New core is up and running on the test server. Be sure to pay a visit and test some stuff out. This revision should help to alleviate the crash problems on KA and also fix a lot of the aura exploits and glitches that popped up during the last update. The sooner we get this build tested, the sooner we can get it up and running on the live realms. Most likely we will slowly move it up like we usually do - allow the test server some time, then move it to Dark Ash and allow time, then finally move it to KA.

We've also added a new Bug Tracker and a Developer Blog. You can find links to them in the General Info section on the sidebar to the left.

The bug tracker allows Anonymous posting and registration is disabled for now. Elazul (Our Spells/Talents moderator on the forums) now has mod access to it and has started transferring Bad Ash data from the forums into it. Kick Ash's Spells/Talents/Items threads will not be getting moved over but the Quests/etc will.This is due to the new core changing a great deal of things and the fact that some of those issues are not relevant anymore.

The Dev blog is where Hordequester keeps a record of what he is doing on the Test Server, what kind of issues we face day-to-day, and other various (not necessarily game-related) issues. If you want to know how things are going, that is the place to check.

Shuffler/Transfer NPC is disabled on all realms until further notice.

Kick Ash and Dark Ash: Veteran Rewards now check account at login and will be removed if you are not a veteran. Bad Ash will have this change on it's next restart.

Dark Ash and Kick Ash: Repaired all rep gains, Hunter Auto Shoot, and fixed the last remaining known crash.

Equipment manager is disabled on all realms until further notice. You may need to turn off the feature in the interface to not have issues with odd messages.
