| Cantankerous, posted on Wed Dec 11 11:46:37 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: Waterways (domain pages) | In a few weeks' time, we will be changing all bathroom furniture so that the "fill" command will only work when the furniture item is "plumbed in", i.e. placed as furniture. The reason for this change is that the existence of portable items providing unlimited access to water creates issues with balance that make it harder to (a) maintain existing systems that use or are affected by water and (b) implement new systems that use or are affected by water.
We are aware that this change on its own w...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| You'll Clean That Up Before You Leave, posted on Wed Dec 4 14:54:27 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: General | Some changes have been made to who can displace furniture and remove items from player housing that is listed for auction. Specifically, from now on, only the previous tenant and anyone they "allow"ed in the property will be able to remove things during the auction period.
There are several reasons for this change. It provides a "grace period" for players who have gone inactive or run out of money during an unexpected absence from the Disc, allowing them or their cohabitants to move their belo...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Another Fine Product From The Nonsense Factory, posted on Sun Oct 27 16:57:11 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: General | The mailer is now more informative about what's actually happening when you (a) save a message from one folder to another, and (b) answer its questions about whether you'd like to save your messages to the "received" folder and/or delete the messages marked for deletion.
Note: quitting the mailer may get spammier in the short term if you have previously misunderstood how things work and hence ended up with all the things in your inbox being also duplicated in your "received" folder. Hopefully t...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Oceanic Dissonance, posted on Sat Oct 26 17:06:48 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: Waterways (domain pages) | Some of you will already be aware that a compass plugin for sailing has recently been taken down by its maker, after a conversation with one of our liaisons. For the avoidance of doubt: sailing compass plugins are not permitted, so if you have one installed, please uninstall it.
I have now changed some of the sailing code in order to stop the plugin from working. The reason for doing this is to make sure nobody is breaking the rules accidentally due to not having seen this blog post.
As an un...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Lightly Seared On The Reality Grill, posted on Wed Aug 21 16:11:17 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: General | The klein bottle cosies sold in the Creel Springs magic shop now come in a range of colours (including one super-rare). The plain ones are still available for those who prefer them.
A bug has been fixed that was preventing anyone from getting the best result for the earring in the well-chewed metalworking book.
The soul formerly known as "eskimo" is now known as "hongi".

| Wisdom Like Silence, posted on Wed Aug 7 14:39:28 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: Guilds | There are new thresholds for the number of votes that assassin specialisation leaders must gain in their elections in order to receive some or all of their powers. Previously the powers were split at 5, 8, 10 and 15 votes; we have now collapsed these into two categories which are gained at 5 and 8 votes respectively (note that 5 votes are required to be elected in the first place).
The powers to ban individuals from guild grounds, disavow specialisation members, and sanction individuals with a ...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Fate Amenable To Change, posted on Wed Jul 10 15:44:10 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: Forn (domain pages) | Our most recent Bugfix Weekend produced a plethora of Genuan fixes and updates:
A new coin, the Genuan vingt-cent, has been introduced.
City guards will no longer charge you with a new count of the crime of "Attacking a loyal Genuan city guard" if it was them who started the fight.
Moreover, city guards will no longer attack you for being a criminal if you're in the middle of a recently-started graffiti-cleaning job. Specifically, your job must have started less than half an hour ago, you mus...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Now, Turning To Reason, And Its Just Sweetness, posted on Tue Jul 2 11:30:32 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: General | This blog post is mainly about stat items, but while I'm here:
Erected tents now show up on terrain maps, and people/corpses inside tents can now be located with the relevant rituals.
On to the stat items!
The effects of stacking stat items are no longer dependent on the order in which you equip the items. For positive stat effects, the final effect should now be the best boost that was possible with the old calculation. Moreover, the bless ritual will no longer interfere with equipped stat ...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Germane Riposte, posted on Wed Jun 12 14:49:46 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: General | Various bugs in the hunter's pack have been fixed. It should now no longer prevent you from slipping things into it while closed, and it should no longer give the wrong failure message when you try to put something into it that doesn't fit.
Ranged inhumes now take account of the damage types available on the weapon. Specifically, they no longer assume pierce damage unless the weapon can actually inflict that type of damage.
Poison lab equipment will now give a special message at the end of th...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Killing Time, posted on Wed May 8 14:10:58 2024 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: Guilds | This month's Bugfix Weekend was focused on warriors, but we also have a few little faith-related treats.
The alignment-based messages that are shown to a person who actively leaves a deity's passage room are now also shown to the people following that person. (These messages have no actual effect - they're just for flavour.)
Faith shields lasting more than two years were supposed to print special messages when viewed with the "shields" command, but there was a bug preventing this. That bug ha...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
