Marketplace Sell Item page
Marketplace "Sell an Item" page is getting an overhaul. You'll be able to use the new tabset and search your inventory! This may take 5-20 minutes to work correctly.
Also, the "my store" page will now display the BBCode toolbar (thanks Absol - Ruler of Chaos for suggesting this). It has always accepted BBCode text but now you can click instead of type!

Please let us know int he Bug Reports forum if you have any issues using the new features!

New emotes in Guilds
We are rolling out the new emotes into guilds. There will probably be a few minutes (5-20) when the older emotes might break.

Thanks st-sri for this fix!

zOMG's Buccaneer Boardwalk is open to everyone!

The boardwalk may not be completed yet, but we've decided to open it up in celebration of the upcoming launch of Deadman's Shadow. The boardwalk no longer requires a ticket to enter and the tickets have been removed from the shop. In their place is a pass which will eventually allow unlimited access to Deadman's Shadow: The Bloodstone Amulet.

Enjoy exploring the boardwalk!

Temporary Gift Box
Good news! The temporary giftbox recipe has been removed from the store, but we are not removing it from inventories -- you'll have as much time as you want to make your formula. Additionally, we have made the 3 paths for the recipe permanent, and you can find them in the existing Goldbox formula.

Aquariums/Booty Grab Offline

Aquariums and Booty Grab have been taken offline while we investigate a critical bug with the system. We apologize for the inconvenience and will have it up and running again as soon as we can get the issue resolved.

Thanks,

Booty Grab Back Online
An exploit was uncovered in BG that allowed large amounts of gold to be created. Our rockin' admin/mod team worked over the weekend to undo the (economic) damage, and except for edge cases should be mostly fixed at this point. The exploit has been repaired and BG has been turned back on.

Spring Cleaning 2011
We'll do a full announcement for this, but: the (traditionally misnamed) Spring Cleaning forums for 2011 are now active.

We are finishing up on a couple of features that will be out soon (BidBlast and zOMG), but other than that, we want to concentrate on site maintenance and bug fixes. This is your opportunity to have a say in how we prioritize!

We'll be adding proposals to the main proposal forum. Think we missed something important? Place it in the Spring Cleaning Proposals forum and get people to vote it up!

You'll use cookies to vote up proposals, and you can only vote up a certain number of times per day -- see this post for all the gritty details.

Other stuff we're looking at over the next month:
  • fix a bunch of zOMG/BG bugs
  • fix pages that are incredibly slow
  • get the flash games working better

Spring Cleaning Tweak
Given the number of fine proposals in the Spring Cleaning Proposals forum, for now we've bumped the number of cookie votes up to 10 per day.

This will be going on at least a couple of weeks, so you should have time to burn a substantial number of cookies.

BidBlast
In the next few hours we will be rolling our new feature for you guys to buy, bid, and win! We will be monitoring it closely to ensure everything is working.

Don't forget to tell us what you think in the Site Feedback Forum

Cheers!

- fixed glitch with multiple Enki drops
- Added a gold glitch report form to the tank. If you did NOT get granted gold for a particular play, please use the (tiny) form immediately above the comments.
- we're looking the spurious tank glow reporting

Witch Doctor Drops
This was actually out a week ago, but I don't think it was announced... apologies if this is a duplicate. The Witch Doctor drop was fixed, and you should be able to open it without problems.

Bidblast Will Be Changing
We're going to let the current auctions play out, but we'll be making some changes to Bidblast. For purposes of discussion, we're thinking of the following changes:
  • raising the ticket price
  • requiring the user to have the gold when they bid
  • if you win, you automatically win -- that is, you don't have the option of refusing the auction

This will hopefully make the auctions resolve more quickly.

Site Outage / Bidblast
We had a site outage this morning, and ops has been working ever since to resolve the issue. Site should be working for everyone, and inventories were not affected. We are taking steps to try and make sure something like this does not happen again.

Vis a vis Bidblast: we're going to let the auctions stand, and we'll be making some changes to BB for the next round. There are a couple of good threads in SF if you'd like to weigh in on how we change it.

(Why let the auctions stand? Couple of reasons: a) the "winners" did not do anything wrong or unfairly take advantage of what was really a random happening, and b) outages are a fact of life, whether caused by an errant database server or unexpected asteroid.)

Booty Grab Tweaks
One note: the new mini-form we added for reporting gold grant glitches is meant to be used on the tank that had the issue. (That is, if you were not granted gold by a tank, please use the form that is shown on that particular tank to report the glitch).

From yesterday's results, we tracked down an issue that was causing early players to get a disproportionate amount of glitching, and we've pushed out a fix for that problem.
