A new era for cRPG
« on: April 01, 2013, 11:51:05 pm »
After much deliberation, the devs have decided that it's time to usher in a new era for cRPG. As the original cRPG devs are busy with another project, they have handed leadership over to a new set of devs led by Tydeus.

On April 5, 2013, cRPG will experience a database wipe- due to an overhaul on the game system.

New features:
- personal XP caps determined by time between playing sessions
- destructable scene objects in battle
- all new animations
- improved hitboxes
- multi-directional stabs for spears and other polearms
- stirrup mode for mounted ranged characters
- capture the flag will be replacing Battle mode
- a new item system. Every death with an item leads to the loss of that item.
- lootable armor
- duel/Strategus will turn into a persistent 'tavern town' server
- alternate modes of warfare and economic competition introduced to Strategus
- a Strategus app for iOS and Android platforms

No no, Kalam did a good job. It's April, and he's a fool alright.

But some other are complete utter bullshit (item loss upon death being the most obvious one)

The strange thing is, I would have no problem with any of these changes.
"As you gaze upon the cross, and long for conformity to him, be not weary or fearful because you cannot express in words what you seek. Ask him to plant the cross in your heart. Believe in him, the crucified and now living one, to dwell within you, and breathe his own mind there."
