February 4, 2010 - eAcceleration has put live the fist update from the T4C Dev team. This update was primarily to recreate NPCs, Items, and Quests which were missing/different based our last committed source code and the files which were currently live on the server.

eAcceleration has decided to renew our license for T4C until the end of 2010.
We have found that not only have the number of players stayed above the level set forth when we decided to keep T4C running, but also development has progressed beyond our initial expectations. The GM's and the development team have done a great job, and we look forward to what they have in store for us in the future.
In addition to renewing the license, eAcceleration is going to make a commitment to adding new items to the T4C Shopping Cart. We also plan to keep the stock of items rotating on a more regular basis. Starting TODAY! So go have a look at the new additions.
Please check back around the middle of every month to see what new things we have added. Please be advised all items are subject to change. Some may only be up for a limited time and then disappear from the store not to return for some time, if ever.
It is my hope that we can continue to keep eAcceleration's T4C running for many more years to come, and that the great community that surrounds it continues to grow. |

eAcceleration will be closing the Chaos and Myth servers June 30th, but will offer free transfers to the Play server beginning May 22nd until June 22nd.
In order for eAcceleration to continue hosting and maintaining its main T4C server (Play) through the year 2010, the T4C PVP server (Chaos) will be closing on June 30th, along with the Role-Playing server (Myth), which will be converted to a test-only server.
Players with characters currently residing on Myth and Chaos will be offered free transfers of their characters to eAcceleration\'s main server (Play), from May 22nd through June 22nd. The free transfer service will be available to all customers with an active StopSign membership with a character that meets the following criteria:
*Character must be at least 4x
*Character must not have been cloned to Chaos or Myth from another server
Customers wishing to transfer a character that does not meet the free transfer requirements may still purchase a transfer token from the T4C store and request a transfer. Characters transferred via the free transfer service will retain all items that would normally accompany them during a paid transfer move. If a character is requested to be moved and has the same name as another character already on Play, then the character being moved will have its name changed.
While the free transfer service is offered, eAcceleration may experience a higher volume of requests from users causing all transfer requests to take additional time. We appreciate your patience while we work though your request and we will notify you once it is completed.
Any transfer requests (paid or otherwise) submitted after the cutoff date of June 22nd can not guaranteed, so please plan accordingly.
Thank you,
eAcceleration Corp |

eAcceleration to Continue Hosting T4C (The 4th Coming) Servers, While Transferring Game Administration & Development to its Volunteer Administration & Development Game Community.
The 4th Coming (T4C), the online role-playing game currently offered, hosted, and supported by eAcceleration Corp has been considered for elimination from the Company’s offerings for several months. However, it has always been eAcceleration’s desire to protect the interests of its game community members and to honor their wishes, where possible and practical, in whichever course of action it ultimately took. With that in mind, and in response to the feedback received from the T4C community, eAcceleration is offering to continue hosting the game, while transferring all administrative, support, and content development responsibilities to the voluntary community itself, lead by current and long-term Volunteer Game Lead, Anne Starling (aka Ishy).
As it stands currently, eAcceleration will continue to host and maintain its T4C server through the end of this year, at which time the Company is willing to renew the license with DialSoft, at the Company’s expense, for a period of one (1) year. This will enable eAcceleration to continue hosting and maintaining its main T4C server (“Play”) through the year 2010, while immediately eliminating one server (“Chaos”) and converting its third server (“Myth”) to a test-only server. The decision for eAcceleration to pay the initial license renewal fee is conditioned upon the community maintaining an active player base level that is equal to at least 50% of its current level. This determination will be made during the month of November 2009, and will be made by and in the sole discretion of eAcceleration.
Decisions about the future of T4C beyond the year 2010, including license renewals and/or server hosting, will be considered and reevaluated as that time draws near. Included in the evaluation criteria will be the degree to which significant or substantial new game development has occurred, which enhances player experiences and builds on the existing T4C setting and environment. eAcceleration makes no commitments or promises, expressed or implied, about the future of its T4C game status beyond 2010, and assumes no responsibility for providing or distributing additional in-game content. The responsibility of content development will be solely that of the voluntary development community.
eAcceleration will no longer actively promote T4C to new or existing customers. However, the T4C community may invite new players to join their online game community. Players must purchase and maintain an active StopSign Internet Security membership. eAcceleration will also maintain the T4C Online Store, where players can purchase game items, including new items created by the volunteer developers.
With their current StopSign memberships, T4C players will continue to receive reliable and effective computer protection and security, which includes daily scans, ongoing antivirus updates, and unlimited technical support, including customized cleaners.

FIX: Fixed the \'archer\' bug. Some variables used to indicate the direction of an object were not being initialized and were then used to indicate which sprite to drawn. If the arrow\'s direction relative to the archer cannot be determined, usually because the arrow and the archer are in the same spot, the arrow won\'t be drawn.
NEW: Loading some new cape and robe graphics from five new VSFs, \'t4cgamefile16.vsf\', \'t4cgamefile17.vsf\', \'t4cgamefile18.vsf\', \'t4cgamefile19.vsf\', \'t4cgamefile20.vsf\'.
