New content and Functionality

New and improved allegiance commands and controls have been added to the game. You can read more about these changes here.

A new tier of the Runed weapons has been added to the game. This tier of weapons is geared towards characters in the level 120 range.

Rumors of more movement by the Essences of Magic have been passing through the Taverns of Dereth.

A Shadow Spire has appeared on the landscape. What could it mean and why has it appeared now?


Miscellaneous Changes and Improvements

Some areas were still spawning snowmen even though we are well into the warmer weather now. This has been resolved, and the snowmen have gone away for a while.

The Princely Runed wand was not casting its spell properly. When a player tried to use this item they got an error saying the item can't be used. This has been fixed and the baton should work properly

Some creatures were not dropping their trophy items upon death, such as the Sword of Lost Light. This problem has been resolved and everyone should be dropping the items they are supposed to upon death.

There was an issue with attempting to dye the shield of Power, Purple. Even though a player would get the success message the shield would appear whit when wielded. This has been fixed.

There were some inconsistencies in the way the @help Allegiance command worked. Those issues have been resolved and entering that command should bring you to the correct help files.

Some typos on the Dark Monolith quest have been fixed.

There was a bug that caused some new characters to loose their clothing items on their first death. This was not intended. We do not strip our new players naked the first time they die. That's just rude!

The scribe's Quill was supposed to cast Major Item tinkering, not Major Magic Item Tinkering. This has been fixed and the item now casts the proper spell.

The Olthoi Sentinel was not dropping its abdomen piece at the correct rate. The rate has now been adjusted and the piece should now be dropping at the correct rate.
