      <content:encoded><![CDATA[An update to the Harpoon Gaming All-Trade 3 has been performed. <br />
<br />
Major changes include:<br />
<ul>
<li>In the last update we added a plugin which created a proximity kill area around spawn doors on the All-Trade 3. This was to prevent exploits that allowed you to enter enemy spawn, as well as to help combat aggressive spawn camping. The plugin has been amended to warn you and give you 3 seconds to back off from spawn before slaying you.</li>

Major changes include:<br />
<ul>
<li>The issue where non-donators could use the grappling hook has been resolved.</li>
<li>There is now a proximity kill area around spawn doors on the All-Trade 3 map, we will be testing this plugin to see how people feel about it.<ul>
<li>Primarily, the plugin prevents exploits which allow enemy players in spawn. It also has a secondary benefit, that it prevents aggressive spawn camping.</li>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[An update to the Harpoon Gaming TTT Server has been performed. <br />
<br />
Major changes include:<br />
<ul>
<li>TTT Mini Turret now targets traitors, however, it does no damage. It also has a shorter targeting time, and increased damage. This removes some of the stealth of the turret, but increases the overall effectiveness.</li>
<li>Grappling hook is no longer drop-able, and also disappears on death.</li>
</ul>]]></content:encoded>
