| Lighting The Way, posted on Fri Nov 7 05:42:22 2025 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Guilds | I've fixed a bug in the magical fireflies witches can summon so you can now refer to them as swarms of fireflies.
While I was there I also added some adjectives so you can easily refer to your own, as follows:
> look my swarms of fireflies
> shoo Fran's swarms of fireflies
> shoo Fran swarms of fireflies
Or you can combine the new adjectives with the existing names:
> look my swarms
> shoo every Fran's swarm
> shoo Fran swarms

| There's Always A Catch., posted on Wed Oct 29 15:10:59 2025 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Special | Both door and furniture latches had a bug that prevented them from working correctly. The door latches are now fixed but furniture latches have been removed temporarily for further bugfixing.
If you used a latch on a door, you can buy a new latch and install it, or ask a liaison to fix it for you.
If you used a latch on a piece of furniture, you can buy a new furniture lock and install it, or ask a liaison to fix it for you.

| My Door Is Aways Unlocked, posted on Sun Oct 26 16:10:13 2025 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Special | Locksmiths the Disc over have started stocking new items for those who don't feel the need to lock up their property and possessions.
You may now buy latches without locks for your player house doors and furniture.
To install them, use the syntax:
change [lock in] <door or furniture> for <latch>

| Fixing Armour And Shielding Misattribution., posted on Sat Aug 9 09:10:14 2025 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Special | We have fixed a long-standing bug in combat messages. If you had a layered set of damage mitigations the combat code would sometimes credit the wrong layer as having stopped the most damage.
This is now fixed.

| Weight, Weight, Don't Tell Me!, posted on Fri Dec 20 15:11:23 2024 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Guilds | Items made heavier with Luquayle's Longevity-Enhancing Ballast or Mama Adena's Burden of Responsibility had their enchantment decaying more than was intended. This has now been fixed. You may need to check the enchantment level of such items and top them up as appropriate.
Natural talismen now decay to the same relative thaum level as their deluded counterparts.
NOTE: When making items heavier they keep their amount of enchantment resulting in an apparent reduction in relative enchantment. T...Read The Rest Of This Entry |

| Re-reforging A Dwarfish Axe., posted on Fri Dec 13 07:07:43 2024 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Ram (domain pages) | I've fixed the bug in the reforged dwarf axe that would sometimes cause the judge command to report misleading information.
The axe has had no changes to it's utility in combat.
You will need to su with the axe in your inventory for the fix to apply if you're online when this is posted.

| What A Mission!, posted on Wed Sep 11 14:36:18 2024 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Special | Your dedicated creator team has fixed a number of mission related bugs this month. The most notable are:
* A new keyword, $localtime$, has been added to the alias system. Please see "help alias tutorial" for details, in the new section "What Time Did I Do That?"
* A bug in Pennie Laced has been fixed; it is now no longer possible to accidentally find the required item twice by queueing search commands, and hence it is no longer possible to accidentally lock yourself out of getting the mission ...Read The Rest Of This Entry |

| What's On The Menu?, posted on Thu Apr 25 11:22:09 2024 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Web | I have tweaked the website menu to be slightly more usable if you're using a browser on a mobile device to view it.
If you need to navigate to menu item that also has a sub menu, you'll now have to tap on it twice.
The desktop experience should not have changed in any way.
If you experience any issues please let me know with the command:
