we had a visit from the codelizard tonight!

so you know what THAT MEANS :D THANK KHTALL AND ENJOY THE BOUNTY.

tweaks!
- portal has been changed so it WORKS. previously if you were not both peaceful/deadly and not within 15 levels of one another, it would fail. now it works. HA!
- polymorph reverting will not leave you with negative HP
- drain now gives the caster some of the mana drained from the target
- when more than one hidden object (or exit) is in a room, search now runs a chance of turning up more than one at once.

glory mobs!
- the oublie cathedral guardians now give glory if you are under level 30
- the fat lady and diablo now give glory if you are under level 20

pooka spells!
- MOONSHINE : that cherry screw wasting time in your inv? that lemonade just molding away? wait til cover of darkness and cast moonshine for a random different drink!
- SUPERFLAT : although no more powerful than earthquake, and working in essentially an identical way, superflat naturally involves multicoloured daisies and gets your target a little...loopy.

also, there was as i mentioned an art update to the site!
artists updated include: art (new guy!), moi (icarus), tavanaka (bogsherry), amred, phil, greenbear (tcarah), maniacTHP (roren), chukotto, anthonius (jemli), cilaw (new guy!), cypress, ruck, golaro, brassu, fax, makr (new guy!) and naturally the pchat folder.

and who gets featured artist? weeeeell...
( *drumroll* )

and, as mentioned in the comments for the last post, Mad's new map of the Queen Anne's Revenge can be found in the maps folder.

okay, here's the rules related to glory coupons, since a few people are confused.

COUPONS are worth 3 glory.
VOUCHERS (details of this not announced, but for future ref) are worth 1 glory.

you may only have one glory coupon per puzzle/boss mob
at the time of this posting that reads as
1 nihilanth
1 progi
1 pyramid
1 queen buis

but you may also have ONE coupon which is counted as a 'present'

that means your friend can give you a coupon and you can have no clue where it came from, but it's still cool to keep.

...also, there've been quite a few new maps added lately. be sure to check them out here.
from fax, minita, tcarah, ronin, jakrian, brassu and daos we have...
-the valburg theatre
-a revised north tek map
-a north tek gardens map
-khefera map
-mourning mountain map
-a coral sea map
-a black lake map

i'll also be updating the art later today. eventually :B

horray! tweaks and fixes!

all you gaki thank the nice codelizard lady now!
gaki can now train their blood. not only that, items can now be made that raise gaki max blood. i warn you, training your blood can get pretty costly. but it's POSSIBLE now.

everyone also thank the newly forming explorer's group who have created several new maps for your use. namely:
-the valburg theatre
-the pine barrens
-the nikitak mines
-the dark pooka forest

annnnd they are working on cleaning up maps of the oceans. speaking of the oceans, thanks to this group, the coral sea and cloud sea are now connected again so you can go play with harrietfish and donfish and fishrapers again if you so please.

yyyyyyup :B
------------------
EDIT

old gaki loading in will be hit with an odd bug! fortunately it's an easy fix. your bp will appear as 11, regardless of what it was before. go to an immortal and ask them to mset (you) maxblood (whatever your bp used to be). this is the only time you should be hit with this bug, theoretically, so just ...:D yeah. come ask us to fix you and it takes a half second to do.

ENJOY THIS MASSIVE POST THAT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING!

sorry for the radio silence guys. i've been psychoticly busy lately and even if i have been doing things, i haven't had a chance to come back and tell you about it :B

new maps:
the wastelands, the thieves' forest, the mayor's office (this is my building map, it's NOT clean), the lizardman port, crateria and the cloud sea!
HUGE thanks to nical, keech, rachella and roren for their infinate patience and care in all these maps. be sure to thank and compliment them when you see them!

new art is up by me, brass, chukotto, hatz, cypress, kilo, maniac/roren, tarendol, tcarah/greenbear, amred and TAV :D

glory for the catacombs quest has been awarded! some people did not get glory but MOST did. if you really, really want glory but you weren't awarded any  just come talk to me and we'll see if we can work something out.

new skill:
-call familiar finally works for druids! rock.

bug fixes:
-the scholars once again speak all languages. ayep.

tweaks:
-the pooka morph strider is completed.

once again, if you have a roleplaying journal put the username for it here! the list of currently known journals is here and if you're not on it, tell me here so i can add you! if you could also be so kind, when posting in sabrous_rp add the names of the participants as tags. ie, if the RP included phil and velesti, add the tags 'phil, velesti' to the entry. just for quickref for us immortards. i've fallen so behind on the RP community that basicly, i'm just going to start asking tarendol who should get PR XD sorry. what i mean to say is practices for RP journals has been awarded. other PRs have not been awarded YET, i'm counting on kentrin to give me a list of people who need it. 8D

WELL. THAT WAS A LONG WAIT FOR NOTHIN HUH. oh you're still here for a featured artist?
( this time around i honestly could not decide who to pick )

hail and hello! it's your weekly update of the website, along with the regular bugfix.

we have a new map by brass! check out his map of the RAZOR DEMON TOWER...this will be important for tomorrow's quest. today's quest. THE QUEST OF THIS WEEKEND.

we also have a lot of new art by players! there's art by greenbear, raizy, maniac, chuko, brass, cypress  and MUSIC by travisuped.

now, let's try something :o a character art showcase. each week i will pick a fanart that shows off someone's character, and showcase it here. ( this week's winner is... )

now, on to the bug fixes!
you can now access the 2nd level of the north tek gardens from any of the 4 corners.
there are no longer two karl the healers in valburg's training arena.
deadlies should now no longer see the hand of gravoc message...theoretically.
immortals should no longer recieve bug reports related to the sandbox dancers, shady merchant or moon blossom being purged.
immortals now have vnums up to two billion to work in. horray!

a bit later tonight, the intro post for this week's quest will be made and people will begin to gather in the afternoon, EST if they want to participate. this quest will run all weekend and may run more than once. all players are welcome to join, but remember that it is a roleplay excersize! you will not be doing much fighting or bashing, but character interaction. there will be a reward... :O dun dun dunnnn. but i hope people will show up for what will be the first quest :O!!

later on there will be helpfiles related to custom items/bonuses as well as house building. but later.
