Hi there!
Since this version, we have some news: the choice for Equipment.

By clicking on the INFO button you will see, in your player profile, a few drop-down menus that let you choose the equipment to be used for atack and defense.

The main news is that ALL player classes can make these choices.

Protections
These are being used by all, and I mean ALL player types.
Notice: Iron protections value now 5 defense points instead of 2 as earlier.

Attrack weapons
For Clerics/Sorceresses this weapon choice is BY NOW useless.
In the future, when you’ll be able to learn the “Counter-attack Art”, your character will be able to automatically counterattack by using the chosen weapon.

For the attacks initiated by your own will, you will continue using spells as you usually do.

Dark Entities will be able to use an attack weapon (they have got the Attack command button). Perhaps in the future a limitation will be applied on them, as we do today for Craftsmen.

Usage logic
The choice of the weapon/protection is operated automatically only when you pick up one and you don’t have any yet.
In all other cases (eg. when you’ve got two or more weapons available) you have to decide yourself which one to use.

Conclusions
Now you might be thinking:
Why to have to choose when it is obvious that I will always be using the most powerful weapon?

Actually today the weapon choice is not anything special. It’s obvious you will always choose the most powerful you can afford.
But in a few days, we will introduce a new game element: The AFFINITY, and things will get more complicated, and fun.

Let’s suppose that you will have a single, strong affinity with the WATER element.

If you get attacked by a character whose affinity is strong to FIRE, this attack will disorient you because the attacker moves in a way that is innatural to you.
So you may compensate the gap by using a shield with affinity to FIRE, it will make you capable of facing and reacting better to this specific attack style.

On emore example.

You have to attack an enemy much similar to you, but you want to disorient him.
You will choose a weapon with affinity to an element with which he has no affinity.
This will disturb him, and your attack will be devastating.

You got the idea. You will have to use brains and choose the right equipment at the right moment.

You will need capable backpacks and special containers named ‘magic boxes’ will be available to let you store unlimited equipment, idea that I took from a famous RPG named Vagrant Story.

See you soon then, and thanks for your appreciation and support!

On-line, at last, the game using today a new logic for managing player’s career in the game, depending on their Level.

• Much of what you can or cannot do in the game will depend from this parameter – so read the Quick Guide for more details.

Introducing the bomb traps.

Since now the combat techniques can be some more sophisticated, even the weaker players can take some satisfaction over the strongest ones.

You will find a new device in the armory, that can be used to build these traps (il looks like a mouse trap). The mechanism, combined with a mob ([USE WITH] command) will turn the bomb into a bomb trap.

How to use:

– Build the bomb trap (only craftsmen can do it)
– Place the bomb trap where you want
– Turn the trap on with the [USE] command (everybody can do it). You will hear a “click” sound and the bomb will start to blink.
– Go away and wait patiently the bomb to blow up. Possibly invite the chosen victim in the room where the bomb has just been activated (“come and see what’s in here….”)

Notes and more ideas:

– Only craftsmen can build the trap, but everybody can use it.
– The craftsmen building such a trap can sell it to the first shop so that everybody can then buy it in infinite supply
– The bomb costs 10, the sensing device 5, the bomb trap values 22. So the craftsman can earn a little money by building and selling bomb traps. Selling to private players is better than selling to a shopkeeper, he will try to pull down on the price.
– By placing on the floor one bomb trap you weaken the victim. By coupling it with one or more bombs you can be sure of killing him/her – the bomb explode altogether.
– In case of death subsequent to the bombs explosion, the person who did activate the bomb trap is the one who gets the points.

Have fun!

Music

Since this version the soundtrack of the game has been enhanced thanks to the contribution of a few musicians:

• “Final Battle” (MP3) by Andy “Ziurerdna” Ruiz
• “Sentry Battle” (MP3) by Sean Beeson
• “Final Battle” (MP3) by Daedralarsa

Interesting news!

War of guilds – support completed

The support to the War of guilds has been completed.
Currently, when a war is over, the system computes the war prize that is got from the losers and assigned to the winners.

The war prize is gathered from each member of the guild having lost the war, in this way:

• 10% of the exceeding Maximum Strength with respect to the base profile
• 10% of the exceeding Maximum Experience with respect to the base profile
• 10% of the money placed at Garumir’s bank

The maximum increment points and the money are distributed in equal parts to the members to the winner guild.

The result of the war prize computation and assigment to winners is documented in a report that is given, under the form of a scroll, to whom is stopping the war.
The contents of this report can be later published on the game’s Forum by means of “copy-paste” or lso you can let the enemy guild’s leader read the report.

For more details, read the Guild wars page.

Have fun!
