Re: new ter'angreal idea

Ways to avoid the taint entirely are un-bookish and we have gone to great lengths to make MCs both playable even while extremely tainted but dangerous to be around. The taint revamp was, by far far far, the largest set of code changes made since maybe the 90s. We care a lot about this being fun but ...

Re: Faceoff Changes

Interesting side effect of the face-off changes. It's hard to say if this was the intended behavior all along or not, but it does seem overly punishing. I've submitted a code change that will make the mobs no longer instantly aggro when walking into the room, and instead aggro at the next hunting or...

Faceoff update

A change to fix some bugs with faceoff is live. It fixed scenarios where multiple mobs can bypass faceoff (usually via assist) and all end up on the same person. You can see an example log of this happening here, where all the mobs end up on Zarg: https://forums.wotmud.info/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=675&...

Re: For those who rejoice in death

I'm removing the ability to hold it, fyi. Axxye pointed that out to me and it's an oversight on my part since it gets around the high costs+short window combo.

Rent Withdraw, Character Auto-Deletion, and Bug Fixes

As of the next reboot: You can use RENT LIST, RENT WITHDRAW and RENT SELL when you have no-quit. This will allow you to pull items out to re-eq yourself or a friend, and look at what you have stored. We still don't permit storing items because we don't want players to stash items when they have no-q...

Re: Stab on ride 5+

I updated the announcement to clarify (I should have included this at the outset but forgot): you CAN still stab and charge a horse if the rider isn't in combat. If the rider is in combat, regardless of with who (whether e.g., the stabber or something else entirely), then the stabber can't get an op...

Code changes: Riding and horse bashing/stabbing/etc, Slow, and bug fixes

Riding and horse bashing/stabbing/charging With level 5+ Ride, you will turn your mount to protect it against being bashed, stabbed, or charged. (This is invisible to the rider to protect against unnecessary spam, similar to if someone tries to engage you while you are max-engaged already: but thes...

Loophole abuse with fade quest (now fixed)

Sadly it seems someone has figured out a loophole with the fade quest. I will explain how it works, so that you do not do it until I get a fix in place. As a reminder, the way you earn altqps towards fading as a trolloc master with 1500+ qps is you: 1. Must be leading a group of trollocs (and they m...
