alacrity has periodic slowness issues due to topwebgames inline advertisment. I resorted to an iframe to fix the issue until they get back to me.

changes

So, help alacrity section is coming to a close.
In order to finish this task, I am going to have to make changes to the game mechanics.
For one, I am going to add a generic feature called 'buffs' . colloquially known as 'perks' on alacrity
perks will be able to be added via bones exchange, or accomplishing specified tasks.
perks will now have a duration. any players with existing, permanent perks shall keep them, provided they have logged into their accounts enough.
secondly, the bones exchange will be converted into a regular store. its not going away quite yet, but will shortly after I finish getting the new site life.
Lastly, I will be constructing an events driven system, so that tasks may be added to the game for rewards
This is all kind of important now, b/c the 'help alacrity section' contains many diverse features.
you can hop on over to test and click on 'help alacrity' to see these changes. so far, looking great!

So, yet more unwinding of the giant ball of yarn that is alacrity..
not a day goes by without another disaster uncovered.
alacrity was originally designed on php 5. database interfaces back end are no compatible with later version of php.
furthermore , there are fairly substantial changes in the newer versions.
This means I have to go through and recode EVERYTHING.
Thats the bad news
--------------------
The good news.
I've migrated the test server over to a new system. the php is upgraded, the server is upgraded. and its mostly working (I was writing in php 5 to be backwards compatible, so I had to upgrade my own code as well!)
more good news. the shop system is 50% redesigned. I've redone the backend (finished!). and the front end is well underway.
Using the new shop system, I can finish both the monthly shop AND the main shops.
Inventory is also 50% redone.
item management is nearly 100% redone on the backend.
I would have made it further this week, but unfortunately installing and configuring a new server , then cutting over the pages to work was no simple task.
Now that its all done I am back on track!
