Now that is all changes for age 33, I might have missed to add some layout fixes but other then that, thats all. Biggest change tho is behind the scene where Max our coder has recoded and sorted most of the code, basicly its close to a new game;)

With the annoucement of this list Id like to thank the development group behind this thats been known under the name “Ab hinc” which is latin meaning “From here on”. These are the members:

• Atan Asfaloth
• Bolle
• ENDer
• Joe
• Max
• Ozzie
• taNk
• Vo Child
• Voodoo Cowboy
• VorteX
• Wheelie

Now there is quite a few more then just these people that has helped out and have signed up to helping out in the future. Thank you all, its cause of dedicated players like you that keep this game going!

Back to buisness, the Classic game server has been moved and are now found on game.orkfia-portal.com, the reason behind this url will come in the next article or so here.

We have covered alot of fixing and alot of changes, we had so many of them we had to save a few until age 34 and as a first tiny tiny sneak peek for age 34 Id like to mention Classes and that Priests will take upon themselves a larger role, what this means you’ll have to find out;)

So registration is open and there is a unpaused game with a unlimited updatebutton there so join up and check the new Orkfia Classic out.

Note: We are still correcting some layout stuff so if you come across something you dont thing should be there then please post about them in the announcments bug thread. The guide is also being worked upon as we speak (Im working on a new layout) and it will be ready within 24-48hours.

Cheers
