<title><![CDATA[Largest patch to The Lost Runes Reborn coming on March 5th]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[March 5th will see the largest patch to The Lost Runes Reborn.
</p>
<p>
Here is a sneak peak at the patch notes.
</p>
<p>
- The level cap for the Clan Armory building has been raised to 35.
- New bot check added. The bot check asks you to locate a code and enter it in a box. Very simple. On with your adventure.
- You may receive PMs from time to time (this is seperate to the above). Please respond to these if you can. Failure to respond to too many and you may take a trip to the Pit of Doom.
- Added a daily leaderboard for Tradeskill attempts. Platinum will be dished out to those who place in the top 30 just like the other dailies. Please refresh if you cannot see the new leaderboard.
- A new leaderboard has been added for Clan Weekly Kills (Rankings->Clans->Top Weekly Kills). The leaderboard is simply there for bragging rights at the moment but I will be adding in rewards for the top clans in due course. Hopefully this will add a layer of competition between the clans in TLR. Kill counts are updated at 30 minutes past the hour.
- This one is dedicated to all of the tradeskillers out there. A &#8220;Repeat Tradeskill&#8221; option has been added.
- When you send a PM to someone their name is now hyperlinked. Yay!
- Three filters have been added to your log (yes, I know there are others - I will add these as I find them). By default PMs are shown when you first visit your log. Again, hit refresh if I have broke your interweb.
- A Diamond Market has been added. If you are having any trouble using this market, please refresh.
- If you visit the Manage Totems section of your Land you will notice that you can purchase a rather useless Minor Totem - it's free to add to your land, free to activate and gives you a VERY small boost in health (in fact, most of you may not even notice it). The idea of this totem is to give you an idea on on how totems will work initially. Currently totems will only modify the land owner's attributes. Eventually they will affect all players sitting on that pieces of land.
</p>
<p>
Your totems can be activated once per day for a maximum of one hour. All totems are deactivated at the top of the hour so it is best to activate your totems just after the hour has passed.

<title><![CDATA[Brand New Game]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[From the creator of the popular Criminals In Action, comes a brand new game. 
</p>
<p>
When threats against America reach an all time high leaving all branches of the military over-tasked, the United States government is forced to recruit a clan of hillbillies to conduct a series of black ops assignments. But these aren't your everyday, garden variety rednecks, they have experience in war.
</p>
<p>
Whether it's an argument over the neighbor's trailer being parked too close to theirs or a custody dispute after the hog from down the road breaks into the barn and knocks up their prize-winning swine, these are some battle hardened hillbillies. With their huge cache of hillbilly grade weaponry and unparalleled wits they are more than prepared to carry out their duty to protect their country.
</p>
<p>
Surprised at the enormous success of Operation Moonshine, the government begins recruiting other clans to join the fight. Had they attended more hillbilly family reunions or spent any time in a trailer park they would have known better. When you put too many hillbillies together like that tempers will flare. Some clans abandon their missions and declare war on others. In all the chaos it's hard to know the real enemy from those who are supposed to be helping you.
</p>
<p>
You have a choice. Do you continue battling rival clans to protect your family's honor? Or do you put all that petty squabbling aside, load up the shotguns, pack up the pickup, and take this fight to the enemy? The safety of your fellow Americans is in your hands. Good luck, soldier.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Beta Release & Updates]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Criminal Connection was launched in Beta version on 19th April 2013. The first 10 days brought 52 registered accounts, which is quite nice result, considering we only promote through word of mouth and game directories.
</p>
<p>
Every day we are trying to add some new game updates, as well as fix minor bugs and errors in the code.
</p>
<p>
The Beta game was released with several game options, such as: 
- buying and upgrading cars
- illegal street racing
- car tournaments
- attacking other players
- buying and equipping weapons & armour
- committing crimes
- going to jail for several minutes/hours
- health care unit with monthly insurance plan
- game forum
- game chatbox
- Horse Race betting
- Bank loans and deposits
- Setting up your own custom named business 
- Buying one of 15 Real Estate
- Getting a job for a fixed daily income with 30 progressive working levels and over 75 job titles within 7 different career paths
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Since the game Beta release, we have also added:
- Hall of Fame with over 19 different ranking categories for top players
- Online Players list
- Bribery Cards to leave jail instantly
- Game Management list with fictional biographies of our 70+ game bots
- Referral system with prizes and referral link
- Voting Sites with direct small incentive for voting
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Things are looking great for us and we have a full plan of new updates written. By the end of June we hope to release the Alpha version of the game. Don't hesitate to join us know so you can see how the game environment and economy work - this will give you a great heads up start for Alpha version.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Updates]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[A fair few updates this past week.
1. A brand new mailbox
2. An entirely new features - properties and rent
3. Interchangeable menu switch
4. Academy
5. Minor updates to other features around the game.
</p>
<p>
1. A brand new mailbox:
I felt that the old mailbox was clogged up and showed way too much at once for any normal person to make heads or tails of, so I've redesigned it.
You send and receive mail the same way, but the way you view it has changed.
When you've received a message, it'll show who sent the message, when it was sent, a subject (if there is one), and options to read/delete it.
Click on &#8220;Read&#8221; and you get a nice, clean interface in which to view your message.
One at a time, much cleaner and easier to understand, I feel.
</p>
<p>
2. Properties and rent
This is quite a big feature, so I won't take too much of your time and just outline the basic jist of it.
I've played text based games for years and haven't managed to find a fully working &#8220;properties and rent&#8221; feature completely playable. So, in a show of my coding prowess (lol), I thought I'd write one up so I could actually enjoy playing with that part of the game.
So! You could always buy your own house, live in it, and receive the benefits (higher gym gains, easier crimes, etc.), but now you can buy properties and put them up for rent!
Including a pretty powerful &#8220;Property Management&#8221; panel, you can now be a landlord, earn honest money from others players, and benefit them whilst they benefit you!
</p>
<p>
3. Interchangeable menu switch
That sounds a lot fancier than it is, but I found it's a valuable feature to have.
I wanted to play around with the style of the game, more precisely; move the menu. So I did, and then thought to myself: &#8220;Not all players will like this&#8221;. I can fully relate to that being &#8220;set in my ways&#8221;, so I wrote up the ability for players to change which side the menu appears on (left or right) with the click of a button in their personal settings.
Simple, yet effective.
</p>
<p>
4. Academy
A brand new system designed to really put you through your paces if you wish to gain the benefits of completing a course. It's no longer automated; you have to study yourself before you can complete the course.
You are also able, should you wish, to retake the course at any time (once complete)
</p>
<p>
5. Minor updates to other features around the game
    5a. There's a pretty long list to this, so I'll keep it short(ish).
The Job Ranks now display in a colour-coded format. If you have enough of x stat to get the promotion, it'll turn green. Otherwise, it'll be red. If you meet all requirements for the promotion, it'll tell you that there's a promotion available underneath each rank you qualify for.
	5b. The crimes now give you a general idea of how hard the crime will be to commit. It now also shows you the range of rewards and randomizes your time spent in jail if you fail and get caught.
	5c. The gym will automatically select your lowest stat for you to train. If any of your stats are equal to each other, then you make your own selection. Obviously, you can select which stat to train yourself.
	5d. You can now heal other players whilst they're in hospital using your health restoratives (medipacks, health potions, etc.)
	5e. You can now attempt to break yourself out of jail.
	5f. The newspaper now has multiple pages, to give it the feel of a real newspaper
	5g. The &#8220;stat bars&#8221; now change colour depending on how full they are. Ranging from red, yellow, green and blue.
	5h. Player profiles have had a massive revamp.
	5i. You can now comment on a player's profile. Players can also switch off the ability for other players to comment of their profile.
	5j. You can now subscribe/unsubscribe to forum topics
	5k. A &#8220;Suggestion Box&#8221; has been added. Players can now suggest new features/updates to existing features/removal of a feature/new interface features, etc.
	5l. A lot of places where players can type are now BBCode enabled; forums, mail, the chat, announcements (for staff), gang descriptions, etc.
	5m. Players can now see a list of their last 50 incoming and outgoing attacks
</p>
<p>
There is plenty more to come in the next few months]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Rocking Soccer is now starting on it's second season. We have received a lot of positive feedback during the first season. By now we have grown to a couple of thousand active players and translated the game to 8 new languages.
</p>
<p>
