Our new platform has arrived... along with a few small tweaks
In the early hours of Wednesday morning we switched some of the site over to our new platform, which we've been planning and constructing behind the scenes now for several months, and is the product of our new workflow.

iPhone App, MMO Section, and optimised pages
We've been hard at work lately on some big organisational improvements within the dev team, the result of which will start to show later on in the year (which are all very exciting for us, anyway). Aside from this, we've had a few updates:
