Someone just shid themself! [2006-09-02 15:06:16]
That's right, you too can shide yourself as long as you're a thief or a jack and you have the amazing skill of shide.

Cheers,

Practicing [2006-08-29 18:57:37]
Holy shit! Some news... bahahaha. Anyways, you can spend away your practices to raise your skills to exactly 99% without losing out in a big way for a few % raise. The system now only charges you as many practice points as necessary. If a fractional charge is necessary then you are charged a full point and the extra fraction is accumulated. When accumulation of fractions goes above a whole number then you will gain a practice on your next kill as though you had just earned it the normal way... this way the practice system retains it's whole number philosophy and nobody gets screwed.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Less Crashes [2006-06-10 19:28:47]
MUD should be more stable now. Turns out I forgot to up the memory limit
allowed for the server when we switched over to the 64 bit machine and so
with the 64 bit machine requiring more memory we were hitting the limit
and the OS was denying it memory when requested -- this resulted in many
of the crashes.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

New Druid Spell: recharge [2006-05-28 02:43:15]
Druids can now recharge a wand or staff. See the help for complete details.

This spell brought to you mostly by Squirt.

Experience Gains [2006-05-28 02:01:53]
I've updated the exp gain system so that gains are more consistent and higher in general-- especially when given level differential and repeated killing of same mob. All players should notice an improvement.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

New Ranger Skill: campfire [2006-05-27 22:05:56]
Check the help for details.

Pierce and Bludgeon [2006-05-27 10:39:28]
Can now be learned by all classes. You still need to get combat first, but hey, at least you can hit now *lol*.

Also shamans had detect invisibility removed from their skill list since it overlapped with boon of the eagle.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Boons are Back baby! YEEEAH! [2006-05-27 02:10:30]
I've added back in shaman boons. They are not identical to the Cytheran
originals since I considered Boon of the Goat stupid and some of the
bonuses not in tune with the particular animal. Read the individual help for
exact details.
<art>

   Boon of the Turtle
   Boon of the Elk  
   Boon of the Wolf  
   Boon of the Eagle
   Boon of the Tiger
   Boon of the Bull  
   Boon of the Horse

Name Tweaks [2006-05-23 20:37:43]
Rebirthing will now maintain your forum user and update it with your new name
(if any). If you create a char, then delete it or rebirth it, you should always be
able to re-use the name regardless of name filtering system -- unless I remove
it from the safe list :) If I rename you then you will no longer be able to hope
I forget to delete the old pfile *smirk* -- any name I change you to will
automatically become safe in case you delete or rebirth.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Objects Update: Cloaks (wearAbout) [2006-05-01 19:33:26]
<art>
Cloaks have been overhauled, ones that were broken (didn't give ac properly)
Now do give AC.  Others have had stats updated.  Most things were improved.
A few had an AC tweak downwards.

The eternal tree, Zamadhi.
