| Skill Changes, posted on Sun Mar 26 20:25:22 2023 | | Posted by: Pit | | Category: Special | Hello all,
We have made a number of small changes to the skill tree and to some guild
primaries:
* We have removed fighting.range.bow, and merged existing levels into the
fighting.range.fired skill, considering the relative XP costs of both skills to
replace players' existing levels. Guilds which had fighting.range.bow as a
primary now have fighting.range.fired instead.
* We have removed both people.culture.djelian and people.culture.ephebian, and
moved existing levels into the new s...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Divine Tolerance Thresholds Increased, posted on Tue Jan 11 15:04:50 2022 | | Posted by: Pit | | Category: Guilds | After a meeting on Cori Celesti, Gapp, Sandelfon, Fish and Hat have decided to be a bit more tolerant of their followers' shifts in alignment.
Hence, priests of these gods should now find it a bit easier to stay in your gods' good graces!
The score align command now reflects the new status quo more accurately. |

but since the boards scroll fast we replicate it here.)
Hello everyone!
After many discussions we have decided to make some significant changes to the
way Playerkilling works in Discworld.
Most importantly at this moment:
* Assassins and wizards of the last order no longer have a PK requirement.
* Everyone is free to stop being PK using the command "clan leave".
However, if you do so you will not be allowed to ...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Warning: A Fix To Over-full Vaults, posted on Fri Dec 4 22:52:19 2020 | | Posted by: Pit | | Category: General | Bing!
We have fixed a bug in vaults (and similar storage places like high priest wardrobes) which caused most of the checks on whether an item can be put in to be bypassed.
This bug not only led to rather curious situations like a complete elephant corpse fitting into a small drawer; more importantly, it also meant that people could put more items in than the MUD can load in one go -- potentially leading to items being quietly lost when the vault is opened again.
So, please be aware that if a va...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| PK Weekend 2020, posted on Sat May 30 18:26:02 2020 | | Posted by: Pit | | Category: General | Hello everyone!
The annual PK weekend will take place on 6 and 7 June 2020. During this weekend, everyone can choose to be PK for a few days, and be back to normal afterwards.
This year's event will give you more control than the ones before. You will be able to permit specific people to fight with / steal from you, and also completely stop being PK before the end of the weekend. More details will follow closer to the time.
We ask all players who participate to keep the event fun. Griefing act...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| An Update To Really Difficult Letter Deliveries., posted on Sat Dec 8 11:43:23 2018 | | Posted by: Pit | | Category: Am (domain pages) | Frank, the Semior Postman in charge of the dead letter office, has changed the policies in regard to difficult customers somewhat.
He will now allow for much less time to deliver these letters, and also give a lesser reward. He hopes that this will allow a greater variety of post office epmloyees to try their hand at hunting down these difficult addresees.

| In Hot Pursuit, posted on Sat May 12 14:16:40 2018 | | Posted by: Pit | | Category: Special | Bing!
Due to the discovery and subsequent fixing of a bug, you may find that pursuing has now become a little easier.
The effect should not be extreme, but may well be enough to be noticeable.

Bing!
The get command has been further updated. Most importantly, there are now syntaxes to get a limited number of items from multiple containers, and it is possible to get an item that is too heavy to lift out of a container.
