Hey guys,
Today's update is all about the client and its version. As some of you may have already noticed, your client is re-downloading all game files. I've made changes to many models and decided it would be good to apply those changes by clearing all game files. That ensures that everybody is on one version and old/messy code was removed.
The new system downloads and loads models in-game much faster, so you won't have to wait hours until maps load, it will be instant. If you have problems with loading the game, please make a bug report or use the helpdesk. I'll personally answer all technical problems.
As some of you probably also already noticed, model textures are enabled by default. The system is highly optimized and you'll hardly feel any performance difference if textures are enabled or not. Textures give the game a much better look, so I'd like to have them enabled for everyone. If you don't like them however, you're always free to disable them via your game settings. Included in this texture update is also the firecape. I've spent a lot of time on making it appear perfectly. The firecape now has seamless texture movement and is properly attached to both male and female characters. Hope you enjoy.
The Grand Exchange is also coming along nicely. With this update I'm implementing a price evaluation system, which monitors item prices. In the very end, the system is going to be an alternative to the price list, which will always be accurate based on the past item transactions. We'll be testing the price evaluator in the live game this weekend. I think that the Grand Exchange can by ready by next week, if the tests go well. The tests will be done within the staff team, so I'm sorry, but some of you cannot test the new system. I know you want to test the Grand Exchange, but it may contain game breaking bugs, which I don't want to be exposed publicly.
P.S. Don't forget to like our facebook post to get double experiences this weekend. You can find the post on our Facebook page:
