Recent Achievement Display

by GL_Slater, 18 days ago

In the near future, you may notice that recent achievements are not displaying. This is intentional - they have been shut off!

"Shut off?!" you say, "But GL_Slater, I need those achievements!"

Fear not, theoretically hysterical Guild Launch user. While recent achievements are down for the moment, this is a corrective measure to help improve tracking for the 145 million achievements* we track in Guild Launch.

So while the display of recent achievements has been struck down, it will soon become more powerful than you can ever imagine**!

*real number provided to GL_Slater by people who actually know.

**unless you can imagine quite a bit. But it will still be better.

Networking Upgrades - 1/4/12

by GL_Slater, 26 days ago

Hello, Guild Launchers!

For our first post of the year, I have both good news and bad news. The good news is that our data center is working on some networking upgrades, which means better service for you! The bad news is that, in order to implement them, we are going to have approximately thirty (30) minutes of downtime tomorrow, January 4th, around 11 PM EST.

To end this post on a happy (and cryptic) note, about an hour ago I got to sit down with our developers and talk about some new things that are going to get underway. I can't talk much about them yet, but 2012 looks bright!

As always, slay more dragons!
