the letter. You must also write one letter to a mob you hate.

Rumor has it the Whitecloaks have begun training exercises in the graveyard

stop this from happening again.
o Sorry for the downtime, 3x exp is on for 3 days.

Tue Sep 27 17:09 (Oeneas) :: Multiplaying
It has come to the attention of the AoC staff that there are
several players connecting multiple times from the same IP/site.
In the past, we have made exceptions for family members and
roommates.
If you feel you are in this group, you're probably right. What
I ask for, to prevent confusion, is a mudmail to me stating
the reason you are sharing an internet connection, site, IP address.
Thank you for the cooperation, and as always enjoy the game!

Sun Dec 12 15:49 (Cadrach) :: Rift Demons
Balrogs are being updated and have temporarily been removed from
the game. Their 'stand-ins' have new names, but should work
generally the same way the rusty balrogs did before. These new
demons are not going to go away when balrogs come back.

oddities in either the pelting frequency or Candrel's lack of

Fri Nov 26 22:41 (Andor) :: Subrace Quest Question

-What times of day you play and are available

-Any zones/utilities/websites/etc that you've built for the mud in

o Hopefully fixed the dns thing that was causing the ......'s on log
on, preventing you from logging in. If that happens, wait until it

If this does happen to you, if you could mudmail me right away, so I
can investigate and know when it happened.

tweak strength

spell power of 0 when the bow itself crackles a spell. |
Mon Jul 12 21:58 (Andor) :: Create Potion

moon potion. |
Fri Jul 9 20:45 (Andor) :: Changes
Lots of changes for you all here:
o Items no longer have a spell level, but now a spell power. The
spell power is the percentage of your elements that the item will use
for casting the spell. Spells you cast yourself are the same as
before.
o Imbibe now gives a 25% spell power bonus to the potions you drink,
and the amount of drunkness has been reduced some.

applied.

o Removed the legacy 200 hp requirement for casting finger of death.

o Decreased the tracker xp penalty some.

o Added in some support code for tier 2 crafting.
o Fixed some more exploits. |
Tue Jun 8 22:38 (Andor) :: Mob Prog Fixes

broken since the mob mana change, let me know. I think I got them all. |
Thu Jun 3 21:42 (Andor) :: Changes
o There are now absolute caps on how much an item can tweak/twak.
These should be well above what any normal item could tweak to
anyways.
o The strength of create artifact is now based on the original stats
of an item, not its twak/tweaked stats. It'll still be able to
improve your items, but, not to the ridiculous levels that it could
before.
o Increased the rate of solo xp some. |
Tue Jun 1 21:17 (Andor) :: Fixes
Fixed some bugs with backstab and glancing blows. You should be able

o Fixed commands like: order fol give all andur not working on
charms other than the 1st one in your group.
o Fixed a wrap around bug with tweaks/twaks.
On next boot. |
Tue May 18 21:50 (Andor) :: Changes
o Low level mobs no longer have as much mana as before.
o Energy drain is no longer nearly so powerful with draining
mana/moves (wasn't noticeable before, and i doubt anyone ever landed
it on a player)
o Put back the battle ability info in consider |
Mon May 17 22:05 (Andor) :: Fixes
o Fixed absorb/reflect not working properly against mob spells all
the time
o Fixed the way held items were interacting with archery. Held +dam
items were hurting your chances to hit with archery, and held +hit
weapons had no ranged penalty. And held non-hold slot items were
always being subtracted from ranged hit/dam when they shouldn't have
been |
Thu May 13 14:15 (Rinn) :: Drain Essence
o On next reboot, the negative mana pool issue should not happen
o If this is still a problem let me know, through mudmail with the mob
you were fighting and the amount of mana it had.
Thanks,
Rinn |
Mon May 10 20:45 (Andor) :: Tweak Changes
A major revision of the tweak system is going into place here. The
first stage of this will see:
o The magnitudes of tweaks have changed, and will factor in the
difficulty of the zone. The higher level zones will have the
potential for bigger tweaks than the lower level zones.
o A twak will now produce larger positive affects on the affects that
were not decreased. Should create some interesting items.
o Ac-Apply on armor can now tweak somewhat. It won't make the item
magical, so you can still enchant acap tweaks.
o Create artifact now factors in your magical earth with regards to
the strength of the tweak it can produce.
o Heartstones are always capable of producing the largest tweaks.
o You can now pop small sized heartstones that produce lesser tweaks,
they are more common than the full sized heartstones.
Some further tweak changes will happen in the future. |
Mon May 10 17:35 (Rinn) :: Changes
o Mobs start with mana now - before they only had 10, now they get mana
based on their level - with a MIN of 300.
o The reason for the above is that mobs can no longer be drained into
negative mana. Meaning once they run out of mana, you will have to wait
for them to regen in order to drain them again. Or kill them and wait for
a reload.
o CONSIDER now displays mobs hps/mana/level due to the above changes.
o Report any bugs.

o Evade now always works and your wimp won't reset to max hp / 2
anymore
o Mimic'ed magical vestment should work now, it no longer creates a
restricted item. |
Mon Apr 26 09:54 (Rinn) :: Evade

your contact point, for things that go wrong, issues that need to be
solved etc.
o They will be handing out punishments as needed, and will be responsible
for watching over the other staff. Unless absolutely necessary, they
are the ones you should contact before Andor or Myself, on any in-game
issues.

Fri Apr 9 18:37 (Rinn) :: Changes
o Made some more modifications to slash, you should not see damage if slash fails now.
o Also modified the land percent a little bit more.
o FOCUS MANA - 1) increased the move cost, i had a '(' in the wrong spot it was supposed to cost much
more than it did.
2) you will no longer be able to cast heals/cures/or vigs on yourself while you are
focusing mana. you won't be to cast it on others either.
3) this means in order to cast heals/vigs/cures you'll have to focus release, and re-focus.
In on next boot, let me know if you see any problems. |
Thu Apr 8 14:33 (Rinn) :: Change
o I screwed up when I put the slash code in, prior to this people with
excellent dodge AND parry were getting royally screwed. This was not
supposed to be the case.
o The above mentioned problem is fixed.
o Also slash has a failure chance now, based on stab elements.
o And finally I modified the damage multiplier slash had, to make the
slashes less damage intensive.
o Remember slash is only possible if someone dodges or parries your
backstab!

Thu Dec 31 01:17 (Behring) :: Me
To those who still believe in me --I hope you all still do! :)--,
I want to first off apologize about my prolonged visible absence. It's not that I wasn't
here, but had other things going on in my life to keep me from being active or partaking
in general AoC activity. I talked to only a handful of you while I was, and am still, working
through things.
Back in September work had gone awry and I was spending day and night trying to find a job
while my other one was going "down the tubes." Then October I became officially unemployed
and was reworking my resume and applying at everything I could see and tweaked each app.
accordingly. Also, in late October I had to find a new place to live because I was no longer
with my significant other after almost 4 years... welcome depression. No job, had to find
a new place to live, and with limited money. Needless to say I'm the most broke I've ever been.
However, I did get employed in early November and am still able to keep a roof over my head.
I also am starting to see a turn for the better as far as my attitude about things is
concerned. I still struggle with sleep, maybe this is for everyone, but am feeling "better."
In light of the New Year, I promise to be around again, promoting events mainly and questing
when I can. Call it a resolution or whatever you will, I call it 'My best days are ahead of me.'
Also in light of the New Year, I'd like to give this little gift of some double XP/Heartstone
during the Blue Moon New Year's Eve (not the alcohol, a true blue moon [two full moons in one
month]. May the new year bring you the best days that you've ever had. All the best and
Happy Holidays.

do too much about, the mana we can calculate what it should be.
If you were affected by this, mudmail Andor (send a single mudmail
with all of your alts you want looked into), and I'll look into it.
If you are short mana, I can fix it.
If you lie to me or try to claim it twice, I will subtract another 25
mana. |
Wed Oct 14 15:39 (Rinn) :: Greegos / AK Mobs
o Greegos no longer sells EQ of the Week or -Age
o Guildmasters no longer teach AK's.
o Please speak with a Lord if you want any of the above mentioned things.
o The automation has been removed for a number of reasons : cheating,
and the inability to track who has what, are two of the biggest reasons.
Thanks,
Rinn |
Thu Oct 8 19:55 (Andor) :: Memory Leak Fixes
Fixed some nasty memory leaks in the mud, that hopefully will give us
a few more days of uptime before things go weird.
Let me know of anything strange you encounter, particularly with mob
progs. |
Thu Oct 1 08:49 (Rinn) :: x2 exp
on for 24 hours for the first of the month.

Sat Sep 26 19:39 (Andor) :: Mob Progs
We've been putting in a lot of fixes relating to mob progs recently.
If you find any broken mob progs, mudmail either me or Rinn with the
name of the mob, what you tried to do, and what happened. |
Thu Sep 24 11:31 (Rinn) :: DW CoD Cont.
o The warzone set of ZONES also includes clantowns, so DW's do not
go to clantowns either!
Thanks,
Rinn |
Thu Sep 24 11:25 (Rinn) :: DW CoD
o So I don't have to reply to anymore mailings about this. Here's what
I'm telling people.
o DW's will keep the ability to leave CoD early. This is there for a number
of reasons. As long as they are not going and doing zones or going back
into the warzone I have no problems with them being out.
o The purpose of CoD is not to keep you unspelled and whatever else I have
heard, the reason it is !magic is so people aren't casting area affect
spells in there. This is to protect against accidental deaths.

severance fee if you will. Mostly because it required time to build
the home.

who still owns a home and is still active. |

else he does.

Fri Aug 28 07:48 (Rinn) :: Recent Crashes
o The recent crashes that we are experiencing are the worst kind. The
kind we can't reproduce on the testports.
o Now what this means is that when we crash I need all the help I can
get from you guys. What mobs you were fighting, what you were doing,
were you in the clantowns...ect.

Thanks,
Rinn

problems. It will be removed until Andor or I can fix it.

my time restoring you guys, it will have to wait until tomorrow.
Sorry for the long wait on these things, hopefully it will be
worth it.

Sorry for the lost time, Rinn |
Thu Aug 20 10:28 (Rinn) :: Clantowns
o Clantowns should be finished by the weeks end maybe as early as tonight.
o What this means, is that you guys should expect a clan wipe sometime in
the near future.
o By clan wipe I mean: rank will be reset to 0, everyone will be without a
clan, and new/current leaders will be appointed/reappointed to lead their
former clans.
o I won't wipe leaderrank, if you happen to be the leader after the clanwipe
just let me know and i'll reset that as appropriate.

Thu Aug 20 00:05 (Rinn) :: Thief Change Two and Other
o Thanks to Jesuel for the great idea to make backstab viable again!

rather than a complete miss.

everyone else is now more likely to get stabbed.

nobody restarting the mud.
Nothing is wrong with the mud itself. |
Sat Aug 15 18:24 (Sharfor) :: Clanwar Results
Last May, Seanchan won a clanwar. They have since been effectively eradicated.
One hour of fighting occurred today, during which a dramatic battle raged.

o Items have a new bit - ITEM_NORECHARGE, which is noted as !RECHARGE if you id an item.
o This bit is only applied to a FEW wands and staffs (ie items you hold and cast stuff with)
o !RECHARGE means that the item can not be recharged by an arti or a shopkeeper
o Currently the only item that has this bit is the gravetrunk wand (still wand), more wands/staffs
