Mining Design

The new version of Stellar Fortune is moving along nicely.  Players can now buy from one dock and sell at another.  There is also now a way to view prices without being docked, which certainly helps when you want to trade.  Over the past few days I have been working on a new feature for the game, Mining.

LoyalPet

Recently, I noticed that a WAR add-on, LoyalPet, was no longer available on Curse.  I'm not sure why it was taken down, but it is gone.  Since this is a valuable tool to the pet community, I've placed the copy I have up on the Arsenal of WAR.  You can find it here:

http://www.arsenalofwar.com/images/LoyalPet.zip

It's the copy I had, so I'm not sure if it was the latest available.

EDIT:  It is actually available on Curse, but buried: http://war.curseforge.com/addons/lpet/

Thanks Varonth!

Lord of the Rings Slot Machine

I have returned from my mini-vacation, which explains the lack of post yesterday.  It was fun, except for me underestimating the power of the sun even with an umbrella.  One night, we hit up a casino.  I'm not a big gambler, but I try and get my monies worth out of the place.  While walking the aisles, I cam across a Lord of the Rings slot machine.

The highlight of Warhammer Online's 1.4.5 (1.4.3 is current)  patch will be the return of Fortresses to the game.  They were removed a while ago for a number of reasons.  Performance and just not being fun were the two main ones.  Players have long wished for fights to return to these epic locations, and they soon will.
