27th Aug 2019 archive announcement

Since we are about to enter a new month, and with seeing the news of even more extreme weather and natural disasters happening around the globe every week, I wanted to remind everyone of our Vacation Hold policy.

If you are in any position where you cannot get to the game for an extended time, whether it be military deployment, natural disasters, or something else please reach out to us, and we can consider your request to put your house into a Vacation Hold to prevent it from decaying in the normal timeframe.

Hi all,

Just a friendly reminder to please link your discord account to your in-game account when you /page. It really helps our Counselors and GM staff get in touch with you faster and get things to a resolution as quickly as possible.

Thanks!

  • Gardener vendors (including the Gardening Broker) now buy seeds back for a very modest sum.
    - Super rare rideable llama spawns have been made slightly less rare.


24th Aug 2019 archive patchnote

  • Mage NPCs will now buy any spell scrolls and miasmas that you may come across for a very small sum - small enough that you'll almost certainly make more money selling them to another player.

It has been brought to our attention that people are selling Pet Deeds with pets that have 200/200/200 stats. Please know that this is an exploit people have been abusing by casting Bless onto their pets and then deeding the pet. Do not buy these deeds as the pets will be auto-corrected soon back to the standard stats. Pet caching has also been disabled due to this.

    - Adds "vendor sell" speech command support to player vendors
    - Fixes inability to drop items into For Sale containers not inside the vendor's inventory
    - You can now use the house deco functions to move for sale objects on plot

  • Vendors will now buy back anything they sell, with a 20% restocking fee (that's 80% of the purchase price). Whatever you're selling must be able to actually be redeeded!
    - It turns out houses sell for an enormous amount of very heavy gold pieces, so in order for you to not be stranded huffing and puffing after a sale, sales to a vendor over 15K will now go straight to your bank box.

Some of these have been in for a little while.
- Travel Markers were mistakenly removed a while ago and have now been readded, and this time all mage NPCs have one for every town.
- Full spellbooks and runebooks are no longer available from event token vendors and Vela in Wind; this was forcing scribes to raise their begging skill.
- The portal to the shipwreck in East Valusia from Buccaneer's Den has been closed, matey! If ye wants to get onto the ship, ye will have to climb aboard the plank, ye scurvy dog!

  • Town containers have been turned back on with performance optimizations, and will begin spawning items inside for thieves to steal again
    - Attempting to steal an empty container inside a thief box will now steal the container instead of saying "that has nothing of value to steal"
    - Items should NOT be lootable from these containers, and if you find one that you are able to loot without Stealing, please let us know -- in cases where people were getting items stuck in their backpacks due to looting stealable items, those items should now auto-fix and not be stuck any further


22nd Aug 2019 archive patchnote

In preparation for the upcoming PVE/PVP tamer pet changes:

Test Center is still available for testing upcoming changes.

After the next server reboot, we will be running some detailed information capture procedures in order to try and pinpoint the cause of the lag over time and other current performance issues.

These procedures will be very intensive on in-game experience and may cause you to lag out or even kick you off the server entirely. We ask for your patience, as it is critical this information is gathered while the server is under load with a player population active. We will give you advance warning when this is going to occur.

The first of these will be run at 4am UTC/12am EST tomorrow (approx. 5 hours from the writing of this message.)

  • We have created the Magincia Faction Stone, and for the time being we have moved Faction Wars to Magincia.
    - Order/Chaos/Balance Factions fight over control of Towns. By standing near these Control Point Stones as Faction Teams (2+), Faction Players will be called upon to defend the Stone from Capture. Faction Leaders spawn near each stone.

  • Britain: The first skill trainer has gained an appreciation for the arts and moved near Britain's stage
    - Britain: A second skill trainer has arrived and can be found near the bulletin board in Britain, in line with most other cities
    - Upper Plains: Ogres in Giant Steppes are now found closer to the bonfires and are less spread out.
    - Magincia: There are now less elementals in Magincia mine, and enraged elementals will show to a much lesser degree near the entrance.
    - World: A lot more healers have been added to the world. This has actually been happening a lot for the past month or 2 because you can only run around as a ghost without knowing where a healer is in the middle of the wilderness for so long.

Sorry everyone, we've disabled mounting on all of the bears. :( It wasn't intended to make all bears mounts after the Steam launch when they were added. Don't worry though, we're going to add them to the world in
a meaningful way so that they matter! Bears lives matter! Thanks for your understanding.
