Update: Legend of Zebulon v3.0 Snapshot 14810a

               Due to a sudden change of events, this snapshot cannot be posted on the 10th. While coding, the game crashed, and it cleared out the whole map. EasyGamer made us a plugin that saved the game every minute, and it somehow didn't save. We had it saved on a USB but the USB was plugged in when it happened, and it somehow cleared that too. I took vacation from my job this whole week to help recode everything that was erased, but we aren't even halfway there. Unfortunately, both EasyGamer and Sensei are on vacation(Our two best coders).

                If you were wondering why the forums went up at 7am on August 1st and then went down again, we don't know why. Sensei and EasyGamer weren't there to fix it because they are on vacation. They will be back this Monday to help us with everything. But the rest of the staff have been working overtime to help fix the game(we aren't worrying about the forums as of now because the game is way more important). I have been working with 2 hours of sleep non-stop(besides now) on the game so I didn't have to disappoint you guys, the fans. I am very sorry for all of this. I can't release a date for when this snapshot will be ready but I will be working my hardest for you guys.

Edit: Since the forums are going to be down for awhile, we're going to add new emoticons and maybe a new theme and avatars, stay tuned.

Forums Info

         As you probably already know, the forums aren't working. We don't know what caused them to crash and stop working yet but we are working on it as fast as we can. We actually didn't know until NerdyBlitz(Coder for our forums) contacted us and told us. He gets automatic emails if the forums are ever down, even for a split second. He couldn't even login to the admin cp because his password had been changed, so Sensei had to change it back to his original pass and they are both now working on the forums to find out what happened.  That's all I know currently, but I will keep you all updated.

EDIT: Problem found, one of the old plugins did not work with the new forum update, NerdyBlitz and Sensei are going to work on the code to make it so the plugin works again. 

Sorry for closing comments but I have to review them before they are posted and there was around 50 and I'm at work. Updates soon.

UPDATE #2(2:40PM EST 8/1/14): Forums will open back up in around 45 minutes, sorry everyone. D:

UPDATE #3(3:09PM EST 8/1/14): Forums won't be back up until tomorrow, the staff only worked until 3:00PM and couldn't fix it in time, sorry. We will give you guys something special when they are open tomorrow.
