Ok ... Basically if you don't have the new anklet and you goto your

from your guard kicking your ass and throwing your ass out on the beach ...
This is to make it so PK's will not use your hall to their advantage ....
And use what you earned to help them ... So if your anklet name isn't
'saskia twinkling anklet dgerowqx' when you lore/identify it ... REPLACE IT
or your guard will whip your ass and throw you out on the beach if you dont
have it

Subject Quest Prizes to Expect{x~
Text
This note is for those of you wondering how the math will work for questing prizes. These will not change based on the length or type of quest, only based directly on the amount of players playing the quest.
Prizes will be awarded to the top players based on how many people are playing. Three minimum will win, five maximum will win. The basis for this is: players_participating / 3
If players_participating is less than or equal to fifteen
First - players_playing / 2 = IQ + AQ
Second - players_playing / 3 = IQ + AQ
Third - players_playing / 4 = IQ + AQ
Fourth - players_playing * 45 = AQ
Fifth - players_playing * 50 = plat
If players_participating is greater than fifteen or the quest is labeled as a bonus quest (posted a week in advance)
First - players_playing / 2 = IQ and random special/unique level 101
Second - players_playing / 3 = IQ and random special/unique level 90 to 100
Third - players_playing / 4 = IQ and random special/unique level 75-90
Fourth - players_playing / 5 = IQ + AQ
Fifth - players_playing / 6 = IQ + AQ
For those wondering the math simply means, with nine players participating, first would win 4 IQ and 150 AQ, second would win 3 IQ, and third would recieve 2 IQ and 75AQ (only the top three being rewarded).
Also, the reason First/Second/Third will not recieve AQ on bonus quests or if the players is greater than fifteen, as the random special/unique will be something worthwhile that will make up for the lost AQ.
Any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
-Rishiss

Okay. This is my news post. Listen carefully, there may be a test later.
{Y :: Basics::{x
So. As many of you may know, I pay for the mud to be hosted at Dune.net
on a monthly basis. What some of you may or may not know is, I bust my ass
on almost a daily basis so that you guys and gals can play, hang out with the
friends that you have made here over the 10+ years that it has been running,
over the god knows how many Implementors that have come and gone or assisted.

And now this version. I like this run. I feel good about it. I want to see it
go for more then a year or two. I like that we have had upwards of almost 20
people on at a high point again. It makes me feel good about things to come,
and gives a means to an end. It has helped me unwind in the past... I was
hoping that when Noghir came to me and asked me if I would run my copy again
that I would be able to get that feeling back. I was wrong... I don't get that
feeling of logging on and seeing happy people playing a mud that they love. No,
instead, I hear fourth handedly accusations of cheating. He said/she said high
school bullshit that makes me wonder why I am doing this again. And I log on to
hear about how My... Your immortals are doing stuff that in the end... Mostly
only benefits their mortal.
{Y ::On Power-Mongering::{x
I am sick and tired of logging on after busting my ass all day. Only to hear
about who did what. This Immortal has it out for me, this Immortal abuses their
powers. He did this, she did that. He did it, why can't I? Why did I get slayed
and he didn't when he did it too.
If an Immortal does something that they shouldn't. Note me.
If an Immortal is unjustly doing something to you. Note me.
If someone is cheating or has cheated. Seriously. Note me.
If I slay you, but don't slay someone who did the same thing. Then it is honestly
probably because i didn't know they did it, or I only saw you do it. I can't see
everything all the time. Neither can the other Immortals. We act on what we see,
hear, and get in notes. Do you know how much I love, logging on and hearing from
an immortal that is level 104 that so and so cheated, and that they heard it from
someone, who was told by someone else, that witnessed it? I love hearing about this
stuff fourth, for fifth hand... DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENED. How do you expect us to act
on something when anything that we could look for is now gone?
You complain we are unfair, unjust, or powermongers. We aren't. We can't act on
something that we don't know is going on. We can only enact upon what we see. We
can only look into what we are informed of.
{Y ::On Immortals::{x

As all of you know, Tas has come back on his own accord. What many do not know... He
has been redoing classes, as well as doing a massive amount of other things, some
that I don't even know what they do. He is redoing a lot of things, and one of those,
is rebalancing all of the classes. Maybe even changing some stuff up, and improving on
what is here. Tas has ideas. He is putting them in when he has spare time. The code is
being gone over, and looked at, and somewhat groomed. This takes time.
I want to know that you trust your immortal staff. Because without you, we have no point
in being here, and I have no need to host this place that has been home to many for more
years than I have been here. I have said it before, and I will say it again. As long as
you people are here to play, I will host this as long as I can.
Now, January our current host, Dune.net, is up for payment. I have found another place
that I am thinking of going to when this billing cycle is up. So we might have a small
amount of downtime in January. Shouldn't be that much, or that long though. It depends
on if I feel like switching hosting when it comes to that time.
Lastly, I want to know if there is anyone that is good with webpages to be the Webpage
Immortal. You would be in charge of creation and maintenance of the webpage. All those
that are interested, note us and we will choose the best candidate.
That is all I have for now. For those that read all of this. Good. You are doing your
daily reading of news, and are paying attention. Now you all know what is going on,
what your Immortal staff is doing, and have an idea of what's in store in the future.

Subject Enhanced Damage{x~
Text
If you haven't heard or seen already, you will, because there already is a nice collection{x
of gripes and moans. However, all those gripes and moans, don't really matter because its just{x
a players perspective and not one from seeing it all layed out.{x
{x
Its no secret or wonder, that the sheer melee power here is off the charts, a big part of that is{x
on top of all the class modifiers for damage we have it, enhanced damage is thrown on top. Its{x
a pure multiplier, which alot of coders fail to remember, so when they add something and{x
give it their own muliplier, the enhanced damage one stacks on top of it.{x
{x
Now if you look at showskill enhanced, first reaction is what the fuck was he thinking or this{x
immstaff doing. Castors and 1st/2nd tier have it, and I don't, thats fucked up. Well{x
to answer that, here is the reasoning.{x
{x
1st/2nd tiers kept it, to aid in their progression through the tiers, this is also due to{x
lack of diversity of the skills/spells of their class, by removing this now will only{x
hinder new characters, and does no harm to existing legends, as I seriously doubt{x
anyone will pk with a 2nd tier hero.{x
{x
The reason why all the castors who had it, kept it, is to help offset the huge degree of difference{x
in our melee and castor community. By removing it from them now, will significantly render{x
those classes useless in the pk community. Majority of those classes do not have{x
very many attacks or melee skills/output to overcome that of the current Melee Orientated classes{x
here.{x
If any of you have been in a pk fight here, it lasts maybe 3 rnds. At best by allowing{x
them to keep enhanced damage for the time being, might bring them closer to winning but{x
definately isn't going to be the deciding factor. Also out of those classes that still have{x
it, most are not even played, so I really don't see the point in arguing about it.{x
{x
Bards kept it, because alot of their songs are broken, and their damage output is nothing compared{x
to their counterparts, with this, they are most likely on the same page now.{x
{x
In time all classes will have enhanced damage removed, and replaced by more productive type{x
skills and or spells, which serve more then just a oh your this class, lets boost some damage.{x
{x
So in short. This change overall brought the opposite ends of the spectrum, of Melee to{x
Castor closer for the time being, as more skills/spells put in. And each class will have{x
their own twist on things in ways to increaes their damage output.{x

Just some things want to say, might save some of you some time. I'm an Imp here, and{x
also basically the Lead/Head Coder. So I have access to anything and can do anything just about{x
unless Digaaz, which pays for the server wants it a specific way. {x
{x
So with that said, I've also played here since damn near day 1 of this codes existence, which{x
is either damn near close to 15 years if it isn't already. I love this place, always came back{x
to play it, no matter who was running it at its time. I've seen good things, and I've seen{x
bad. So with that knowledge I plan on putting those things that were good here, and those{x
that were bad not anywhere close. Now when we 'opened' I wanted to make sure focus was removed{x
until we could work on it make it better, and more balanced, toward the newb or established.{x
Well that obviously didn't happen, so as I put in new things or adjust, those that were here{x
2 months ago when it opened, or there abouts, yeah got a nice big head start on the focusing.{x
then the newbie who starts now. But it does start to taper off around 15-20 levels after that{x
a newbie can catchup in levels pretty quick.{x
{x
The other things was the babbles, basically free iq, especially with the insane equipment{x
you guys had until recently with Fesdor coming back. So yes older characters had the advantage{x
of using that rigged system. Not much can do about it, except try to curve it now so we{x
continue in a downward spiral.{x
{x
Balance was and still is the biggest issue this mud has faced over the years, and instead{x
trully dealing with it, because most previous owners feared losing the pbase or I should code{x
this cause its needed, but so and so will hate me, wouldn't code balance, or looked the{x
way to certain things. And even still more just added to the problem, with possibly trying to{x
balance, by giving a class that didn't do as much damage, a skill that did even more, which{x
yeah made them able to compete, but now the next class needs something better, and we began{x
the upwords battle in adding in bigger higher dam stuff, meanwhile our characters HP{x
pretty much stayed the same...if you don't see a problem with this, then I really don't{x
know what to say to you.{x
{x
So I'm going to be doing what I can coding wise to bring this mud to what I think is {x
a balanced playable mud, where pk skill will matter in pking, as opposed to which skill{x
hits the hardest and spam to win. And Fesdor will be doing all he can to assist me in{x
balanced ideas to code, as well as making sure no objects are just retarded for lack of{x
better terms.{x
{x
{x
So if your a new here and reading this, enjoy you'll learn to love this place{x
like everyone did, and hopefully soon for the balanced reasons and fun atmosphere.{x
If your an older asgardian here and enjoy the 1 skill kill stuff, well I'm sorry{x
but your days are numbered, as I get around to all classes. You'll need more than{x
1 brain cell to play here, and not rely on triggers and macros and just have it easy{x
all the time. You guys have been spoiled to much for way to long and the buck stops here{x
I'm an IMP, and damn well going to act like one and not just cave in. So either hate{x
me or love me, either way I'm doing this for the players all players. Enjoy the mud{x
and any ideas please post them, I do read them and adding more and more to my list, but{x
I'm only 1 guy, with a wife and kid so yeah, i'll leave it at that. {x

Dusk has been here as long, if not longer than most all of you. He knows
what needs revising, what is useless, what's overpowere, and who doesn't
like what. He has been involved in the ideas and heard all the complaining
over the years. Balancing takes time. He isn't paid to do this, so it's
done in his free time. If/When Tas gets back, things will be getting redone
faster, and more timely. But until then, you need to be patient. For those
of you that quit... Fine. You will never see the grand plan outlayed. I
have seen the code, and I have a good theoretical idea of where everything
is going. And I am curious to see how it will work. I think it will be a
good place. With lots of new things for you all to experience when it's all
said and done. For those that disagree... I can't really say I am sorry,
because I'm not. You all have grown accustomed to one version of this mud,
and don't like changes. Well, changes are needed to keep with the times.
Hell... I was half tempted to just have Tas throw in his code from pre-tier
3, just because I think that was the best times I had at Asgard. But, not
everyone would agree. Change is coming. Change is happening. If you don't
like it... Then I'm sorry for your ignorance, but change needs to happen.
That's all I have to say on this matter. Thanks to those that bear with us.

Some are not happy with some of the new code, like the lag on failed flee; the problem with cooldown giving you spam of skills/spells you don't have, ect..{x
With Dusk about to be on less then he has been, i am going to take over coding full time again. This means a few things.{x
First, we will continue to strive for balance, however we will not do this at the expense of the player base. Meaning, that the flee lag fail will be removed soon, and the cooldown will be fixed.{x
We are also coding in blood trails and bleeding. This will be for tracking, and make vorpal more worth it, along with giving vamps something to drink along the way :){x
We have new area's opening and there will be no more DRASTIC code changes for the moment. I will endeavor to fix the things that people do not like right now.{x
On that note, i want a note from anyone/everyone who doesn't like what aspect of the game. Wheither that be a bit of code, or a skill, or an area, or eq.{x
Players come first. Period. We will balance things within the guidelines that you guys give us. We will ofcourse have final say on things, but you will be fully informed at every juncture, and we will try VERY hard to make the things you, the play{x

It just came to my attention that you can kill yourself for a ghost flag.
Until I fix it, anyone caught doing so will be punished severely.

Few minor rule add on's.....{x
There are certain rules that it has been brought to my attention that can be somewhat circumvented without immortal knowledge.{x
So i am going to kick that in the ass right now.{x
Rule Addition #1:{x
No NONPK that has a PK alt will be allowed to give or sell or trade eq to ANYONE in a PK clan.{x
This is to prevent people from random hunting and questing on a NOPK, giving the eq to a clanmate or selling it, then deleting and getting that eq back on their PK alt.{x
I'm quite litterally at the end of my rope with all the bullshit i have to deal with now. I get 40 notes about cheaters and bullshit every day, and usually NONE pan out.{x
This rule will kill any loopholes in transfering EQ. If i see it, and i read the logs EVERY day, your gone. Nuked. Both your NOPK and PK and any other charictor that i deem is yours.{x
That was pretty much the only new rule addition for this second, but with the amount of bullshit i see and hear every day, i'm sure it won't be the last addition that you all hate.{x
Bree, let the bitching begin.{x

I would just also like to point out, that if i took everyone's accusations of cheating at face value, pretty much 3/4 of the mud would get nuked immediately.{x
I say that for two reasons, one: So you'll think before you even consider exploiting a loop hole or cheating. {x
And two: To impress upon you the fact that if we lose that many players at once, or even half that, the mud will probably shut down almost immediately.{x
So think about those two things before you decide to cheat or accuse someone of cheating without any type of proof or even seeing it happen.{x
Police yourself. We did this for YEARS. With LITTLE to NO cheating.{x
This is how we need to be again if we are to survive as a community.{x

Subject Future Plans{x~
Text
As most of you already are aware, i am coding in new classes and skills and spells to go along with said classes.{x
There will be one for each of the 3rd tier class groups.{x
That being said, we have a slight dilemma in that department. These new skills/spells are slightly better then the norm 3rd tier ones. Now obviously i can tune them down if i have to but instead of adding a new 3rd tier option with these{x
classes we could make a 4th tier.{x
We are also kicking around the idea of allowing you to keep your focus levels if we imp a 4th tier with these new classes.{x
I would like to know if you would rather have a 4th tier or more 3rd tier options{x
These changes obviously won't be completed and imped for a few weeks at the minimum, considering the several thousands of lines of code this is going to end up taking.{x
So let me know what you think{x

Subject clan limits{x~
Text
Due to the creation of a new clan, the Immortal staff feels that the clan limits should be reduced back to 5 members per clan.{x
Also, the following rules will be enforced on clans also{x
1) Only 1 clan leader per clan{x
2) only 1 vice leader per clan{x
I'm in the process of creating a rank system that will make rank mean something, and also give slight, very slight, bonus in some of the stat's department.{x
Also considering a blue diamond bank for clans.{x
Clans with more then 5 members in them will have one week to make the appropriate arrangements to bring the clan back to within new limits.{x

Subject class replacement{x~
Text
As i have mentioned in the past, we have several options on how to imp these new classes.{x
We can remove one class from each tier 3 group and replace it with one of the new classes.{x
This option is favorable simply because the less classes we have the less problems we have and there is less to maintain.{x
Also it frees up memory{x
If we do that, i would like to know what class everyone thinks should be removed from EACH group in the 3rd tier.{x
This is important. Because if we do this, those of you who are the class that gets removed will obviously have to pick a new class. We will advance you to 101 and reset your skills/spells levels.{x
Unless ofcourse you choose to become the new class, in which case you will have to level again the normal way.{x
Again these class additions are a few weeks away so, the earlier the input i get, and the more i get, the better.{x

Text
Ok i think we need to clear up a few things about notes and which proper spools are to be used.{x
If you have an idea/suggestion/problem/critizim of a skill/spell/immquest/area/ect.. You use the Idea spool.{x
If you are noting a player, or something that isn't covered about, but it is something the entire mud should know, Or if you are noting Immortal, you would use the Note Spool.{x
Btw, if you are posting a note to Immortal, keep these things in mind:{x
{y1.{x I am extremely busy, i simply do note have the time to sift through countless retarded notes that i don't want to even look at in the first place.{x
{y2.{x If you post your note to only one Immortal, it may be a very long time, if ever, that you will receive a response. This is because the average Immortal collects more junk notes in a day, then most hotmail accounts get spam in a week.{x
All we're trying to do is optimize our time here. If i know i don't have time to look at new ideas or bitching on old ones, i won't read Idea's until i have the time to sit down and go through them.{x
Also please re-read the note spool before you suggest ideas that i am already implementing or have already rejected. This way you don't think im simply ignoring you when i don't respond. {x
Ofcourse i usually do ignore you all anyway, it's a skill.{x

okay, i'm pretty sure that about 98% of the messed up pfiles are replaced with backups or deleted in the case of the char being newer then 21 days.{x
But do remember that if you finger a player, and the mud crashes, note Immortal with the name(s).{x
Now then, onto current affairs. If your pfile was one of the ones that had to be replaced, you may now begin to note Immortal with the following:{x
Learned %, Stance %, Aqp, Missing Aesir/Unique.{x
{R*{B({xMissing Randoms will be replaced {YLAST{x. Meaning after everyone has their stats/aesir/unqiques that they are missing. This is because randoms take us a while to 'pop' when we're trying to load a specific type. It will take time.{B){R*{x{x
Also only Kain myself and Digaaz will be doing eq restores, so don't ask one of the builders, they can't help you. And I will inform you when to post your list of Randoms.{x
