I Rolled out the last major update to modernize, the legacy code, making it more user-friendly and future-proof.

I will be bug fixing the auctions , spell checking some things in dog, and then moving straight to inventory.

This was a backend update but some fixes got in:

- Random events improved. 1 check per day but with greatly increased occurrence.

- Raccoons now work, and will increase your chance to get random encounters.

- Easter, and other seasonal events now work, they will be enabled accordingly

- Polls no longer refresh the page

- Double bone specials work. and now can enable Triple Bone specials on special occasions.

- Widget Overhaul: Widgets such as in-game mail, shouts, and online counts are now "live," updating periodically to reflect actual values in real-time.

-All code has been 'cleaned up' site-wide now, now we can move to improvements and new features

- Foundation for Future Design: This update paves the way for modern website redesigns and features, which were previously impossible with the old structure.

We are entering the final revisions for the original code base of alacrity.

These changes involve the display of the widgets surrounding the page (like the login box, nav bar, number of messages, etc)
