| 4/29/2007 | STORMFRONT STANCE PANEL |
|---|---|
| The STANCE system has been updated to support a new stand-alone stance panel for the StormFront FE that displays your current stance status. This new window may be opened by means of the Windows panel, and may be resized and positioned as any other window. If the "Stance" panel does not show in the Windows panel list just below the existing "Combat" panel, exiting and re-entering the game will see that it is properly added. | |
| 4/29/2007 | GEMS TAKE ON A NEW LOOK |
|
Tired of grabbing that star ruby when you're trying to get that ordinary ruby on the ground? Rejoice, then, for effective immediately, several ambiguously named gems have been slightly renamed.
Four gems are affected by this change: First, "a ruby" and "an emerald" are now "an uncut ruby" and "an uncut emerald" respectively. Second, "a pale green moonstone" and "a pale blue moonstone" have been changed slightly so that you may use the color to reference the stone, e.g. "get blue moonstone" will now work. Existing gems will not be renamed. All systems that use any of the changed gems have been updated to work with either the new or old version. |

| 4/14/2007 | COUNTDOWN TO SURNAMES: IS YOUR REGISTRATION UP TO DATE? |
|
The complete surname system is drawing near to being released, which will give players the capability to create new last names for their characters or change their last name to something else. Before that happens, we offer a reminder to those who *already* possess a last name to register it with the surname clerk in your local town.
Q: Do I HAVE to register my name? A: No, registration is completely optional and no existing surname will be revoked from a character on the grounds of lack of registration. Q: Then why bother? A: Registration gives you exclusive control of the name, preventing others from taking it for themselves. If your surname is not registered, anyone else will be capable of claiming it and registering it for themselves, thereby preventing you from sharing your name with others (except in spousal situations). Q: Oh. How do I do it? A: Find the surname registry clerk in any town hall and ASK CLERK TO REGISTER if you have never done so, or ASK CLERK TO RENEW to extend your registration period by one year. Q: What happened to that yearly reminder we were supposed to get? A: The 30-day notice of the expiration of registrations will be activated when the rest of the surname system is deployed. Q: Cost? A: Initial registration and subsequent renewals will cost 100,000 silvers for Basic subscribers, 10,000 for Premium and Platinum subscribers. Q: How about a refund for those of us who registered 2-3 years ago and never got anything out of it? A: No refunds, HOWEVER: Starting today and ending when the full system is released, renewals on existing registrations will be free of charge. No registration that was ever made in the past has been deleted yet, so if you have ever registered your character's name, you're eligible for a free renewal during this time. Q: When, oh WHEN is the system coming out? A: RSN. |

| 4/13/2007 | THE BLACK WOLVES' LIVE AUCTION HAS RETURNED! |
|
The Black Wolves will be hosting their second live auction on Feastday, the 14th of Olaesta (Saturday, April 14). This is a great opportunity for new adventurers (or those without a hefty bank account) to participate. Bidding on most items will begin at one coin. Some items will have a higher starting bid, but they will also begin at an affordable price. There will be everything from trinkets and fluff to packs, armor, and weapons so there will be a huge selection to choose from.
The auction will be held in a tent just a block east of the gem shop along South Ring Road. Bidding will begin around 3:00 pm Empire time and will continue through the evening. Refreshments will also be provided, and if available we will have a member running to Icemule and Solhaven to escort any interested adventurers to the Landing. Just listen on the thought nets for their arrival. |

| 4/9/2007 | COMBAT MANEUVER LIST REVIEW |
|
We have recently conducted a full review of the Combat Maneuver List (CML) system and have made numerous changes to the various maneuvers. Information on the exact nature of these changes can be found at: http://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=102&category=4&topic=4&message=10041.
Due to the volume and significance of some of these changes, we are offering a special CML fixskills option. Starting April 9, all players will have access to one use of the new CMAN FIXSKILLS command. This command will instantaneously migrate all unlearned CMP that the player may have. Players are free to exercise this option at any time between April 9 and May 20, when the option to use this command expires. |

| 4/9/2007 | WARRIOR GUILD SKILLS UPDATED! |
| Successful Warcry attempts will now always take a flat 3 seconds of RT, as opposed to the previous random 3 to 10 seconds of RT. For Batter Barriers, the way that box hit points are calculated has been changed. Boxes retrieved from high level creatures should now have significantly less hit points, whereas boxes retrieved from lower level creatures should now have slightly more hit points. | |
| 4/9/2007 | FASTHR'S REWARD (115) REVISION |
|
Fasthr's Reward (115) has been revised based upon player feedback. The spell will no longer drop upon the reward effect's activation, unless the result actually causes the target to ward a spell. Specifically, it will last its full duration until a caster is subject to a spell, fails the original warding, the reward effect activates, and the new warding causes the caster to ward off the spell.
In addition, the lore bonus of the spell will now be applied after sphere discrimination. E.g. if a caster has 55 ranks of Spiritual Lore, Blessings, they will receive a +10% chance against all spheres of magic. Lastly, a bug was resolved that was erroneously showing the warding formula (when the reward effect would activate), but was intended to be hidden (like with Dispel Invisibility (109)). This message was originally posted in Magic Spells and Systems, Minor Spiritual Circle. To discuss the above follow the link below. http://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=102&category=18&topic=5&message=2073 |
