Good evening;
Admin changes:Nightingale is removed as an admin from both EU and NA admin teams. I've talked with Nightingale about it, with few other NA and EU admins, and asked a couple players.
After Desire gave me an ultimatum, I could not let them remain. Nightingale isn't banned, and can continue being an item balancer/advisor if they want to.
Kratos is now a trial admin for EU servers.
Rule changes:Following an admin poll that lasted for 10 days and had a short discussion with most of us agreeing, the new rule that cmp added -
NOT OK: Modifying game files to gain undeserved benefits
Will mean specificaly that - modifying items as it's done with the heirloom items, sound mods, custom item skins (changing the texture to fit your personal roleplay) is ok, removing weather effects, removing foliage, making buildings transparent, glowing items - not ok. If you have doubts about your modification being alright, you can always post it to forums and ask for opinions, I believe that most players can differentiate between mods that change the player experience from mods that worsen the player experience so numbers next to their names can be bigger
Common sense and some fairness, please.
Minor announcements:Item shop pictures that are currently missing are
mostly done, expecting an occasion to be added.
You can expect a map rotation change in the nearest future™, better suited to a smaller playerbase, some old maps that are out of rotation could find their way back in.
Personal announcement - I recorded the themed battle (Crusaders vs Jihadists) but it got delayed - I'll post it in the coming days once I'm done editing out the bugged parts of the clips, no idea when I'll finish since Sony Vegas likes to suck enormous dick at random.
