A preliminary Terms of Service (ToS) for Alpha-Fox services and the Alteran Stargate Network. It mentions that updates to the ToS will be made in the coming days with more defining terms. Staff members are encouraged to check for updates, which will be posted in the news as they occur.
Alpha-Fox is experimenting over the next few weeks with using Twitter, a popular short-messaging service, to post brief daily updates about ongoing activities, instead of relying solely on detailed news posts. They encourage users to follow along and provide feedback about this new approach.
There was an extended power outage at Subnova Core, causing all services to be down for about an hour while systems were recovered remotely. Subnova Core lacks an emergency power generator, making it vulnerable to outages longer than 20 minutes. All systems are back online, but users of crazyLabs Teleporter systems will need to manually reset scripts due to a change in response codes causing crashes when the backend server is unavailable.
Version 1.1.3 of the Alteran Stargates has been released to fix a bug that caused a significant load on Chimera. Due to the impact on the server, this update is now required. Users are urged to update their gates as soon as possible to help alleviate the strain on the server.
Live Chat is now available through the Subnova IRC Network, allowing users to ask questions even when staff are not in-world. To use this feature, simply visit the Live Chat page (after logging in) on the Alpha-Fox website.
