Would just like to go into a bit more detail on a few points here, since people are obviously not quite understanding the changes over the past few weeks. Every release done cannot always be focused towards the front end things, graphics, missions among other things. Sometimes time has to be used on the back-end things to make sure that future front-end projects all go fine. Some of the back-end things also majorly benefit you guys in multiple ways, whether you understand that or not.
Now for the past five months there have been continual complaints about the in-game reporting system, how people got auto-muted and how the system was pretty bad. If you wanted real action taken, you would have to take a screenshot, upload it, find The Lawman on the forums and send a PM explaining it all - the process was very tiring, both for us to deal with and you to report it. So we felt it was about time we sorted all of that out and renovated the whole in-game system. Though it may not sound like a big change and you think we have not done anything because you do not see any/much change - that is a good thing, since it means everything is working how it should!
The new changes means that all reports are no longer dealt with automatically by the server, resulting in multiple mistakes. Nor will any SS'ing to report via forums be needed, because now, all reports will be dealt with by the Moderation team. This means that every single report sent in will be dealt with in a consistent manner and will be dealt with in a way that the player in question actually deserves. Though you guys see no difference on the front-side, some huge changes have been made on our end and it makes things much easier for both us and you. It will also contribute towards making EpicDuel a much safer game.
So if you were taking all the bad language and rule-breaking previously, because the process was tireless, now all you have to do is click a few times and type a little! This was a major change, giving a system that has been around for such a long time a much needed overhaul. Though it may not effect you now, in terms of, you do not get your items, or fancy graphics, in the long run, it will help a lot for the safety of the game and for your enjoyment. This is why the last few weeks have been so busy, and now the Development team have time to focus on content a bit more, as shown in these Design Notes - though you have to realise, as with normal releases, back-end releases still require touching up, even after initial release, hence why Titan and Rabble are still so busy with everything! Just be patient and realise, even if there is nothing you can see or do that is new, does not mean that there are not major improvements being implemented in the game!
