I'm happy to present this month's State of the Bane update! One initial
note I would like to make is that we are now considering consolidating
the State of the Bane announcement and the "pre-preview" announcement,
and just have an announcement at the beginning of the month stating when
the preview will be. This could be the new format as early as next
month, just a heads up!

Shadowbane's Anniversary
Shadowbane was originally released in March 2003, eight years ago now.
Over the time it was live the game underwent numerous significant
changes, and for better or worse we all came to enjoy it at one time or
another. To commemorate this we intend to have a unique preview for
everyone this month, which will begin on March 25th. This month we really want
to encourage people to PvP in places other than Khan, so expect
something that will facilitate that goal. More details to come!

Development - General
As usual, the developers have been at work on new features, as well as
resolving any bugs. Rich has been working through a bug list generated
from the last preview, which player feedback was important in compiling.
Another ongoing project is the work on the new database structure, as
it is being implemented in stages. Major advancements in terms of new
functionality have been in the areas of mobs and city building, which
are both discussed in greater detail below.

Development - Mobs and AI
The development team has been working on implementing a new system for
managing mobs, as well as refining mob AI. In order to facilitate ease
of use when managing mobs, including their stats, items, and various
spawning characteristics, an application is being developed to make
changes to these attributes much easier. This will allow the team to
quickly make any necessary changes to mobs, and address any bugs more
readily then before.

Work is also being done on general improvements to mob AI and behavior.
This is another ongoing project, and we appreciate any feedback on mob
AI. The behavior of mobs was always something that was previously a
problem, and we aim to provide a better experience in Play to Crush.

Development - City Building
Perhaps the most exciting advancements in development concern laying the
groundwork for city building, one of the central features (if not the central feature)
of Play to Crush! Realm maps have been implemented, which allow the
server to track what realm an individual is in, and is an important
prerequisite for city building. Furthermore, information on height maps,
which determine (among other things) when you enter/exit water, have
been discovered and will be implemented in the near future. This is
another important prerequisite for city building, and once all of the
groundwork is laid work can begin on the core functions of this system.

Developer "Q&A"
Recently there has been renewed discussion on the forums regarding a
developer Q&A of sorts. This was considered as a possibility in the
past, but we decided to table the issue at the time. However, we
recently reconsidered the possibility and have decided that a monthly
Q&A will be held with the devs. Initially we will accept questions
via PM, compile them, and post the ones answered by the devs once per
month. In the future we are considering other possible formats for the
Q&A, such has holding it in the public Ventrilo.

Please submit any questions you would like to ask the developers to me via PM with the following subject line: "DEV Q&A MARCH 2011: "

I will compile a list of the questions throughout the month, and during
the second week of April the answers will be posted publicly. This first
run is going to be a bit of an experiment, so please bear with us as we
get the procedure worked out!

Play to Crush FAQ
We're working on updating the general Play to Crush FAQ
that is available, and would just like to remind everyone of what a
valuable resource this can be for new community members. It addresses a
number of the most frequently asked questions about the project, and
will hopefully help prevent redundant posting. However, if someone does
post a question that is addressed in the FAQ, we ask that you politely
answer their question and direct them to the FAQ.

Co oznacza iż 25 marca mamy server UP... a co oznacza przeorganizowanie się, zainstalowanie Venta, zrobienie kont(zainstalujcie Venta...), no i dogadanie się , zrobimy spece i będziemy latać po różnych lokacjach(GvG no i test PL, i farmienia tez, przy okazji ludziska chcą aby playerzy(czytaj my) walczyli w różnych lokacjach nie w khan...)

apropo najdziwniejsza rzecza jaką widziałem... to był Alinoe jak spadał z nieba konikiem i walił lightingami w doovoo...

Ja tam Venta mam od dawna tylko po formacie straciłem login i hasło do venta DS ale chyba najwyższy czas żebyśmy coś sami z tym zrobili?

Pora się już szykować Tylko ciekawe jak długo ten event będzie trwać.

No dobra to skoro kserg mówi ventrilo to ok bedzie ventrilo tylko czy bedziemy łączyć się pod DS venta czy tworzymy swoje?? coś mi się zdaje że vent nie jest darmowy ale może ktoś miał z nim bliższą styczność?

Pora wziasc cos do pisanie i zapisac w koncu haslo na Vent

Mnie moze nie byc, komp mi wysiadl i nie wiem z ktowrej strony dobrac sie do niego. Podejrzewam ze monitor powodzenia na evencie

Nieeee Furii musisz być!!! nie wiem , pożycz , ukradnij , podłącz pod tv sąsiada ale bądz!!

Jednak nie monitor , wychodzi na to ze plyta poszla Moze zdaze ale nie bede sie zakladac.

Może mevku i masz rację. Tym razem zapiszę o ile do otwarcia eventu bedzie już Vent działał bo jak nie to Skype nam zostanie.

Vent DS działa , dalej mam admina koszt 70 slotów(jaki ma DS) to chyba kolo 25$ miesiecznie.

No to trochę sporo tak jednej osobie płacić miesięcznie za to. To albo robimy zrzutę na konto czyjeś (czytaj Xergiusza) albo szukamy czegoś o mniejszej ilości kapusty.

http://net-speak.pl/index.php nie ma jednak aż takiej tragedii o jakiej pisał xergiuszek. Jak już by się ktoś namyślił zrobić konto to ja mogę za sponsorować kilka miesięcy i kilkanaście slotów. (wiecie mój tato ma komórkę na karciochę i oprócz tego że ją ma to ja z niej czasami korzystam ) Myślę że 20 slotów na 3 miesiące nie zrobiły by nawet najmniejszego problemu. Jak zacznie istnieć gra to wtedy można powiększyć liczbę slotów. Zresztą wierzyć mi się nie chce że mielibyśmy więcej graczy na vencie niż 20 jednorazowo.

Jezeli chcemy miec wlasny vent to ok ja stawiam 40 slotow i 12 miesiecy ! Pasuje wszystkim? Dla naszej calej gildi powinno wystarczyc .
Jesli wszystkim pasuje prosze o potwiedzenie i w najblizszym czasie wplace kase .

...40 zlotow ...to som 10€...a to som dwa paczky papierosuw albo jedna srednia wudka...heh...noto ja stawiam nastempne 12 miesoncze...dajczie adress to przeslem w koperczie kase...
