EXCELSIOR DAILY

Stronger wooden box raffle was just fixed. Although it was set with a 3-day (72 hour) interval, i forgot to enable the auto-restock feature and so the raffle was blank for the last 5 days.

It's now set with a 48 hour (2 day) interval which means there should be another 9 of these raffled off, making that 10 total (with the one raffled on the 12th of december).

Some administrative news:

- Website downtime on Saturday morning shard time, looks like it was fixed soon after I left. Those who couldn't vote, unfortunately nothing can be done about it. But if you are aiming at the consecutive-voting-days achievements, don't worry, an anti-achievement-reset configuration was added so that missing that day won't get your achievement reset.

- Forum spammers, something about a crypto pump. I wanted to remedy that by changing our forum signup "password" which is something anyone who plays here would know. However, the spammers are using existing accounts of actual legit players, probably abusing a leaked database of username-password pairs. And just trying their best all over the internet, spamming their crypto scam thing, of the probably million tries per day they make, they probably succeed in posting a few posts on various forums with various accounts. I'll see how I can tackle that, when this started there were 2 spam not far apart, then nothing for a while and I thought we're already past this, but this might go on for a while.

- I fell ill on Tuesday, I'm quite ok now. A little behind on things, but I'll get in sync.

It's now possible to change your forum username, to match the name of your in-game character (the name for which you are known for).

The next IDOC event is scheduled for April 15th, 23:00 shard time.

I have just sent out emails to all inactive players with a house who have entered their address into the [account menu. Btw, I was initially planning for the IDOC to be on Aprril 1st but after a few days went by, it was already too late to send out the emails, wanted to give a bit more advance notice.

For those who are searching for houses with "In danger of collapse" status, keep in mind that many of the houses that right now still show as "Greatly worn" will turn into "In danger of collapse" 10 days from now, so on April 5th late in the evening.

Just a note on "Poor man's 1k refund" item that was sold as a poor-man's-item at the auction in February 2022, I wanted to take those back and refund the 1k, but well so much time has passed and probably some of these items were already traded forward, so I'll just leave them in. There are 64 of them out there.
