TGIF! Here’s your development news round-up for the past week! Player Bans June 5 - July 11 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. KPs2: 2 The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us. If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. New Limited Items! A new week means new Limited Items! Here’s what’s up for grabs: New Floating City Co-op Boss: The Pirate King! The Pirate King has mastered the high seas with both bloody sword and devilish charm, forging the anarchistic cutthroats of the South Pacific into a ruthless and loyal armada. His domination of the most wealthy trade routes is legendary. Do you have what it takes to knock him from his throne? New Floating City Co-op Boss: The Pirate King! Floating City minigame also available. New Elite/Legendary Crafting Items! The wait is finally over: we’ve begun rolling out Elite/Legendary items for the highest level Location Boss Drops. We’re releasing them in batches, so here is what you can craft in this week’s release! Magma Mountain - The Screwjack Return to Lost World - Drakannon Small Changes to the Armada Wars Lobby and Leaderboard A couple small tweaks to make you guys aware of this week about the Armada Wars. First, we are now showing full Armada names where possible on the Leaderboard. If the name is still too long, hover over the name you want to see a tooltip with the full Armada name. The second change is that when you are registered for a War but it hasn’t begun yet, you can check to see who has and hasn’t registered in your Armada by clicking on Members under Your Details. Both of these are community requested ideas. See the original thread here. New Canned Player to Player Message Options! The developers recently added some more canned message options that you can send to players who aren’t part of your Clan. Check them out below: Answers: 'Sorry, my Armada is full.' Responses: 'My Armada members offer a truce.' 'What's the matter, can’t fight your own battles?' 'Would you like some cheese with your whine?’ 'Hug?' 'Next time you better bring some REAL help!' Support Report with your favorite burrowing nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark! Happy weekend, players! Nothing earth-shattering to report for me this week. I cleaned up the whiteboard in the office and made space for new "Do Not Google" list for the creative team, who will often browse Google image search when looking for references or inspiration. You'd be amazed at some of the things they stumble across when entering seemingly harmless search terms. The previous list was about 3 feet long. I've had a few questions about Bounty/Hitlist earning lately, so a quick reminder for everyone: when you list someone, a slice of the coins you pay is taken by the Bounty Master as a fee. This means that the Reward the person who makes the kill earns is slightly less than the amount the lister paid. The reward amount is the one that gets posted to the Bounty page and feeds, since that is what most players are interested in. This means that it's possible for the Bounty Reward on a listed player to be lower than the Base Bounty Price shown on their character's profile page. Cheers, Aardvark who can't recall ever meeting anyone who actually likes sardines on pizza Terrible Joke of the Week Here's your lame joke of the week! How did the pickle taste? Spoiler Dill-icious! Reveal for hilarity! That's it for TGIF this week, everybody! Thanks for reading, and have an excellent weekend! Play Now!
