Happy Halloween!
The game has been moved to the new server, please report any issues that you encounter. Since we’re in uncharted territory, please be patient and understanding if we have to shift gears and migrate back to the old server temporarily. If we do have to migrate back, that would mean going back to an older player / rent files, which were last used this morning.
The new server is an Intel Core2 Quad Processor with 4GB of memory. Thanks again to all who donated.

QUEST: Lock, Shock, and Barrel are up to their old antics again and have hidden mysterious black boxes throughout the land. Each box contains a trick or a treat. Some of the treats include the infamous jewel encrusted jack-o-lanterns. Collect them for a chance to win a ghoulish Halloween prize. Each jewel encrusted jack-o-lantern is worth 1 entry into a drawing in which 3 lucky winners will be selected. Be warned that Oogie Boogie’s Boys have planted some fiendish tricks inside the boxes too!
E-mail the Dark-One the location of your jack-o-lanterns by Sunday, November 2nd at 1800 Arizona time. Good luck and Happy Haunting!

First off, thank you to those who continue to donate.
Next, I’m still working on getting the game running on the new hardware. There are some major differences in the newer versions of gcc and glibc that are conflicting with the tdome code base. Bare with me while I fix things up. Rest assured that the new hardware will really improve the in game responsiveness too.
