9/30/2003 HOUSE BRIGATTA'S NEW ADVENTURERS HUNTING EXPEDITION
The members of House Brigatta are sponsoring a hunting expedition for new adventurers (1-10 trainings) and Brigattans alike the second Niiman (Thursdays) of each month at 9:00 PM Elven. Meet outside House Brigatta and join them for the hunt and experience, and perhaps make a friend or two. Spells, healing and resurrections are provided if needed.

9/14/2003 RANGERS CONTINUE DELIVERIES
The Elanthian Explorers' Society is pleased to offer the Ranger Express Delivery Service (REDS) in a town near you. We will transport your items throughout the continent of Elanthia for a very reasonable price! A schedule of pick ups and deliveries can be obtained from www.rangerexpress.net. You may also contact Argaine, Dresdena, Revalos or Cappurnicus in-game for information.

9/14/2003 ALPHA TEST COMBAT CHANGES
A large number of changes were rolling into combat in the last week. Among the changes were:
Evade, Block, Parry
Critical Revisions
Armor Revisions
Stance Revisions
Ambush Revisions
Weapon Revisions
Two-Weapon Revisions
Staves
Spell Adjustments
Shield Adjustments
Dodging

If you want to test out your character's new abilities (such as block, evade,and parry), then you can choose to engage in a duel with another player. Please remember to get a player's permission before you engage them in combat!

Another way to test combat is to engage one of the creatures listed in post 10528 in the topic folder "Discussions about the new GemStone" (http://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=30&category=101&topic=3&message=10528). They will work for characters near the level that is specified in the chart. However, understand that these creatures have only been partially converted. The changes made to them are temporary (at best) in order to give you an idea of how combat works. You should expect these creatures behaviors and values to change dramatically before GemStone IV goes live.
