Area Updates

·888 words·5 mins

Greetings

I am happy to announce that your immortal staff will be undergoing a review of existing areas

in the game that have existed for a while, and seem to have been left behind in our ever-moving

forward and progression of the game. As time passes, somethings get left behind and stagnate.

We have heard your criticisms and offered some of our own over a wide swath of zones that

are currently in the game. As such, we have elected to begin a new campaign of sorts for the

upcoming year or so as time allows.

From this time forward, we will be updating and bringing several areas and zones forward while

updating to them to the current game. In some cases, these changes will be minor. In some cases,

these changes may be a little more than minor. This will include new mobs, new EQ, new rooms,

and even new features that will further expand our experiences as players adventuring within these

zones.

In the future, you can look to this thread to keep you updated as to which zones have been updated.

Furthermore, I’d like to re-inroduce our first zone of this campaign: The River of Blood. Please take

the time to check it out and let us know of anything that’s not quite right or doesn’t work right. But

we hope this helps you guys out and gives you a few more options for gameplay as well as providing

new and interesting flavors and challenges in the times ahead.

Enjoy, and as always, thanks for playing!

I are proud to announce that an update to Crystal Falls is live. Special thanks to Gandalf and Neptune for their help! Enjoy!

We are happy to announce at this time that the Centaurs’ Domain has been updated and somewhat

expanded along the Niebelung countryside. There, you will find more space to explore, new EQ,

and new mobs to engage. As always, let us know if you see anything that doesn’t seem like it’s quite

right. But please take the time to check things out.

Be sure to give Idjit a round of applause for all his hard work on these great additions when you

see him next! I’ve no doubt they will be a welcomed addition to the world and game.

Thanks!

Preva would like to announce that after many years of research, he has determined how to forge a brand new type of item for Jord–an artifact. Artifacts will be a new class of objects that require significant work to unlock their full potential, but hope to provide fun and flavor to Slothmud. Upon completion of forging an artifact, it is important that the privileged mortal execute the following two commands to familiarize themselves with their new treasure:

ask

look

Enjoy!!

FYI, the xp system and timers need an update on the artifact. I have discussed with Breeze and will fix either tonight or tomorrow. Congrats to Josiah on forging Sloth’s first artifact!

I have taken the time to review Mount An’ Mystica, and have addressed some of the concerns regarding

this area. I have addressed the concerns folks had about the Carnivorous Apes. I have heard and

addressed the concerns players have had with Mystica’s difficulty and overall ornery nature, making it

difficult to simply explore in there much less fight anything.

Starting now, the entire area is now open to temp items. Beforehand, no temp items were allowed.

As a result, some of the mobs have been converted to chop mobs providing you guys with a few

more optionsfor lyme chop mobs. (Sorry no more new epic chop mobs :P). A new piece of EQ was

added to Mystica as well as an AQ or two. For the most p0art, the mobs were revamped with the

exception of one or two. This doesn’t mean that they are necessarily nerfed or boosted. You will

just have to figure that out for yourselves.

Anyways, enjoy. And as always, if you find anything wonky, hit me up ingame.

Greetings once again!

Today it is my honor to announce that a few new things have gone into the game

regarding the Sky Elves. While thee changes may be minor on the grand scale,

they will no doubt bring some relief to adventures in the long run throughout

the Avrae Tree and related sections.

Everyone be sure to give Filk a pat on the back next time you see him for his

hard work and time spent making these updates.

Should anyone see anything wonky in the Sky Elves, be sure to catch us ingame,

and let us know.

More to come!

Today we announce the opening of an expansion to the Sun Temple that we like

to call The Heliopolis. This will expand not only the amount of rooms, but mobs

and items as well. None of the existing portions of the Sun Temple have been

changed as this is an expansion, but know that this expansion is also a new

zone. Several low level mobs have gone in as well as a new epic and several large

mobs in the neighborhood of the sun avatar or larger.

For the moment, I will add some drachma tokens to some mobs, and well, hell,

let’s load some equipment, too. Whaddya say?

Enjoy.
