RPG Version 2 is here! You can begin playing by clicking here. This massive project has taken a ton of time and dedication from a lot of staff members. I hope you'll enjoy it and have fun exploring all the new areas. Your adventure begins in BeeGin Village ~ Good luck Ichuans! The newest features include a brand new interface, RPG battle now in AJAX, streaming music to maps and battles and Elite Quests. There are two new Battle Skills, Ichies and Ultimates can now be used in battle, Weapon Upgrades via Spheres and we have a nice new chat system. We'll be working on bugs/glitches that appear all through the night so if you find any, post them on the Bugs&Glitches forum. Guardians Of Ichua has also been released with the RPG Version 2. Each user starts on Mission #1, and you will have to hunt down rare monsters in certain maps. Beating them will get you a nice shiny trophy on your User Lookup. Premium users can view all the maps in the Premium Database. Note: They'll be no Battle Royale tomorrow.

Because someone stayed up last night ... the patch will now conclude at 4:00 PM IST. Sorry about that =(

~ Posted by Ole on 2009-05-03 17:08:15

The RPG Patch V2.01 has been completed. The following updates have been implemented: When you fail an elite quest, it now tells you which user did and what they did wrong. All members in the party can now see the Elite Status message. Party Chat now no longer links if you are not in a party. Chat is now sticky (It'll stay on the right chat even when you go to a battle) Added Greed to Party Loot option. Also, now that the chat is fixed in the RPG, it'd be nice if you could now host detailed RPG chats in the actually RPG chat servers. You can still use the SB for help and whatnot, but it might be better to use the RPG Chats so that you guys don't overtake the SB.

The Writing Competition has concluded! The winners of the fable writing competition are as follows: 1st place: "DisQUILLified" by Tanya. A lively little fable with a moral; just what we were looking for and entertaining to boot. 2nd place: "Dragora's Song" by Kurigo. The effort Kurigo put into this story is clear, and it flows along nicely from beginning to end. 3rd place: "Rare Obsession" by Stef. The judges especially enjoyed the message about Calista at the end! This week's Writing Competition takes the form of a limerick. You know limericks: There once was a boy from Nantucket, and so on. Your limerick doesn't have to start with "there once was," as so many do, but it does have to follow the proper limerick rhyme and line scheme. Write about either the Lightest Tower or the Darkest Tower, but not both! Deadline for contest entries is Friday, May 15. Good luck, rhymers!

The Toy Collection is here! The highscore works like the Plushie one, so better get collecting to get on top! You can also submit items to the Toy Junk Sale. Everyday, 6 random toy items will be selected. If you manage to return them, you will be rewarded a random rare item! Also, we are trying to make the weapons more fair to use. There are a few weapons which need limiting and updating, and a few changes to weapons have been made that I wasn't even aware of, so I will be trying to fix these up. However, your Battle Set will be temporarily locked if you break the coding rules of equipment. I.e. Having two healers, two freezers. You can unlock your set simply by unequipping the item. Locking will disable you from upgrading items with weapon slots/spheres and prevent you from equipping other items. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to mail me and I'll try to sort them out

Another Writing Competition has ended! As usual, the entries were excellent and the winners hard to choose. There was even a tie involved this time and the judges had to pull in extra help to break it. Without further ado, the best limericks are: 1st place: "Resist the Temptation" by Fruit. With a smooth read and some distinct phrasing, this rhyme warns us about the forbidden temptations of the Darkest Tower while somehow managing to make the place more irresistible than ever. 2nd place: "Is It Really Just One Page?" by sacredsinner. Focusing on just one aspect of the Lightest Tower, this little ditty might evoke as many groans as it does laughter, especially if you've ever been stuck inside, reading an endlessly long book for homework, during a glorious spring day. 3rd place: "The Lightest Shower" by Ba. A super-cute poem with the silliness and perfect rhythm of a true limerick. And of course, we like bananas. Bananas are good. Congratulations, you guys! The new competition starts now. Write a short story about an experience at Fargo's Morphic Pool. Triumph or failure, comedy or tragedy, it's up to you, but remember that humor always gets bonus points. You have until Friday, May 29 to submit your story. A post will be up shortly in the Writer's Corner forums so that you can sound out your ideas with others. Luck!!

Earlier today we had a little secruity problem, and 3 user accounts were compromised. We have patched the glitch, thanks to a certain somebody (ahem). The 3 users who were affected have been mailed and have been sent a Glitchie. All other users should be safe and should have nothing to worry about A new option has been added to the site to help keep your accounts safe. Alice Security is an option which you can enable by going to your User Settings and editting your profile. Alice will basically check the IP on your account and the IP currently accessing your account, and if there is a change, she will lock your account and ask you to input a PIN. Entering the PIn will unlock your account and you can continue to play as normal. This, of course, won t be useful to some users as there IPs are ever-changing, but for those of you who would like a little bit of extra-safety, you can enable this option in your User Settings. You will need to set your PIN first, which you can do here. Thanks for being patient.

Hey guys! Some new updates for you... really involving our Mod Team. We have finally added some new mods to the site, who will be moderating the shoutbox/forums and other areas of the site. And just some quick rule updates: You do NOT have to notify us if you have more than one person playing on your computer on Ichumon. We do not ban strictly on IP addresses, we ban based on all sorts of logs. Please reread the rules for clarification. Also, we will no longer be giving out verbal warnings or whatever they are We have decided that it causes too much confusion and too much frustration to users who seem to get away with stuff whilst others dont. So we will just be straight timing-out users as a verbal warning instead. I d advise you all read the rules again, which can be found here. Also note, that warning % ARE removed at the end of the year, so don t feel too discouraged by this. We just want to make sure everyone knows we are being fair and trying to make the site safe,clean and a better place to hangout. Thanks ^_^
