11/27/2001 Premium Winter Solstice is Almost Here!
The Premium Winter Solstice will be arriving in Frostacres December 1st through the 7th. Yes, that means a week of snowball throwing, merchants, and the opening of something new!

The merchants that will be arriving have scheduled their times on the GS3 Calendar so you won't miss your favorite merchant. All the merchants will be using a 3-day merchant rule. So choose your merchants wisely!

Because the portals to Frostacres will be open the entire week of the event, I would like to remind you to please not abuse Frostacres by exchanging items between players from different towns. If you are caught doing that, your Frostacres privileges will be taken away. Enough of the warnings! I look forward to seeing you all there. Make sure you dress warm!

11/27/2001 Elanthian Guide to Arms and Armor
Backsword or broadsword? Crowbill or cudgel? Flail or flamberge? What's your favorite weapon? The weapons of Elanthia are as diverse as its inhabitants. Learn more about Elanthian weapons, magical enhancements and the materials that are used to create them on our website at http://www.play.net/gs3/info/armory

11/24/2001 Forging
Attention players! Please do not refer simply to have a GM check your current forging ability. If you feel there may be a problem with the system or an issue with your ability to forge, feel free to seek assistance from the staff. However, if you simply wish to know "where you are" in terms of your forging ability, you don't need to look any farther than the quality of the goods you're producing. As your skill level goes up, so does the quality of the goods your producing.

11/18/2001 Pet Restriction Lifted
Since the construction of the Four Winds Hall atrium, pet owners were restricted with political snares, and regulations which forced their darling friends to remain inside. But no longer! Four Winds Hall has struck a deal with the local towns and cities, and a new sense of freedom was created. By local law, pet owners can now allow their faithful friend to roam around within neighborhoods by their side. Take your pets on a walk, sit outside and watch the stars. But do be courteous and clean up after them!

11/16/2001 Title Proclamation
Let it be known that henceforth, by High Council decree, that the Council of Guilds has proclaimed a change of status. The Council has deliberated the question of titles for the Lords and Ladies of its membership, and decreed by an overwhelming majority vote that a change in titles is in order. The Council of Guilds has sent out a scroll of proclamation to each and every guild declaring the new titles that shall be used. To find out which titles are available to you, simply refer to the TITLE LIST.

11/13/2001 New Brawling Weapons!
Eleven new brawling weapons have been added to the assortment of weapons available in Elanthia! From a razorpaw to a troll-claw, from a hook-knife to a fist-scythe, the choices of how you can battle your foes up close and personal have just multiplied by ten!

11/13/2001 Forging is Released!
Forging is now available in Elanthia! Public workshops will soon be open in every town, providing the opportunity to develop your own weapon crafting skill!

I made it myself!" or just longed for a nifty bronze toothpick like all the real heroes are sporting, Forging could be the skill you've been waiting for!
