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.

Worth The Weight, posted on Tue Oct 22 23:16:22 2024 | Posted by: Kadath | Category: General | A few fixes and adjustments have been made since the launch of the new Hedge Wizards' area in Skund Forest. Depending if/when you visited, you may not have experienced the 'before' version of these changes, but for the sake of those early birds who ran into a few oddities, here are the most relevant changes:
Skund Hedge Wizard Outpost:
- The teleport circle on the lower floor now transports your followers when you use it to move
- The misty archways inside the giant tree are better at kee...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
Hedge Fun Management, posted on Fri Oct 18 09:31:50 2024 | Posted by: Kadath | Category: Guilds | The hedge wizards of Skund Forest have been hard at work over the last few months and have finally finished renovating their dilapidated gathering point northeast of Pekan Ford.
Some disparate pieces of knowledge have been gathered into one place - a rarity for these nomadic sorts, but a boon for wizardry as a whole. Some of the more enterprising types have also taken the opportunity to set up shop in what they hope will become something of a hub for like-minded spellcasters.
All are welcome t...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
Burgle Fixing, posted on Wed Oct 9 16:01:34 2024 | Posted by: Stygian | Category: Guilds | This past weekend, many bug fixes, improvements and alterations were made to the Thieves Guild (and more). Here are some of the most noteworthy changes:
*Several previously-runtiming rooms relating to the Thieves' Guild punishment system have been fixed to no longer runtime. If you have been relying on this issue to avoid being thrown into a pit for being naughty, please be aware that this strategy will no longer work.
* Thieves' Guild heavies will no longer take living things (such as pets) f...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
Mushclient Users: Please Clean Your IP Cache!, posted on Wed Sep 18 08:06:56 2024 | Posted by: Pit | Category: General | Hello all,
If you are using Mushclient and find yourself unable to connect to Discworld later today, we advise that you go to File => World properties, where you may find a button "refresh cached IP", which you should press!
Explanation: the MUD is always reachable on discworld.starturtle.net, but to deal with network issues, we sometimes have to change which IP this address points to.
Unfortunately, some MUD clients -- of which Mushclient is the commonly used one -- cache the IP you have conne...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
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 |
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".
Inspired by the popularity of lettuce-eating tortoises, the geese from the Slippery Hollow pet stall will now accept gifts ...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
Leave Poor Prinscilla Alone :(, posted on Sat Aug 17 17:27:47 2024 | Posted by: Pit | Category: Am (domain pages) | After being viciously murdered one too many times, Prinscilla has decided that enough is enough.
She will now refresh her collection of horses on her own initiative. |
Disconnection Detection, posted on Sat Aug 10 13:21:27 2024 | Posted by: Pit | Category: General | Hello all,
We are aware that there is a problem where players repeatedly get disconnected, and are discussing solutions with the ISP.
For the time being, we have implemented some functionality to protect players from dying in combat when a disconnect is detected by marking them as unconscious. This code is still in beta, and therefore may still have some flaws, but we are rolling it out now because we hope that it will help you.
If you would rather not have this code apply to you, please cont...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
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 |
