  • August 13th: Why is the game down?!

    Hey guys! Unfortunately, I had to bring the game down 2 days ago. My database started throwing this error: MySqlException: Host ‘xx.xxx.xx.xxx’ is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with ‘mysqladmin flush-hosts’ *The xx.xxx.xx.xxx is actually my IP, but I decided not to include that part.

    Hello all! I apologize for the sporadic blog posts. Family/work consumed most of my December & January, but I’m back at development. I’m hoping to put in a good 60+ hours in February. I’m starting to realize that I work best in bursts. Occasional breaks let me salvage what’s remaining of my work and family…

  • December 17th Balance Pass

    First of all, I apologize – I’ve still yet to publish any patch notes for the recent update. I still plan on putting out a summary of the recent changes. For now, I’d like to put out a quick balance pass. The current talent options are far from being balanced. I believe this will get…
