After some testing, running the numbers, and seeing how everything works out with the larger AP caps, the Admin have decided to lower the caps something more near what they were originally. This change has already rolled out, and you will see the results immediately.
First, why we did this. Originally, the idea was to give people higher AP caps so players who have lives can enjoy the game with more success than players who are able to check the game every hour or so. Like people with jobs, or people who need to sleep. The idea behind it was good, but the game wasn't designed to handle these large AP bursts - as I'm sure many of you noticed.
The larger AP cap completely negated barricades, and made the gameplay more bursty and less cozy. Barricades could be removed in an instant by a single player, as well as be put up in an instant right after killing a player. This felt unfair to both sides. Buildings would go from decimated to repaired, and visa versa, so fast that nobody had a chance to respond or call for reinforcements. A solo player was able to do too much, too fast.
The AP levels have been adjusted to 80 if you're a human, 60 if you are not. This is closer to what they were previously, but still slightly higher. The admin have discussed these numers for a while, and feel that it's a good place to stettle at. We're hopeful that we wont need to make changes to this value going forward, and you guys can get comfortable with the current limitations.
Thank you all for your understanding as we work at balancing this game further, and going forward into what this game has to offer. As it gets more complex, and it will, there will be much more balancing changes to be made. The goal is to make each class feel as good as any other class, they should be destroying the class they counter, while having a miserable time with the class that counters them. We will keep working until we achieve this goal!
And as always, keep complaining in the various channels. We are listening, we do take note of them, and we will make changes if your complaints are justified.
Thank you all, and don't forget to brush your teeth!

Two big things:
AP limits are being adjusted for all classes. Zombie and Vampire AP cap will be set to 100, while Humans will sit a bit above them at 120. I could explain why here, but I think a back and forth discussion is more viable, so please, if you have any questions let them be known in general! That's in discord, for those reading this on the website.
ANNOUNCEMENT DOS
Not as exciting, but the game now has various protections against some things. Most notably, it will detect if you use automated software to reload the web page. Using any sort of automated software on the game is against the rules. If detected, you will be locked out of your account for 10 minutes, doubling per detect, and the timer only starts once the game detects that you've stopped using your software.
Additionally, the game will now throttle your loads and set your requests to the lowest priority if you've hit about 30 Hours of server load time per week. This is a free game, and we all must do our parts to share the resources. Those who cannot, will face notably longer load times as the game handles everyone else's requests first. This feature has actually been in the game for a little while now, a week or so, and I've been watching it closely. Don't worry too much about this if you're a current player, as only one user has ever hit the threshold, while the rest of you haven't even gotten even half way close to hitting it. You're all fine.

As a trial run, this weekend Im activating (near) realtime updates for the events, discussion and map panels. Ill be watching the server load, and if it gets too crap, I will roll back this update or make adjustments.
Currently, due to limitations on the engine, the inventory panel (including ap, hp, and exp) and description panel with the menus there will not update. The current design doesn't like when I push updates to drop down menus. This may just be how it be if/until I update the whole interface.
If you notice any fuckiness, please report them in the bugs reports channel (on discord for those reading this on front page.)
