Today marks the last day of the Winter Events for 2020. Thanks to everyone that has participated! Due to this, the special winter drops will stop dropping after tonight. For those of you that enjoy ice fishing, don't worry! We've added some new items to obtain with ice fishing, as well as a few new additions to SOS loot.

Frozen Tundra is now open! Throughout the rest of the month creatures spawned in the Frozen Tundra will have a chance to drop Winter Event collectibles. There will be new monsters, mini-champs and champs to contend with. New armour and weapons to collect as well as dozens of new collectible items.

The region will be open indefinitely and is housing-enabled allowing players to place houses. Soon we will be adding the new snowy house models provided by LOA!

That's not all! In the coming days we will also be adding Fishing Updates, Ice Fishing, and the in-game Macro System! See the full details at: https://legendsofultima.gamepedia.com/Fishing_Update_December_2020

But what about Britannia?! Well don't worry we haven't lost focus on the new map, as the team has been working steadily on that as well. While we don't have anything new to show you today, we may have some further updates coming soon. Keep your eyes peeled, and in the meantime please enjoy the Winter festivities!

We are pleased to announce that Legends of Ultima will be launching our 2020 Winter Event this Sunday 13th December at 11:00am EST

The event this year is different to previous years and we are proud to announce that we will be opening the Frozen Tundra for our players to enjoy.

There will be new monsters, mini-champs and champs to contend with. New armour and weapons to collect as well as dozens of new collectable items to aquire. There are a few more surprises and more details will follow in the next few days but there will certainly be lots to keep you busy during the holiday period.

We have enabled a higher verification setting for the Discord to prevent abuse. If you were affected by this please know we did not single you out, but you just need to either A) verify your phone number on your Discord account or B) send us an email requesting an exception at [email protected] if you cannot or choose not to verify a phone number. Thanks for your understanding.

• An issue with Discordance being prevented from applying to some mobs erroneously has been resolved
  - Bard effect break range has been increased moderately to extend the distance allowed from mobs before the effects will break
  - An issue with monsters attacking the bard after being provoked should be completely resolved now, once monsters have been provoked they should no longer attack the bard at all, unless the effect breaks, let us know if this continues to be an issue
  - Patch Note Correction: The prior patch notes state that Provo/Peace will fall off if the bard dies, that was a typo and monsters should remain peaced/provo'd even if the bard dies, as long as they stay within range.
  - Clarification: Discordance does not have range check or hiding check, it only falls off after the timer ends.

• An issue has been solved preventing the Carpentry window Tools option from working.

Earlier this week during regular maintenance we did some cleanup of the world and inadvertently most/part of the locked event area outside of Britain was removed. Sorry for that, it was not intended and we will be considering replacing it somehow.

• Nightsight has been optimized and should provide the brightest daylight while using it, and it should persist through logouts and region transfers
  - Nightsight will now end and prevent stormy weather while under the effect
  - Nightsight duration has been reduced from 60+ minutes to 20 minutes max
  - Note: Dungeons are still not equipped with Suns and thus Nightsight still does not help inside Dungeons

General fixes and changes:
- An issue with gravedigging monsters sometimes becoming frozen and defenseless has been optimized, let us know if it continues
- Mounts will now have invisibility broken when being mounted
- You can no longer use the mount command to mount an invisible pet
- You can no longer use objects inside of locked containers, including attempting to equip objects or use/count/stack resources from locked containers
- Lockboxes are now lockpickable
- Locked containers can now be locked down, previously would say "cannot lockdown locked containers"
- Town vendors will now properly round their inventory numbers while restocking to prevent decimals, and rounding has been added to the "Set" input in the Sell window

Door Improvements:
- An issue with monsters being thrown outside the dungeon walls when a door closes has been resolved, mobs should now be moved appropriately in front of the door if they manage to get stuck in the doorway
- Doors will no longer close while a live being is obstructing the doorway, up to a limit, if the door has auto-close it will force-close after 2 minutes
- Door obstruction checks are currently only setup for dungeon doors, as this is where we have the most problem, this functionality will eventually be normal behavior for every door in LOU

An issue preventing guildmasters from seeing the Guildmaster Title option from the Guild Menu has been resolved

Welcome to May everyone!

Just want to drop by and give all of our dedicated supporters a big round of applause and thank you for continuing to support the project! In the past month we have been working on optimizing our infrastructure to prepare for the future, and we have also spent a lot of time cumulatively working towards the rest of our goals in the push to Britannia. Thanks to everyone that has helped with testing and participating in Test Center events. We'll keep working our hardest and hope to keep making you proud.

We know a lot of you are waiting to find out more about what to expect with the map change and many other changes coming with it, and we appreciate your patience while we continue to work all of that out. Thanks for being with us and remaining patient through our growth!

With the pandemic currently affecting the whole planet, we just want to remind everyone about the LOU housing policy.

If you are in any position where you cannot get to the game for an extended time, 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.

Stay safe!

• An issue has been resolved preventing dead characters from using teleporters

• An issue preventing criminal timer from being refreshed during PVP combat has been resolved
  - Line-of-sight requirement for NPCs to call guards has been disabled for Stealing; normally the NPCs in town would wander around and change their perspective, making theiving more challenging and rewarding in some cases, but at this time the NPCs are set to not-wander, so we're doing this to balance in-town thefts until NPC wander has been re-enabled.

We are aware some folks have lost some house contents following the deployment of the 12/8 patch. We sincerely apologize for any losses that this caused. We do not take lost progress lightly and you should know that we're sorry it happened. We do our best to heavily test each change and take measures to prevent losses as best as possible. Occasionally unforseen circumstances do occur, and we normally do our best to recover from them. In this case we were unable to intercept the issue in time to perform a rollback and address it. We thank you for your support and understanding.

Bola Revert

• Items that are detected out of the bounds will be automatically moved back inside the plot.
• There is now a reasonable min/max limit on lowering/raising objects on a plot.
• NOTE: An autofix has occurred that checked all objects on plots to be out of bounds and has automatically moved offending items inwards towards the plot so not to be extending out of bounds; because of this, some of your decorations or fence pieces may need to be re-positioned.
• GARDENING NOTE: Plants from gardening now require users to be at least friend to use/harvest the plants due to the deco autofix.

Ban List

• Targets that are banned are now prevented from re-entering the plot automatically.
• New tab in the Plot Menu has been added to manage Bans.

• To Mill/Chop something use the E ability on a Hatchet.
• To cut cloth objects, use a pair of scissors.
• You can now salvage items that are on the ground, in your pack animal, or in your inventory, as long as you have access to pick it up.
• You can now salvage items bought from a town vendor, but will receive a greatly reduced amount of resources from them, and no chance to gain skill.
• You can now automatically attempt to salvage objects inside of a container, just target a container or yourself to choose backpack.
• Wooden & Wood Kite shields have been moved to Carpentry recipes and now use wood to craft and are salvageable.
