Gang Invites and Repeat Crimes
- byPrev on16th August, 2009 inGeneral
-
A couple of additions to notify you of... the first you will have almost certainly have seen already.. repeat crimes. When you commit a crime, a button will appear if you succeed or fail allowing you to repeat that crime again. If you get caught, you go to jail so will of course not see the button ;)
Gang Invites: I have opened up the gang invites a little this afternoon, so now gang leaders, and also the underboss rank now have the ability to send invites.
There appears to be a couple of gang leaders mia, I am assuming they are on holiday, being that time of year, so opening up the invites should stimulate the gangs again.. if your leader does not login to the game for at least 1 month, and you would like the leader changed, please contact me.

Hooker Activation
- byPrev on18th June, 2009 inGeneral
-
I have added a small change to the game today that will assist players that are going on holiday, though I am not sure how well the rest of you will like it.
As I had planned from the start, hookers will need to be activated each day before they will start work and earn money. They can be activated from anywhere, and will all be done at once, so it is one single button press to get them started, but unless you log in and activate them, they will earn no money.
Bear in mind, that even if your hookers do not work, you are still charged rent for the brothel. The rent will depend on the level of the brothel, but can get quite high ;)
(I am happy to add an option for you to cancel the brothel, but this will remove all progress, and you will have to start again with upgrades.)

I have just added a daily check to the game to expire items that are listed on the item market.
The check will run daily and expire any items that have been listed for 14 days and not sold. Items will be returned to the person that listed them.

Hookers - LIVE (phase one)
- byPrev on2nd June, 2009 inGeneral
-
Hookers have arrived.
Stage one of hookers is now live on the server. There are still a few small tweaks that need to be made, but the core functionality is there for you to play with, and comment on.
Firstly, you need facilities to manage the hookers. You can own 1 brothel in each city (that you have access to of course) and each of these “brothels” can be upgraded to level 5. I won’t spoil things by telling you what the upgrade criteria are, I will let you find that out for yourselves :p You WILL need to be at least level 10, and have a bank account to operate the hookers.
You can have one hooker per level in each brothel, so a level 3 brothel can have 3 hookers, level 5 is 5 hookers... you get the idea ;)
There is a daily rental for the brothels, increasing with level. This will be deducted from your bank account each day on rollover, so make sure you keep sufficient funds in your account !!
Hookers are available for work 24 hours a day, but they are only actually allowed to do 12 hours paid work. They are not guaranteed work each and every hour though.. so keep an eye on them ;)
The earnings from the hookers will be stored in the brothel. You must go to the brothel to collect your earnings, and make sure you collect regularly, as you never know when a gang of heavies might bust in and steal it :p
All other functions of the brothel management can be carried out anywhere. If a hooker gets sick, you can call in a doctor (though no guarantees that a back street doc will do what you need)
There are still a few features that need to be added, but ones that I decided were not mission critical, so I will add those during the course of the coming week.
If you have any suggestions on additions, or modifications that you would like to see, please post them in this thread.

Internet Explorer Issues
- byPrev on2nd May, 2009 inGeneral
-
Some of you using Internet Explorer 7 have likely been experiencing an issue where an error appears stating that Internet Explorer cannot open the site (then gives a blank page)
This is related to the dynamic updates in the game and I have been looking for a solution. Unfortunately, Microsoft themselves state to fix the issue, users should upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 (suggesting categorically that they are not prepared to fix this "bug")
Personally, I would recommend all users that are able should switch to either Google Chrome or Firefox Both are free, and I think you will all find that they are FAR superior to IE.
Support for Internet Explorer has always been awkward, and with an attitude like this, Microsoft are making it harder still to create websites of any description that will work within their framework.

Vehicular Crimes Hit the Streets !
- byPrev on28th April, 2009 inGeneral
-
Some of the more observant of you may have noticed that today a few lines have appeared in the activity ticker with a mention of Vehicular Crime.
Well, wonder no longer. Vehicular Crime has arrived, and is active. If you have a car, and it is active (cars must be set active before use for travel and for crimes) then you will see a new list growing at the bottom of your crime screen.
There is currently only one crime listed there, but more will be added over the next couple of days, as suggestions are already building in the forum.
If you have an idea for a vehicular crime, or for a regular crime, get on over to the forum and suggest it. Those that are used* in the game will win a one month PA
I will also be launching a new prize giveaway today.. random prizes will be randomly awarded by me to active players in the chat room, so for your chance to win, click the chat link now, and come say Hi! :)
(*only one PA per player)

Crimes Spread Through the Cities
- byPrev on21st April, 2009 inGeneral
-
Those of you that have been committing crimes this evening will have no doubt spotted a small change that has been introduced to the crimes list.. a City Column.
The crimes have been spread out through the cities to encourage players to spread out a little and move up through the cities rather than all sit in Crestburgh (I know, the bar is good there, but it's getting tight for space, and you all keep drinking my 12 yr old malt :p)
I may well tweak the crimes/cities over the coming days, and as more crimes are added, the current spread has been plucked out of the air to a certain extent.
Comments are welcome, as always :)

Revenge Attacks are Upon Us !!!
- byPrev on21st April, 2009 inGeneral
-
Those of you that are in a gang, will no doubt be familiar with the defense log, a listing of all attacks that have taken place on your gang members. You could look through the list then try to find a gang member with the skills (and within the level limits) to exact revenge.
A new addition earlier this evening (that some of you may have already noticed) gives ALL gang members the chance to avenge the attack on their buddy. The gang gets ONE shot at revenge.. if it fails you lose the chance, so make sure the person who hits the button has the right skills!
Revenge differs slightly to regular attacks as there is no level locks on a revenge attack. (i.e A level 40 gang member can avenge a level 10 gang member.)
I have also slightly altered the XP rewarded for a successful attack, which I will be monitoring over the next day or two in case it needs more tweaking.
Enjoy the addition, any issues please bug report them... and... let the streets run red !!!!

Daily Play to Win Competition is Active!
- byPrev on18th April, 2009 inGeneral
-
I have today added the daily play to win competition to the game.
Each day at reset (00:00 server time) a winner will be chosen at random to win the daily prize, which is a 2 day PA, and 25 Points.
There are a couple of small criteria to meet in order to win, so logging in and out once a day will not qualify you.
A Small Ad will be generated each day displaying the name of the winner for all to see.
I will watch the process over the next few days and see how it goes. Good Luck to you all !!
