6/26/2003 STUPENDOUS SOIREE AT DELUCA'S
Hear ye! Hear ye! If you can get to DeLuca's then you can get to the party extravaganza of the year! On this Feastday, we will have much debauchery as we celebrate the bond we share and party till the minotaurs come home!

There will be gambling, drinking, games, drinking, prizes, drinking, thieves' poker, drinking, socializing, drinking, and did we mention drinking?! Come one, come all (as long as you know the password) and join us in a night to remember! Be there or be square...er wait, we are squares. Feastday, 12th of Koaratos (July 12th, 2003 between 7pm and 10pm Eastern).

6/19/2003 REVISIONS TO CHARACTER TRAINING AND REALLOCATION
The upcoming move to GemStone IV has caused some considerable concern among many players as regards the required "reallocation" step. Based on feedback from the forums, and in particular SimuCon, we have learned that many people are dreading the arduous, lengthy and error-prone process of reallocating potentially hundreds of levels of character development just to keep playing. And worse, that doing it wrong may yield an "unviable" character.

Most players want to just play GemStone, they dont want to feel required to understand the rather dry calculations and all the little details it might take to recreate their existing character, or create a viable character at all. And we agree.

Good news! The staff of Simutronics went to work to find a solution to these problems and we have found something that will work. Read all about it here: https://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=30&category=101&topic=1&message=30

Thank you for taking the time to help GemStone IV be the best online roleplaying experience there is!

6/10/2003 ASSASSIN APPREHENDED!
Earlier last week, a trap was sprung and the infamous assassin Nymh was captured by the expert tracker Narsyl. The reward has been granted by Moonshine Manor, and Narsyl has donated a third of it to the Temple of Lorminstra in the Landing.

The streets are once again free from the sniveling rat and Moonshine Manor personally thanks all those who aided in the hunt.

6/2/2003 LAST NAME CHANGE
This morning we began running a program on our character name database. As a result all existing last names will no longer be unique, and will be able to be selected as a character's first name. We estimate well over 300,000 names will be freed by the end of the day.

This change was announced several months ago as part of a system which would not only free up more names for use, but would also allow for future development of a system which would allow for shared last names.

6/1/2003 CHARACTER MANAGER UPDATE
An update to the Character Manager system has been implemented. The change allows us to provide additional reallocation options for specific professions. Due to significant changes in ranger skills & spells they have been granted one additional reallocation option, which is not subject to the time constraints that the original six reallocation options are.

Please report any irregularities (formerly known as 'bugs' or 'features') with the BUG verb and in the Character Manager topic of the BBS in the Strategies, Tactics, and Huntings Category.
