Updates (20MAR):
Change: Forum Posting
We've had some requests from people to be able to post replies/feedback on our news items in The Illyriad Herald.

Stuff from the Herald is regularly copied over to the Announcements thread in the forum, and forum-registered players can now post replies to these threads.

Buglet (resolved): Mails without Subjects
You could not read the body of an ingame mail without a subject line. The system now prohibits sending ingame mail without any content in the subject line, and previously received emails are now visible with a [No Subject Line] subject line. If that makes sense.

Genders and character portraits
In player registation in addition to race you can now choose your character's gender. Also for current players you can choose your character's gender in your player profile.

Please note you can only change your character's gender once, so make your choice wisely.

A character portrait for your race and gender will now be shown alongside your choice of player desciption.

Changes to Overall Rankings
The combined Overall Ranking scores have changed.

They now take into account the rank within each sub-category (such as trade, quests, magic, offense etc) rather than the pure score in each of the individual ranking categories.

As such player positions are likely to have changed in the "Overall" category, but will remain the same in the sub-categories.

tl;dr Rankings have changed and are now more mathematical and equitable than they were previously.

I wonder how the formulae that calculates the rankings looks like.
What weighs heavy in the scoring... and what doesnt...
Just curious, i see the trade rankings/scores doesnt count as heavy anymore.

We've just done a new update which should prove more equitable and take into account relative score rankings within each category rather than just raw postions. More to follow - see it in the Hearld first!
