- [--New Features--]
- Necromancy - FINALLY DONE! Thanks to Jorus necromancy is finally up and running and kicks serious ass. Continuous updates and additions are expected as this is balanced. Necromancy also uses it's own skill called Necromancy which has nothing to do with magery. The skill is so mysterious the only way to see your exact rating is via necromancy spellbook. Below are a list of the spells.
Light - 4 candles surround you so you can always see in the fight.
Magic Armor - Still being developed
Drain Stamina - A chance to drain all of your foes stamina.
Reconstruct - Reconstruct you broken limbs.
Web - Target a foe to surround them in a circle of webs.
Total Protection - Gain the protection of multiple spells.
Hallucination - A great spell used in pvp to make your foe go crazy.
Drain Mana - Drain the mana of a foe and restore your own.
Fire Bolt - Send a bolt of fire towards your foes.
Drain Health - Drain the health of a foe to restore your own.
Summon Undead - Summon the dead to help you in your battle
Necro Spirits - Summon a strong spirit to this world but be careful it may attack you.
Animate Dead - Resurrect a dead foe under your command.
Death Flame - A flame enchanted with death to do great amounts of damage to your foes.
Resurrection - Resurrect a dead companion but at a loss of some of your life force
Undead Rage - Summon the power of your immortal god to give you strength to destroy your foe
- New Runecodes - 5 new runecodes have been added...I wonder where they go?
[--Server Changes--]
- Memory Added - An additional 256megs of SDRAM have been added to the server. This is necessary as our world continues to grow.
- Network Datalink - We have made some major changes in the route the server is connected to the internet. This will hopefully speeds things up considerably.
Thanks again Jorus!

And I'll translate into English :
This server is just one huge journey up (or something like that )

lol - Yeah, that's the direct, word for word, translation...But basically it's slang for something along the lines of:
So far my experiences on this server have been good, and as far as I can tell, things are only getting better...

I've noticed that some of my necro spells don't work right. I was watching a new necro cast light in town, and he gets the candles, when I cast it, it works like night sight does. I made my necro a while back, long before the patch was fixed. Could it be that because I'm older the spells don't work right. (I can't summon necro spirits, and a few other spells don't even work at all, I'm kind of cunfused here).

I was testing it today, and for the most parts, it seems balanced... since there's a very high mana cost, and spells require really high amounts of skill. Also, the gains are very very very very slow. But it seems good that way. That way we'll not have GM necros in a week.

Yeah I'm still waiting on my necromancy to be fixed up. For the most part it seems like alot of fun. My only gripe is that switching books on the fly can be pretty nuts sometimes. If only there was a way to combine the spells into one book, or put the necro spells in the in game macros. All in due time I suppose.

I'm still all for taking away ALL mage spells from necros, since mages don't get only low level necro spells

If there would be some balance yeah, sounds good. Necros should have less spells, but like, they can't afford to have pointless ones. Just a few healing spells, damage spells, enough to make them a threat. It's hard to cast super quick when you gotta open up your book every time.

They do have less magic capability than a full mage...Their magery is capped at 80, so while they might get off a force 7 or 8 now and again, it's never gonna be anywhere close to reliable...
