Pet Resurrection [2006-11-18 03:17:19]


            If your pet dies it can now be resurrected by a cleric having the resurrection spell. You must be logged in for it to recognize you as its master when resurrected.

Silver Tower Stronghold [2006-10-31 16:44:31]


            I split the Silver Tower stronghold into its own area so that it can be better updated/maintained. A lot of IDs had to change, and I cleaned up its scripts. Those of you who come to own it, please let me know if you notice any problems.





On another note, stronghold rent system is complete.

Stronghold Rent [2006-10-29 19:44:41]


            The amount of stronghold rent to be charged will be according to the following formula:





    <playerLevel> * 1000 * ((<guardianLevel> / 2) MAX 1)





Guardian level here refers to the powerup level purchased. So for a level 60 player with a guardian of level 1 then the cost will be:





      (60) * 1000 * ((1 / 2) MAX 1)


    = 60000 * (.5 MAX 1)


    = 60000 * 1


    = 60000





Similarly a level 75 player with a level 5 guardian will have the following cost:





      (75) * 1000 * ((5 / 2) MAX 1)


    = 75000 * (2.5 MAX 1)


    = 75000 * 2.5


    = 187500





This will be charged for each player in the stronghold each day. The actual cost


will be stretched over the duration of the real day. If at any time insufficient funds exist then the Stronghold will revert to game ownership and all current members will be evicted.





This is subject to change if I find it's too cheap.

Gold Coins [2006-10-25 02:19:45]


            You can now put X gold coins into a container... and on that note, Strongholds now have a collection box to hold lots and lots of gold -- Don't be shy >:)

Stronghold Titles [2006-10-24 04:17:03]


            All strongholds have now been updated so that members can rename them. Additionally, each stronghold's title can be seen from its entrance. Silver Tower also had its member names removed from the listing so that only the title is shown. If you notice any bugs, as always report them :)





In the near future, at least 7 days from now though, ALL strongholds will be updated so that members have to pay rent. I have not yet settled on just how much the rent will be, but it surely will be connected to the number of members and the levels of the members. Ultimately there will be a big collection dish/box/bowl/whatever in each hall and in it you can put your moola. As the need arises each day, the current day's rent will be extracted. If at any time the amount of gold necessary is not found, then all members will be evicted and the stronghold will go into game ownership.





The reason for the change is because Strongholds are part of the game, they are primarily for role-playing group themes. Crusty old players that never log in do not deserve to hold onto Strongholds forever just because the guards are so tough. This will solve the problem because when the gold runs out the Stronghold will be much easier to take. This also helps to address the problem of players having multiple characters in Strongholds since such players will have to cough up the apporpriate gold for each stronghold... or I'm sure the other members will kick them out :B





Consider this your fair warning, in at least 7 seven days the rent will become effective and you should look for something in which to put your gold.





Cheers,


Blobbie.

Strongholds [2006-10-22 00:41:51]


            In the next short while Strongholds will gain the ability to be re-titled by their owners. For instance if you don't like "Legion of Doom" you will be able to change it to "Death Dealers". This is already in effect for the Legion of Doom hall, and others will follow shortly. Please keep titles in Role Play or I'll have to smack you around  bit :)





Cheers,


Blobbie.

Recent Communication [2006-09-06 13:07:50]


            Players can now view a recent list of tells, gtells, communes, or OOCs that they may have missed during gameplay, or that they just want to review. See the help on "recent communication".
