Fixing Fix And Repairing Repair, posted on Thu Nov 20 01:09:21 2014
Posted by: Borealis
Category: General
Due to various discrepancies with fixing / repairing things, some changes are taking place. The following are some of the most significant changes:

Wooden weapons, armours, scabbards and shields can no longer be fixed in a smithy, but will need to be repaired in a woodworkshop instead.

Leather armour and scabbards will need to be leatherworked.

Bone items are currently repairable in woodworking shops, because this is less daft than fixing them in a smithy.

Stone weapons and shields should be fix...

Various NPCs in the thieves guild may take more notice of various miscreants, and summon guards or heavies more frequently than they used to. If you have upset the guild, this means that it may be harder to navigate unpunished than it was previously.

On a similar theme, all members of the guild are reminded to pay any quota fines promptly, as the above changes may make it harder to reach artan than was previously the case.

Buckets are now be considered as utensils for the purposes of household guard, although in some cases it may take time for the changes concerned to propogate through the system.

Utensils which are also containers may be reluctant to act as both a container and a shield simultaneously.

A new chat has been added to the floating defense code. Should a situation arise in combat where queued commands result in you moving between rooms in the interval between the blow that knocks your shield or utensil out of orbit and the chat informing you of this event, you should now receive a chat similar to the one below upon entering the room which you moved to. Those who use floating defenses may wish to add suitable sound or colour triggers to their clients to highlight this chat.

You re...

King Verence has recently been made aware that some enterprising tenants, having acquired property within his Kingdom and related areas, have then taken up occupancy of property elsewhere.

He feels that this is against the spirit of his intent when setting rules concerning the tenancy of property in his realm and associated regions, and has now instructed that his clerks carry out an audit of properties to identify those involved and take action to return affected properties to the market.

Whil...

Clubs which fail to maintain a committee of at least three seperate members will no longer be eligible to remain in their club houses. All active members of any such club will receive a warning in plenty of time to remedy the situation.

In order to prevent the eviction of a club whose members have received warning mail, the club must elect a suitable committee within the period specified in the mail.

Due to the increased amount of work that is anticipated from the expected upturn in the housing market over the coming months, certain service NPCs have agreed to follow those using arcane means of travel. Note, however, that should you attempt to lead them outside the areas in which they normally provide their services using this method, they may decide to immediately return home, without returning any fees which might have already been paid in respect of their hiring. They also know how to fin...

A recent competency test of the imps responsible for checking credentials of priests during schisms and high priest elections identified a discrepancy in the training given to the imps. This discrepancy may also have affected schism supporters. All the imps concerned have received an intensive training course, with the following results:

They will now apply the same standards to schisming priests as they use to determine eligible high priests in a high priest election.

They will also apply a si...

Category: Special
As a related but separate activity to the previously announced work on the combat code, we're starting to look at the part that guild level plays in determining the amount of xp received in various ways. As part of this, a new command has been introduced which will calculate a theoretical level for you in 5 different categories, namely attack, defence, support, general combat and grouping. Whilst we're not going to explain how these values are calculated, which may in any way change occasionall...
