The Lost City of Kipuka [2006-01-20 20:12:46]
The Lost City has been discovered in the Southeast region of the Carnage
Continent.  It has been said that the city was nearly destroyed by a great
battle, and is now under the reign of a brutal tyrant.  If one wishes, the
secrets of the city are there to be discovered, and its treasures claimed!

Thanks to Kayenta for this new area!

Equipment Updates - Phase 1 [2005-12-03 13:01:10]
Numerous updates have been made to equipment.  Any equipment that you currently have will remain the same, however, various items have changed so when items are newly found, be aware they may not be as they once were, or, where they used to appear in the game.  There will however be added variety to the loot that's found, and, hopefully a broader range of viable options for weapons.  The updates are not set in stone and are subject to change.

There was little feedback from people providing suggestions.  Thanks to those who put in the effort.  Not all suggestions were implemented, some suggestions were partially implemented, some were taken exactly as suggested.  Some previously submitted suggestions are still being considered as they are trickier items to balance, or place.

Equipment should update on zone reload or the next reboot.

Additional changes will be made and we are still accepting suggestions from any and all players.  To submit suggestions, drop Wren a mud mail, send an email to wren.the.immortal@gmail.com, or send me a Private Message to Wren on the WoC Forum.  

Spell Change: Rebirth --> Revitalize [2005-12-03 00:01:25]
The rebirth spell has been renamed to revitalize which is much less loaded
with respect to purpose. The spell has otherwise remained the same, except
vampires may now use it.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Training Pets [2005-11-25 14:09:22]
I fixed some bugs with training pets today. Their armour should save now and
having better quality when training primary stats on pets won't penalize the
gains on other stats dependent on the primary stat being trained.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Gateway Between Cythera and Cimmura Opened [2005-11-20 00:18:30]
Powerful magic has been cast in Cythera and Cimmura to create a magical
gateway between the two places. Rumour has it that travel through the portals
is being monopolized at extortionist prices.

Pkill Adjustments [2005-10-11 18:45:44]
Death from a PC controlled creature now results in pkill experience loss.
Additionally there is no longer any penalty for fleeing from PCs or from PC
controlled creatures.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Affects to the Second [2005-10-10 00:02:32]
Player and object affects can now have durations set in the seconds instead
of being restricted to ticks only. This involved a LOT of code changes and so
it's quite possible there will be bugs. With this rewrite in place I changed
the durations for the insanity and sleep spells. They are now defined by
seconds and not very many unless you're high level or have high quality.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Changes to Second Attack and Third Attack [2005-10-02 13:07:35]
These skills have been reduced in damage effectiveness in an attempt to
better balance damage from warriors in the game. Damage incurred by a warrior
should intentionally be less than that of a mage since there is no cost
for performing the skill. See the help for full details. Additionally the
efficacy of +damage from modifiers has been reduced a bit which places a
stronger emphasis on natural ability.

Cheers,
Blobbie.
