    You may have heard that we will be moving to a new source soon (HurricaneMS). As I have got my own Test Server up and running, I am able to try to ensure that all major bugs/exploits are removed and that all features work prior to updating it to the live server. In this new source is a lot of really nice features, but also a lot of things that do not suit MapleRoyals which need to be disabled or removed.

    I cannot give an estimated time yet as to when this source will be ready to be launched on the live server due to the fact that pretty much everything needs testing and I cannot know how many issues I will encounter yet.

    Progress is going well. Everything I have identified as an issue so far has been fixed, just continuing testing and ensuring there are no possible exploits.

    Hi, can I know what it means by moving to a new source? Will our characters get deleted when you move the source?

    It means that the coding of the java source files is quite different in many ways, and has a lot of new features (most of them really good), and there are some slight changes to the database columns. And no it won't effect characters. This might fix the no drops glitch. I really don't know though, as that glitch is very hard to recreate, it seems so random. But it's worth a try. And we will be sticking to this source once I get it ready.

    The spawn rate is a lot better too :)

    Just an update to say that progress is going well and I may have this ready to be launched in the morning depending on any further issues I find.
