Accounts Almost Finished

Just a quick update to say that phase one of the accounts system is nearly complete, and should be online within the next few days. Although it has taken longer than expected to build (as always), I have put things together in a way that should perform well and scale well. More soon!

Accounts Still Under Construction

Phase one of the account system is taking longer than expected, and is not yet ready for release. I am working full-time on the project, but I underestimated the amount of planning that it would require. In particular, it has taken a lot of time to design a system that will be able to support a large number of users and a potentially huge amount of data (since, for example, I expect that players' battle histories will accumulate very quickly). I have also invested a lot of time into making everything multi-language friendly. Tackling these challenges has been time-consuming and a short-term solution would have been to ignore them, but I think it is best to make the investment now and avoid a costly overhaul down the road.

I am hoping to be finished this weekend, but it could be sooner or later than that.

More soon!
