Ø  Made lumberjacking and lead mining Prolix-only trades

Ø  Instituted farming activity

Ø  Made farming and salt mining Tir’an-only trades

Ø  Build zones require lumber from the user (the amount of lumber depends on size of the radius of the build area in meters divided by 100)

Ø  /eat command reworked so all foods have to be /salt first

Ø  Lumber can be bought in Prolix and salt powder can be bought in Tir’an

Once again, more updates to enjoy this week:

Ø  Added salt, tak, and triptyte mining to be released at a later date for storyline purposes

Ø  Added console to harvesting to let player know they need to use a sickle

Ø  Added purple narrate spell color for Tir’anians and green narrate spell color for Prolixians

Ø  Fixed HUD stats bug

Ø  Fixed mana bug

Ø  Changed name of the regular Gathering skill (formerly Fishing skill) to Food Gathering skill

Ø  Added Resource Gathering skill to be used for activities such as lumberjacking and mining

Ø  Changed amount of ores received per successful mining = Resource Gathering / 10, so the amount of ores you can potentially receive from each mining run increases as your skill levels up (note, you can also lose a fraction of the Resource Gathering skill if you die while mining)

Ø  Added alchemy skill & alchemy EXP

o   once you reach 100 in alchemy, 90% of all your brewing will be a success

o   before you reach 100 in alchemy, 40% of all your brewing will be a success

Ø  Fixed build zone bug

June 11, 2009

Ø  Added amount specifications to the trade item  command

Ø  Fixed activate hurt command

Ø  Fixed bug to hide a killer’s name from the victim of combat

Ø  Discreetly changed name of the Pylos Bank to the Tir’an Bank in consoles only

More GM Updates, so here ya go:

•  Fixed narrate spell color so it is easier to see against the chat screen
• Increased huntable respawn time from 15 min to 20 min
•  Changed fishing skill to now be called “Gathering” skill so it can encompass a broader range of food gathering activities from fishing to harvesting
• Lowered fishing time to 45 seconds
• Added harvesting activity
• Added home buying feature, similar to a system set up in Mutation
• Removed an attacker’s name from being consoled to a victim; from now on, a victim will just see a message such as “Someone has killed you with a _____!”
