(Thanks to OneTonTomato for the Greasemonkey script that inspired this update.)

January 22

Shameless Cross-Promotion! In celebration of the release of MC Frontalot's new album Zero Day, we've implemented a quest designed by the selfsame nerdcore super-rapper.

The first ten stalwart Adventurers to complete his fiendishly convoluted puzzle will receive a free copy of the CD!

Rollover tonight (Wednesday) will be extra long, because we have to do some database maintenance. We expect it to take about 3 hours, so... let's say... 5 hours?

June 23
By player request, we're now able to accept donations via Rixty. Definitely a better way to donate that $10 in pennies than mailing them to us!

June 25
The Traveling Trader is back once again, peddling wares from exotic and far-off places.

June 25
The Meteoid cabinet in the Game Grid Arcade randomly started working again. Fonzie must've elbowed it or something.

June 30
The Game Grid Arcade's ticket redemption counter is now stocking special prizes available to people who beat each of the games.

June 30

It's the 15th, and there's a new antique for sale at Uncle P's!

July 19
The interface for buying Guild skills has been improved, and the costs of those skills have been adjusted to be a little friendlier to lower-level players. And openly hostile to higher-level players! Nah, just kidding. Mostly.

July 23
Jick and MC Frontalot did a short segment on Adam Carolla's Comic-Con podcast. Our bit starts 15 minutes from the end.

The Toot Oriole's tutorial (get it? GET IT?) has been redone. Unfortunately, it's not technically feasible to let existing players play the new one, so if you want to see it you'll have to make a new account, or better yet, recruit a friend and watch them play it!

October 07
The Traveling Trader is back from Distant Lands, and this time he brought tacos!

October 11
The new Mr. Store Anniversary familiars are now available. And only five days late -- a new record!

October 25
The Dungeon Full of Dungeons has been invaded by an army of skeletons!

The proprietors quickly filled out the necessary zoning paperwork to move their operation into the Big Mountains, into the old Hall of Legends building. Despite what you may have heard, nobody was bribed.

October 26
After being invaded by an increasingly large army of skeletons, the Mall of Loathing has relocated to a deserted strip mall in Bordertown.

October 27
The increase in intensity of the skeleton invasion has driven several local businesses to Bordertown.

The Ghost of the English Language also took this opportunity to get the hell out of Dodge, and his old Altar in town has been replaced by something far more sinister...

October 29
The skeleton invasion of Seaside Town continues unabated. Who will abate it?

October 30
The skeleton invasion has reached its apogee. Its zenith. Its... perihelion? Is... that a thing?

Anyway. It's at the Cannon Museum.

October 31
