Forums:
-- Previous changelog un-stickied, can be found Here.

Fixed Bugs:
-- Dying in house areas transporting to wrong areas.
-- Tutorial Bug Abuse fixed - Those responsible have been sacked
-- Ankhs now properly ressurect and give option to teleport to proper islands.
-- Blood Can be picked up - Not advisable to handle, blood now carries diseases and behaves like a proper liquid.
-- Fixed bug involving a spoon, a horse, and a bottle of castor oil, that resulted in decapitated player. (feeding bug caused animal to attack)

Planning:
-- Discussed final proposed skillgain setups with broadband. A bit more number crunching then new rates to gain go in.
-- Did preliminary look at crafting skill layouts. Might schedule this weekend to be a noncombat work weekend. Depends on schedule



Looked at Bug Reports:
-- polymorphed players cannot get into houses
-- -- Answer: Get bigger doors, daemons are a bit bigger than humans.
-- -- Unsure on whether this feature will remain, will ask broadband's opinion on it.
-- House placement is unbelievably difficult
-- -- Answer: Set difficulty to more believable level.
-- Golems are hats (known since installer was made)
-- -- Answer: Broadband goofed on installer, will try to get an updated file out sometime this weekend
-- Cannot sell fish steaks
-- -- Answer: Most people don't like buying pre-cooked food. This is not walmart.

New Stuff:

--Crystal Balls have gotten an update, and now will tell you how much time left to decay kills if you have kills.
--Skilltest - new player command, will turn on (for 5 minutes, or till command is used again) the skill test message, which will alert you if an action cannot gain you skill due to low difficulty

Balance Adjustments:

--Magery - chance to fizzle while hit was adjusted, and damage limit required was reduced.
--Monster Difficulty(gold) formula updated with new method of determining the difficulty of magic wielding monsters.
--Skill Gain Formulas - Most have been adjusted to reflect new difficulties. Almost everything should be easier, and around final difficulties, barring a few tweaks in crafting.

Bug Fixes:

--War Forks - Were mistakenly showing up as macing weapons for damage, now give proper damage as fencing. (you'll notice bigger hits sometimes)
--Skeletal monsters (horses, shades, etc) - corpse cutting was giving wrong bones, now drops the correct type of bones.

Game Clarifications:

--Skill bonus is for every 6 months the character has existed. It is NOT AGE/6, since age starts at 20. It's (AGE-20)/6. Someone who is 44 gets 4 bonuses, since 44-20 is 24, and 24/6=4.

Content Addition:

-- Christmas content has been added. Let it snow!
-- -- Keep in mind that most things made of cold melt away when temperatures get warmer. So use them before then!

Bugs Fixed:

-- Wrong teleporters should work
-- Buffs and debuffs should once agian show up on the buff/debuff screen
-- All classes should now be able to identify weapons, regardless of whether they can equip them
-- Tailor dyes should now work properly
-- -- Removed duplicate dye entry for beige/light brown. Beige got to stay.

Time Wasted:

Balance Adjustment:

-- Crafting a special dye now has a small failure rate to match up with other crafted items.
-- Sheep should now only give a little more wool dead than alive.
-- -- Reason: You can cut a little closer when you don't have to worry about killing it, but not enough to get 5x the wool.

Balance Adjustment:

-- Passive anatomy gains during combat removed.

Bugs Fixed:

-- Potion kegs should work as expected. If you find otherwise, consult your nearest trash bin or GM
-- Minor bug in stealth skill with login/out.
-- Magic weapons doing 2x anatomy bonus damage.
-- Wall potions should conform to height a little better (and block spells better).
-- Orcs should no longer show up with blue karma. Eating cats is bad.

-- House placement has been altered to conform with the old system.
-- -- Trees are ignored for placement purposes, all other terrain is checked. If you put a tree through your house, it is your fault.
-- -- House still checks the entire multiregion for bumpiness, but is a bit more forgiving about fluctuations.
-- -- You may now place houses next to each other(but not overlapping).
-- -- Failure to report bugs with the new placement system will result in huge penalties. Report bugs if you find them immediately. Only warning.



Reports Checked:

-- Barber in britain refusing to cut hair
-- -- Given a stern talking to and new pair of scissors, was on strike due to old pair being broken.

-- Animals make it hard to move. Can't walk through them.
-- -- Animals told to behave themselves, however they are not ghosts, and so take up space.
-- -- Monsters refuse to step aside to let humans through because they don't step aside to let each other through either.

-- Int gains faster
-- -- Compared with old shard. Gains are the same. Or the server got too many int gains, became sentient, and is screwing with you.

-- As an act of god, everyone has 0 kills to start the new year out. Everyone also knows the penalty for killing, and how long kills take to decay. So plan accordingly. As always you can check your kills and time to decay kills at a crystal ball.

-- -- You now are immune to armor spellcast for a very short duration after you fail to cast a spell due to armor
