***UPDATE: We've modified the /me function to make it more like what the players want (i.e., no repeated username, bolded message), thanks for your comments on this one everybody***

We've updated the chat with the much requested /me function. Not much to say except go have fun with it.

Enjoy.

Dear Devs,

Thanks so much for cleaning me out today. I try to do my best allocating adequate swap space so that your awesome players can play your awesome game, but today I just couldn't handle the load anymore. Luckily you guys were there for me and helped me to free the space I needed to be strong for all of us.

I'm so sorry the game had to go down. Please forgive me. I know this isn't what anyone wanted, but I just didn't know what else to do.

Love always,
The HW Hard Drive

***UPDATE : The chat maintenance is now complete, and things are back to normal with one important difference : mods can now mute players who choose to spam up the chat. Use this power wisely mods...***

Hello HackWarriors - we're going to begin making some updates to the chat server, so expect some intermittent chat outages until we get them done. The game server should be unaffected by this, so play should be able to continue as normal.

We'll post again when things are back to normal.

Greetings HackWarriors,

We are having some unexpected problems making our jar (so many classes...shudder), so our attempt to update the chat did not go as smoothly as planned. We're trying to resolve the problem, but we put the game back up and things seem to be working properly again.

Sorry for the interruption in service.

Today (April 22) around 5 pm Eastern, we had a less-than-planned interruption due to lag reasons. We've restarted the game server and things seem to be running smoothly now...we apologize for any interruption in gameplay this might have caused.
