Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

I began to look into some more site updates recently and ran head first into some issues with the way the underlying core of the site had been built two years ago. At the time I figured I'd just live with the few minor "bad practices" because it made my life easier and the code seemed neater... unfortunately this eventually came round to bite me in the ass.

So, for the past week I've spent my evenings reconfiguring the core and literally every single function that is used. That means that Imperial actually uses a more Object Orientated (OOP) approach for once. Fingers crossed there aren't too many bugs that I've introduced, but so far everything seems to be ticking along well.

The good news behind all of this boring stuff that I imagine you don't care about, is that I should be able to continue with my other plans!

A bit of a non-update, but I thought it would be nice to let people know that I'm still around, development on project ideas is just slow due to them being complex.

I've picked up solarempire.uk as a sister / alias domain for the site. It doesn't especially effect anyone, but it was a nicety for my own sake more than anything else. You can visit the domain to get to the site, but you'll always be redirected to "official" address which is the SSL enabled www.solarempire.co.uk

Happy gaming!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
