RC! Platform --Temporarily Discontinued after July 2012--

Redemption Connect! will be shutdown at the end of July until further notice. Please read details below..


Black Fire Development Official Closing Announcement:
At the beginning of June, Black Fire Development canceled their accounts with HostGator, the web host provider that currently runs the Redemption Connect! Platform. We have ported our client's accounts to new private cloud servers. Unfortunately the software platform that Redemption Connect! ran on under hostgator is no longer available. To allow for RC! to continue operation, much of it's code would need to be altered. In addition, due to it's sheer popularity, RC! consumes enough bandwidth and server CPU cycles that in order to continue it's operation, it would need it's own private server, which is a cost that Black Fire Development is unable cover. These factors combined have led to the decision to temporarily discontinue RC!

Currently we have plans to re-write the needed components and re-design the site. These plans including dropping many features until they are completely developed. These features include the Tournaments page, Playgroups page, Academy page, Card database, & profile page. When RC! is re-released it will contain the 2 most used components, RC Play! & RC! Card Designer. No future release date is known at this time.

Liked!  I've been involved in many beta testing projects before, so I'm looking forward to this one.

Thanks for the great response so far! I'm excited to see the interest. Also, if any of you are graphic designers, or program in PHP and Javascript and would like to join the development, please PM me.

Working on adding the image url's to the cards. Once the scripts are complete, we'll need some people to help manually enter url's in on the ones the script missed. Any volunteers?

It would be nice to be able to register to use it.  It tells me you are not accepting new users.  What a shame.

No results for Crimson heroes, for some odd reasons.  Where should we submit reports?

That's cause there is no such thing as a crimson hero. XD. Do you mean Red hero or Crimson Evil Character?

What exactly would you define as an "issue"?

Also: you might want to combine all these into one thread.

I mean that there's some significant work to be done.  It's still in alpha, of course, but there's no reason to enable the ability to search for a Crimson Hero.  Same goes for brigade of Artifacts, etc.

Also, it's Strength/Toughness, not Attack/Defense.

That would be a useful feature, wouldn't it? Go ahead and submit it to the tracker and i'll approve it.
