Also bear in mind I often hear "Sammy can you add this or that". Sometimes they are great ideas and I see what I can do. Other times they probably wouldnt be good for the game. Or others just arent feasible or possible.
In this particular case, there havent been any major changes done in awhile. Other than some minor additions it was bug fixes, various improvements to existing stuff, or adjusting things if they dont seem to work well for what their intended purpose was. As for 'off site' development, where? And with whom? There is a nice thing about having it developed here. XI gets everything first before others do. Even if there are issues to work out while we go. One of those issues is whether or not YOU think it is fun and fair for everybody. Or if it not so fun then how to make it better so it is.
