Puppeteer, posted on Fri Feb 6 11:33:57 2009

Nicholas Winston, the puppet-maker in Mad Stoat, is slowing down in his old age, and can no longer create puppets unrealistically quickly. However, old age also brings compassion, and so there's now an extra incentive for buying a deluxe puppet.

Polling, posted on Thu Feb 5 11:35:29 2009

Category: Web and General
Sometimes, we would like to know things from the playerbase, and we don't have any way of putting simple questions across. In the spirit of addressing this, we've added a polling system to the web page (you may have to force a page refresh to see it) and to the MUD (the 'poll' command).



The current poll is just a test - please take a few minutes to try and break it before we start using it for Important Things.



Thanks,

Drakkos.

Djelibeybi Bazaar, posted on Tue Feb 3 22:39:54 2009

Hey all,

Not quite a new development, more of an ongoing one. The Djelibeybi Bazaar has been giving us some headaches of late (and of later)... there occasionally seems to be stalls which are enterable from two places at the same time (but with only one exit).

If you find such a stall and you can find Hagi, Kake, Jewels, or other keen creator online to look into it, we would be most grateful. (By the time you've bug reported and we've got round to looking at it, the problem is frequently ...

Conlegium Sicariorum Renovations, posted on Tue Feb 3 22:15:41 2009
Posted by: Kaylar
Category: Guilds
Changed the climbing wall in the Conlegium Sicariorum to use the climbing method

that allows climb assess to be used. This means that exits will no longer be

displayed, but there are still ways of seeing which way you can climb.

Added some Modern Art to the courtyard as well.

Votes And Topmudsites, posted on Tue Feb 3 16:29:52 2009

This isn't really a development, just a bit of commentary. Perhaps there should be a blog for that, but there isn't (yet).

We managed to hit 3,200 votes last month - we usually hit the 2,000 mark. As a result of your diligent voting, upon the refresh of the site we hit #1 and kept it for a day and a half. Not bad when you consider the #2 MUD at the time has about double our playerbase! You guys rock.

Thank you all for your continued support of the MUD, and remember those of you who want...

Refreshing And Achievements, Revisited, posted on Tue Feb 3 16:08:00 2009
Posted by: Drakkos
Category: General
So, the change to restrict the spending of achievement XP based on guild level turned out to be a lot clunkier in practise than it was in theory, so I have reverted it. Sadly, this means that login and age achievements are no longer awarded upon refresh. Sad, but alas neccessary to prevent abuse. Those who have already been awarded their experience for the achievements will be grandfathered in.

Now, your login date and age achievements count from your first login, *or* your most recent refr...

Exits Command., posted on Sat Jan 31 23:11:52 2009

A new "exits" command has been created to display obvious exits without the need to look.

This should work in most rooms.

Spiders Revitalised, posted on Fri Jan 30 16:22:24 2009
Posted by: Kake

Following the discovery that the Gloomy Forest spiders really weren't pulling their weight in the poison department, we've poked and prodded them, and now they're fully venomous again. Time to stock up on anti-poison!

Top Criminals, posted on Wed Jan 28 21:17:46 2009

I put a Most Wanted Board in the Pseudopolis Yard Watch House.

The top criminals (active players only) are listed here, as well as anyone who's been banished by the City Council.


Changes To Rooftops., posted on Wed Jan 28 19:54:40 2009
Posted by: Kaylar
Category: Guilds
Rooftops that use skillchecks were changed to use ot.acrobatics.vaulting and ot.acrobatics.balancing instead of rock climbing when jumping across roofs or balancing on slopes. Having some rock climbing may make the checks easier.

For members of the Conlegium Sicariorum doing the Run, this means they may need to advance a non-primary more than guild max (depending on stats). Some areas of the Run were made easier to account for this.
