News Archive: Week 35, 2006



Ghostlies and Hipposaru now come in Spectrum! Well. Either that, or someone left a few buckets of paint unattended. Maybe it was this little guy?



He does have a mischevious (and mop-like) look to him...



Three brand new avatars for you to search for!

Also, three new emoticons have been spotted, see if you can figure out how to use them!
🍪 :blob: 🦋

A new Minion has found her way into the Ticket Shop (P.S. Don't worry, she's far too dignified to get into the flinging exploits generally associated with her kind! XD)

The Book Nook has gotten in some new arrivals, including a couple for Feli lovers!



Three more avatar re-draws!
(The defense avatar is now get-able again)

THINK... PINK!



Three new festively pink Minions have found (or galloped) their way into the Minions Market




Oh my. It seems as though some bounty hunters have been leaving some Hydrus pets without bony protrusions lately. I wonder how they are able to remove them so easily and why they've dumped them aside?


Regardless of this terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE occurrence, the Weapons Warehouse has picked them up and is now stocking the following:



Naturally, Defend and Conquer have also stepped up and are now supplying some fancy Hydrus handiness:



Let's hope no pets were harmed in the process of this news post.

I have gone through the bug reporting system recently, and I notice that some people confirm bugs without even verifying them.

If you don't verify a bug, it makes more work for the people doing the fixing, and its frustrating to go through bug reports and have to delete five or six just from grazing though because you know they aren't bugs just by reading the title. Also I find duplicate bug reports confirmed sometimes.

Here is the proper way to confirm a bug:

First, you look at unconfirmed bugs, you click one. You read through the description, and attempt to duplicate the bug. If your duplication fails, then dependant on your opinion, you reject it for either insufficiant information, or it not being a bug. If its already reported, then reject it for that.

I just don't like clearing out three battle coliseum bugs that are basically the same. I know that it isn't working properly. So, don't clear out bugs unless you are going to do it right. I don't care if you leave one unconfirmed because you are unsure of it, just don't confirm one that is invalid, its a waste of time.

Okay, that is the end of my rant. I am not angry at anyone, nor cal I tell who did it anyways. I just want to get the point across that you aren't actually helping by confirming bugs unless you can replicate the bug.

Oh yeah and priority:

High -> Problems with items being given/taken, sp being given/taken. Also any PHP or MySQL errors go here.

Med -> stats given wrong, items not working properly, mails not being sent. Things that are not critical basically. Only bugs that need to be fixed immediately should show up in the high ranking category. Bug that only mildly affect game play should be in this category

Low -> Everything that isn't really that important, like being unable to delete journol comments or something like that can go here.

Three more of the forum avatars have been redone :)
