Added STEAL as a mob action for builders to make use of, so watch out ;)

2000-06-04

Some damage spells don't allow victim to make saving throwing. Slay and Word of Death being among them.
Experimental: mana regen does not go down with age, it keeps climbing. Hit regen and move regen will still start to go down once you get too old.

2000-06-07

When you polymorph, you'll keep your real Intelligence and Wisdom.
A new spellcasting change. Some spells will automatically be cast more then once as you go up in levels (without costing extra mana).
Reducing the mana regen a bit. Not a lot though, but it's probably noticable.

2000-06-12

As a result of the above fix, you can only cast 'rotting flesh' on a mob once at a time.
The negative 700 Hit point bug should be fixed. Please report if you see it again.
The downside is, if a spell becomes semi-perm, you cannot memorize (or pray for) it until you've completly forgotten it, then it is no longer semi-perm. Confused yet? hehe...
Wizards and Priests have undergone some changes. The more you have a spell in memory, the higher the chance it will become 'semi-permanant'. What does this mean? You only have a small chance of forgetting a 'semi-perm' spell, the chance to forget is higher the less spells you have memorized.

2000-07-05

Lots of bug fixes, and reworked some stuf relating to psionic powers. Let me know if there's any problems with psionicists.

Put/Get from a container is now blocked by NOSPAM

2000-08-12

When the news or changes have been updated since you last read them, you will see NEWS and/or CHANGES in your prompt until you read them.
If you follow someone you're following again, you will get moved to the back of the group (useful to protect newbies from aggressive mobs).
If the leader of a group follows someone in the group, the group will be re-ordered to be following that person.

2000-08-20

2000-08-21

Changes to Olympus have been made to some more mobs.
The beloved okonomiyaki cake has been changed. It's now a food item that cures you when eaten.
If you are affected by NO_HUNGER or NO_THIRST, when you eat or drink something it can full you up now. You still do not get hunger or thirsty while affected by them however.

2000-10-22

The okonomiyaki cake has been changed again. It now casts cure critic, but costs 3x the price.
PSP regen now goes up with age, instead of peaking and going back down.
Added QSAY to SETCOLOR.
Small bug in regen fixed.
Area affect spells will now destroy all mirror images on you! (and the spell will hit you!)

2000-10-28

We're introducing the concept of remort "points". Every time you remort you get 3 points. Changing your class is 1 point, each stat increase is 1 point, and resetting age is 2 points (so you can still increase a stat 1 point, or change your class if you want to reset your age). The idea being, as we add the new options to remort that are in the works, some may cost more then 3 points, so you will need more then 1 remort to get an option.
You don't even have to specify a stat if you don't want to, you can just specify a new class, or nothing at all. Typing "remort remort" will remort you "as-is" with no inreases, changes to class, etc.
"remort int int remort" (****NOTE: specifying your class is optional now, You will keep your current class.) That will add 2 points to INT as you remort.
If you want to add two points to a stat, you can do:
"remort cleric int wis remort" If you want to add one point to your INT and another to your WIS.
The remort command has changed. Type "remort" when you have the experience to do so. You will se a list of things you can chose when you remort. The most major change you'll notice right now is that you can do things like:

2000-11-15

Last 10 tells you receive are also saved. Just type "tell" to view them. If you leave the game, the saved tells are lost.
The last 10 gossips, newbies, musics, gratz, and holler are saved. To view them just type "gossip" or "newbie" without anything.

2000-11-24

Old Thalos has undergone some changes. First, you can no longer get to it from the "Galaxy" book. Second, the DT's are not longer DT's, they're just rooms. Other then that, highlights are, some room descriptions changed, mobs changed, assemble quests added, a few objects modified... that basically sums up the changes (everything?). happy exploring :)

2001-02-06

Recall devices no longer work in combat.

2001-02-13

You will need to reset your wimpy, it's been defaulted to 25%.
Also, WIMPY changed. You now specify at what % of hp you have left to flee. I.e. if you have 200 hp, and set your wimpy to 50, you will flee at 100hp.
Originally, a RESISTANCE ment you only took half damage from what you're resisant against. Now items give a % resistance. If your item has a RES_FIRE of 20, then the item absorbes 20% of fire damage. If you wear another item that has 5% RES_FIRE, then that's a total of 25% damage you don't take.
Resistances/Weakness/Immunities have changed. Now there is really only Resistances. A negative resistance means you're weak.

2001-02-27

A few items here and there to take advantage of previous changes.

2001-04-24

Added "Most Remorts" to the Stats section of the web page.

Order that some things happen during a tick has been moved around, so that PSP regen comes before PSP Maintaince costs are taken.

2001-07-08

The object file format for the world has been rewritten. Please report any problems with items that you encounter.

2001-07-12

Some of you may notice that you received a message when you logged in regarding questpoints.

A necromancer word of death is now nearly as powerful as a wizard/sorcerer.
Lots of typo fixes in code and socials.

Fixed bug where if a spell cast on an item (like sanc) wore off, you didn't see the message if if you were wearing the item.

2001-08-17

Other little tid-bits here and there...
Fixed a problem with the spells and skills commands in regards to anti-paladins. You can now type "spells anti-paladin" or "spells antipaladin" to get a list of Antipaladin spells (previously you actually had to type "spells apaladin")
Usual round of bug fixes...

2001-08-23

Make sure it's empty, and do not mix potions! Mixing a potion with a different potion, or another drink like water or beer will ruin the entire thing.

We now have the ability to set a player to "block" a social. If you find a social to be offensive to you, or someone is abusing you with it, you can petition that it be blocked from being used on you. Then any attempt to use the social on you either on gossip, or in the room, will be stopped. Note: This will not stop the social from being used on someone else in the same room as you, or on someone else on gossip.

2003-02-15

There's a couple new remort options in town. Races. that's right, you heard me, races. They are dwarf and elf. They cost 5 remort points to pick, but they have their benefits and handicaps. See the help for ELF and DWARF for details about them.

2003-02-23

Added message history to gsay/gtell. It's not colored, I forgot and I'm too lazy to fix it right now. I'll get it later.

2003-03-02

There have been some changes made to deathtraps. Happy exploring!

2003-03-07

Unfortunatly, with the major changes we're doing, some things may not work correctly, or be missing (exits, recall devices, shops, etc). We're going to give everyone a month to get back with us about any problems with your rooms, after which, any changes or "corrections" will be done at the appropriate cost. (We have backups available to reference any reported problems before we fix them, so do be honest).
New housing prices/policies will be posted when our work is completed, and then all pending housing requests will be taken care of.
With the major reorganization, comes some changes also. First, we no longer will allow rooms to connect to each other. That means you can't connect rooms that don't belong to you to yours. Secondly, there will be no connections to/from clan rooms and personal rooms. Third, we are limiting housing to one per person, not per character. People with multiple houses have been consolidated, and the multiple entrances have been removed.
As most of you already know, we're in the process of making major housing changes. When your housing has been moved, you will be able to get to it by going to the Refreshment Room, then north, to get to the new housing. There is a book to read, that will have instructions on what to do.

2003-03-12

Please use the REQUEST command to report any housing problems (in detail) for now.

2003-03-24

!PRIEST and !WIZARD flags have been added to the game. As the flag(s) are added to any item you have, it will automatically get that flag. During the transition, !CLERIC will still block priests, and !SORC will still block wizards. We'll notify when this changes.

2003-03-30

You now can see in "attrib" what things are affecting you that are not spells. Like enhanced dam or fly from an item you're wearing. This does not mean it ONLY shows affects from objects, but it includes them.
You can now "teleport" while fighting.

2003-03-31

The Ethiopian kid in Midgaard can redeem all quest ribbons now. Previously he apparently could only do 5 point ribbons.
There was a bug that allowed people to cut link and have a "reset deserted" zone be able to reset. That little trick doesn't work anymore.

2003-04-05

The Academy been changed. You no longer relocate to Savage. The way to him has been changed. We will leave it as an exercise to the players to figure out the new way.

2003-04-06

It has been talked about many times, and the change has finally been made. Relocate now only works on players. This was the reason for the change to the Academy below. Yes folks, you have to start learning where to walk more.
A new remort option has been added. A spell called Lloyd's Becon. Please See the help for REMORT and LLOYDS BEACON for more information.

In "clan info", the app-fee, and treasure are formatted with comma's for readability.
Any priests that remort for lloyd's beacon from now on will pray for it instead of use mana.
Any wizards that remort for lloyd's beacon from now on will memorize it instead of use mana.

2003-05-22

Room requests will *ONLY*, I repeat *ONLY* be done if you use the REQUEST command to ask for changes. If you try to send a tell directly, mudmail (or any other method of communication) one of the immortal staff for room or recall item related changes, you will either be ignored, laughed at, or killed for being a dork, and possibly denied all future requests for changes.

2003-05-24

There was a bug that caused rtell to crash the mud. That has been fixed.
Because of other eq available in the game, rainbow charms are now !ninja. Note: Currently owned charms will NOT become !ninja.

2003-06-02

There is a new command called BUILD for those of you that own housing. Build is a command that will be ever growing in capabilities for you to make changes to your own housing for a smaller fee, instead of requesting us to make the change for you. It allows you to do things from changing a room description, to creating a new room, to creating a hometown exit in a room. Look at the help for BUILD for all the details. Type "build prices" to see what the prices are. Currently it can do only room related changes, but more things like custom objects, and mobs and shops will be added over time.

2003-06-04

This is really important, so please pay attention. Kharas has CHANGED. You do NOT give him the items anymore when you forge something, he will TAKE them from you. Also, if you're still with him when he is done, he will hand you the finished item instead of dropping it.

Help: Updated the DEATH TRAP help.

2003-07-18

Help: Redid PRESERVE CORPSE. The spell is still the same, the help just looks nicer now.

The Great Pyramid in the desert has been moved also. Currently the only way to get to it is through Rome out to the Scandezi desert.
Moved Rome to a new section of the world. Currently the only way to get to it is via the Metro until we've finished building up that area of the world.

2003-08-03

And Dragonlance too.
There's also a new area in around there too. Feel free to explore, and see the sights. It's all part of the "new world order".

2003-12-05

If you die when you are at that "1 exp to level 31", there is only a 1% chance of losing experience. But you better hurry up and get that exp back if you do loose any, or next time you die all bets are off.
When you have auto-level on or off, you will not gain any more experience beyond the 1 experience to get to level 31. Some people were getting too much experience, which would have been bad, so this was the fix.

2003-12-07

Bikini Bottom has been relocated to the new ocean.
It's all part of the New World Order (I think).
The docks south of Adrilankha now connect to the new ocean. So please be aware if you have any aliases to take you through there that you'll wind up somewhere else. The zones that you won't be able to walk to anymore will be relocated.

Added the population count of each hometown to the "Stats" page on the website.

2003-12-26

Added to the "Links" page of the website, ZMud version 4.62 for download. A lot of people swear by this version, so we decided to put it on the website to make it easier for players to download.
We modified some code relating to hit points. Let us know if you see anything "funny". Don't ask what "funny" is, we don't know either.

2003-12-27

Added Race to the listing of the members of your group when typing "group".
Changed the "maintain" command so that the total PSP's being maintained shows a grand total, instead of separate totals for what's being maintained on the caster, and what's being maintained on others.

This means that now you can rent mudmail, which is only one of many things to come from this new code.

1998-04-26

Rent has been converted over to the new system. The conversion went painlessly, but backups have been made in case of problems. Please report anything that doesn't look right with your eq, either to a God that is online or mudmail Brazil.

1998-08-04

Newbie zone and Chessboard have been relocated in order to make room for new changes and/or new zones. All a part of the New AddictWorld Order!

1998-09-14

It's been talked about for a few weeks, and has pretty much caused people to put clans on hold until it's completed, well, it's done! The new clan system is in. What does that mean for you? On the surface, a more stable system, no who lists getting botched up, and things like that. The new system is pretty flexable, so I think everyone will be happy with it. (Existing clans had to be deleted, but they will be re-created in the new system FOC).

1998-09-16

A "true" leader of a clan (someone with access to the leader commands), their rank will show up in &gGREEN&n when doing a "clan who".

1998-11-11

1998-11-15

When insetting something, if the min level of the gem is greater then the min level of the weapon, the new min level of the weapon reflects the min level of the gem.

1998-11-15

New command, it's a little complicated. It's a 'forum' system. For starters, it is going to replace the Idea board. Don't know if it will replace any other boards, not likely. Please read the help for FORUM before asking any questions. Any ideas to smooth out the use of this command are welcome. (Or any suggestions for changes to the helpfile to make it more understandable).

1998-11-22

When a forum has a new message that you have not read, when you list forums or the 'tree', the number of messages in that fourm will be green. Also, when listing messages in a forum, any messages that you have not read will be green.

Ninja skill, barehand attack. Based on level, and how well you know it. you cannot practice this skill, you automatically know it at 5% when you remort, and it increases in skill as used. If wielding a weapon, damage will come from the weapon, and it does not increase your skill at all.

Last vestigal traces of super sanc are gone. (Nuke likely to follow).

1997-12-04

Re-activated Zone idle. Which means if a zone is empty for a while (exact time is based on the zones reset time, with a minimum of the time it takes for a corpse to decompose) all mobs and items are removed from the zone until someone enters it.

If anything else is missing let the appropriate department know. (Skill messages fall under Brazil's department)

2000-05-23

Added the ability for a weapon to be elemental based. For example, a Fire Sword may do "fire damage" to a mob.

2000-05-23

Bug seeing sanc fixed.

2000-05-29

This is an experiment that will no doubt be permanant, but has to be tested somehow. Regen is what you might call different (for mana only, as a test case, HP and movement will follow if this works out). Instead of regaining a large amount of mana every tick, the amount you regen has been divided up over the span of a tick. What does this mean?

1999-05-15

1999-08-28

1999-09-08
