Patch Notes - July 2024

New Additions:

  • Gatherer's Pack: This new item offers weight reduction for various materials including leather, hides, bones, feathers, tiger pelts, dragon turtle scoots, fur, wool, cloth, and scales. You can get this doing Huntsman Quests, but we offer it here as well for those who want it a different way, at a marked up price at the Magincia Stones.

      You can get these doing Huntsman Quests, but we offer it at Magincia as well for those who want it a different way, at a marked up price of course!
  • Birdhouse: Double-click to see a bird fly around the birdhouse! There’s a chance for it to drop eggs, cracked egg shells, or a unique "easter egg" (not the bunny kind). We kept the movement somewhat sporadic intentionally to make it feel like the bird is flying through the tree you put it on. See example gif. Available at Magincia Stone.

  • Costumes: Added new costumes to halloween costume stone in Magincia: Horse, Bloodfox, Bake Kitsune, Changling, Dryad, Patch Skeleton, Floating Skeleton, Skeleton Knight, and Skeleton Mage. Special thanks to Mr. Bain!

  • Sea Captain’s Ability: Fixed the issue preventing nudist sea captains. Enjoy the pirate life! (you will need to drydock)

  • Vesper Museum: Removed the decay timer from the Vesper Museum, so the effort put in is not lost, as it is a significant server effort.
  • IDOC Loot: Removed lighthouses from IDOC loot as they are account-bound.
  • Young Status: Reminder that Young Status will prevent Legendary Spawns. So.. stop it. lol
  • Governors: The term length for Governor roles has been extended from 1 month to 3 months following a vote. Remember, by utilizing the Discord channel, you can organize fundraisers, usurp other governors, and engage in various fun and nefarious activities, such as "beautification of your city." GMs and EMs will participate if you gather enough support. For more details, visit: https://discord.com/channels/221645501806804993/1249034604283957268 The only limits are your imagination!

Backend Improvements:

  • Resolved some archiving and save backend issues.
  • Updated the suggestions and bug report process with new forms to streamline submission and improve team processing on the forums.
  • Built out tools for the team to be able to generate and despawn KOTL city events manually if need be.
  • Fixed a possible crash for vendor tiles.
  • Added words to the "bad word" dictionary we didn't think of, but were used.
  • Lightened a lot of our back end to keep saves quick and speedy!
