Hey,



As some of you might know, Zornath, Daedelex and myself have put up the newest version of POS (which we now call POSKbK) and would like to thank everyone who has given it a try.



We’ve been up about a week now, and in that week, the mud has seen a fair bit of change:



Zor - 2009-10-15: Forget now lags for half a round upon failing to use a skill or spell.

Zor - 2009-10-14: Warriors gain Hurl. See helpfile for info.

Zor - 2009-10-14: Two-Handed Dedication paladins gain Art of the Crusader. See helpfile for info.

Zor - 2009-10-14: Shield Dedication communes can now be refreshed and changed on-demand. Assuming you

aren't in combat, as before.

Zor - 2009-10-14: It is now possible to dual wield while unarmed. It is also possible to punch with one

hand empty and the other wielding a weapon. Obviously, this won't work with 2-handed

weapons. Unarmed assassins rejoice, but know that you're subject to changes, as

Unarmed Offense was designed to overcome the dual-wield-punching dilemma.

Zor - 2009-10-14: Movement costs increased roughly 250-300%. Fly and haste dramatically reduce these

costs, for those that are interested.

Zor - 2009-10-12: Zealots gain Fanaticism. See helpfile for info.

Zor - 2009-10-11: Necromancers lose Energy Drain, Vampiric Touch now drains HP, mana, and move

simultaneously, but deals less damage than Energy Drain. Automatic bounties are

now in place.

Zor - 2009-10-11: Adrenaline time reduced by half.

Zor - 2009-10-10: Experimental: Removed global chat for mortals. Keys will now save to your inventory

as all other items do (meaning persist through quit/crash). Health state of enemies

will now show even while blind.

Zor - 2009-10-10: There is now a 1 tick cooldown on looting from other players' corpses.

Zor - 2009-10-10: New characters will now be ghosts for 100 in-game hours after creation, which is

removed on logout. They will also be protected from unholy bless for 100 in-game

hours after creation. Potions of Recall added to the wizard in Midgaard for 1000 gold.

Zor - 2009-10-09: Vampiric Touch makes a return for necromancers. Charmed mobs should properly

save on logout. Energy Drain now heals the caster for a larger amount when it

targets health. Paladins lose Gate. Haunting drains more mana per tick. Blade

Barrier lag increased and damage lowered. Sleeping regen rates increased. Top end

damage of Tigerclaw lowered. Zealots gain Heal. Removed (temporarily) the

restriction on Ward of Magnetism for channelers, but also lowered its

effectiveness.

Zor - 2009-10-09: Enforcer cabal is no longer available at character creation. Players will be

handpicked for the cabal by the immortals and by future leaders.

Zor - 2009-10-08: Newbie weapons are no longer nodisarm. Non-newbies can now use the outfit command.

Zor - 2009-10-08: Skill improvement rates increased significantly.

Zor - 2009-10-08: PosKBK is back! Focusing mainly on making sure we're stable for now, so if you

experience any crashes or other oddities, be sure to elaborate using the BUG

command. And do be as descriptive as possible.





You can check out more of the changes made by logging on and checking out help changes.

We'll be holding a small PK event on Sunday, 6pm EST in order to gauge the balance of things. Come on over and test your player killing ability. Winners will be rewarded.

Forums/site still pending.
