It's been a while since I last wrote something .The Hercules Plugin Manager was released  on may the 2nd. Since then I've been focusing mostly on bug fixing , I've also been working on the battleground queue feature  (my working copy is a mess atm ). Today I took some time to go through the suggestion forum , I've responded to some and also moved a coup...

Today our neighbours released the Pin System  -- or so we thought. We were all excited about the feature, and I started to work on porting it to Hercules as soon as I could, only to find out it wasn't fully functional after I was done porting it.
