digging a little pulling up weeds, you know the stuff. I usually take my notebooks and my laptop out too, and sit down to read my feeds, have a go on the game, and see whats happening in the world.

Today I was trying to create as much content for KoR as possible. I’ve now written down missions up until level 700 and I created a list of 55 new NPC’s for the highter levels too. Its been a productive day.

As you know I already added 10 new missions, to Lyonesse and Asgard. I have new shops, new items, new weapons and new missions for the next levels ready to type up.

My method for missions is this. I decide on a mission name, I decide what you find, what you need to complete it and then I write a hospital reason and jail reason for failure. Then I type up the description, the hosp text, the jail text and the success text. And move onto the next one. Only planning I do is the item finds and needed, and the name. The rest I do as I type them up. Feels better to do it that way. Idea pops into my head as I go along.

You may find a few clues in that picture, gives you an indication of how I plan out the stuff I do.

First bunch of updates

August 28th, 2010
I plan to do a lot of stuff this weekend, so if you see a few things change thats what it is.

I’ve made a few changes and additions, everyone menu is now jobs. The friends and enemies list have moved to profiles menu. The jobs will get an update soon, its about time don’t you think.

I also added your online friends and enemies above the shoutbox. I will be adding an option in the profiles section to enable or disable the lists if you want. I wanted to be able to see a friend online so I could chat, before they leave ;) Like anyone who has played the game for a while knows, I play and so many options are things that I want to add for myself, if you like them then great, but I feel that playing the game and seeing the issues helps me update it for the better.

Speak to you all again later
