Exams are over, back to work
Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2014 1:25 am
Now that my exams are over, I'll be working once again on PkHonor a lot for the next few weeks. Some of the things I'll be working on:
-> Redoing the help system:
-> Fixing the random disconnect issues that appear to happen once or twice a day
-> Making sure the server never goes down anymore
-> Adding pets and pet shops
-> Adding an additional (small) quest
-> Continuing my work on the new Staff Control Panel with added features
-> The ability for all staff members to grant refunds (but multiple staff members will need to approve of a refund)
-> Adding an automatic donation refund system
-> Adding a system that automatically takes items from a player's account incase its owner issues a chargeback on a donation. If no items are present to cover the chargeback, the account will automatically be banned. An IP-ban will be put in place if the amount of the chargeback is 100$ more than the value of the account.
-> Continuing to rebalance the combat system
Most of these are in preparation of my internship, where I'll need to work 8 hours a day for three months, while also working on my thesis. This means I won't have much time to work on PkHonor between 17 February and the end of May. If I can manage to do most of the above, then PkHonor should be able to run pretty much on its own with very little interaction from myself or Rapsey.
I will still be working on PkHonor during those months, but less than you're used to. I aim for one update every two weeks during this period.
