"Servers will be back up tomorrow. As an apology all old accounts will be free for life.

Is there an option to continue paying $15-20 per month?

All titled and named aggro now wear bells.

*complains*

Supreme materials will respawn every hour. Excellent materials will no longer be weather-dependent.

*complains and throws potatoes*

We are re-opening the Kitin Lairs

Re-opening? Plural? And yaythx<3!

making Kitin Larva easier to dig.

*spins on a dime, returning to scrutinise-evaluate-and-complain mode*

Ragus and Gingos will no longer blind or stun.

*complaint*

Dyes have also been added, along with the ability to place guild symbols to armor and shields.

Yaythx<3!

Basic mats will be available up to Q250 from the NPC merchants. Kincher will now be susceptible to candy canes.

*complain, criticise, complain*

Yukoo, the level 270 yubo boss is finished - and will spawn in a different region each day.

Hmm...

More patches will be announced each week. Stay tuned for more."

Yaythx<3!

Other new stuff:

New Aura: Flash bang - When used in dark places, it will go off and blind / stun all mobs within 50m for a period of 20 seconds.

Afflictions: Sleep will be replaced with Nag - Casting will send 20 pixies who nag, nag, nag, nag nag, ..... This will clear out a bandit camp, boss, herd of mobs whatever for 5 minutes (as presumably they go to bar).

Scottie Tokens - Bags will now have they own bulk (20) so that you can carry 14 of em inside an empty bag. Fill up a bag and attatch a "Beam me up Scottie" token and it will TP to your chose destination (Apartment / GH, NPC vendor). Bags are 5 million dappers and don't survive the trip....one time use ony.

XP Bank - XP earned after Level 250 will go in your XP bank. You can withdraw XP from this bank and use towards other skills in same skill tree. IOW. if you were earning 1800 xp per dig when you hit 250 in PR dig, you can continue to earn 1800 digging PR and apply it to other land digs. Ya can't use above ground region dig XP for PR tho.

Pay Back Armors - Making armors of bolobi parts will release same stinkbomb as when you kill boss bolobi resulting in same "stink so bad" messages when wearer is killed and afflicting damage

Taunt - will now have anumation similar to Braveheart movie where upon hitting icon, toon will turn around and moon the target.

No missing persons - When NPC's who give you a mission, flag will appear on map telling you where they are until you complete it.

Tracking Spell - Similar to above, hitting an NPC, mob , player whatever with a tracking spell will put flag on map for 20 minutes.

Scroll of Pajamas Portal - Activating a SoPP on a player will turn camera around so you can look thru their screen and see if they are playing game in their pajamas.

Master Craft Bonuses - For each secondary tree you master after the first, your success % goes up 2%.

Master Skill Bonuses - For each melee skill you master you get a stamina boost; For each magic you master, you get a sap boot, for each dig region a focus boost including +2 focus credits.

Underwater Harversting - You can now harvest underwater items but many bodies of water will freeze in winter. Ice skating animations added. Luring mobs onto ice so if it breaks they drown is acceptable tactic.

Money Sink - You will be able to pay your monthly subscription fee in dappers.

RAIDS - Raids will occur twice per Atys year at randown towns and outposts. If undefended, NPC's in that town won't respawn for a year. If undefended, kitins will break OP drills and ya gotta buy new one.

Goo Borders Fixed - now if you are 50m from goo area you wont take goo damage - now if you 50m into purple stuff you will take goo damage.

Jewelry dropping mobs will now drop random pieces and not always the same 8 pieces and alsways missing the same two pieces.

Guild Forum messages can only be deleted by author, GL or HO eliminating instances of peeps deleting months of hard earned knowledge cause they thought they were only deleting them from "their own" mail box.

All Players are invulnerable on their birthdays.

Follwing items inspired by Monty Python and the Holy Grail.....

-New mounts....(includes, NPC walking behind you banging coconuts).

-Wizard guards bridges in Fyros and you have to answer 3 lore questions to cross.

-Boss Rabbit

-Following cave in Scorched Corridor to portal which now takes you the "Castle of Arghhhhh"

-Can plant shrubberies around OP's

-New OP mat for amps has 5% chance or turning target "into a newt".

-After each round of fighting Sirgio will lose a limb.

[gcaldani]

Nice one! When we get the patch live?

Could the answer be 42 ??

[wen0m]

Yeah finaly good news!

[maccer16]

my guess is with no offical post that spiderweb is`nt the owner of ryzom it was said if someone outplaced there bid it would start over and everyone would get the chance too bid again

[neofyte]

http://www.virtualcitizenship.org/forum ... =6733#6733

Apparently Spiderweb International is the successful bidder and isnt talking to anyone.

[eriu3]

cool patch, the boss rabbit sounds challenging, imo was needed, lixie was getting far too easy for GoJ, hopefully this implementation will bemuse them.

re: SoPP i`m a bit worried about this, is it impossible for Kaetemi to hack it so that it can be used to view people who wear pink frilly thongs whilst playing? (general question, i`m not guilty ofcourse)

I love the implementation of wizards, can we get hobbits too in the next patch?

Can i suggest that after each round of defeating sergio he looses a limb but we gain new fingers cause carpel tunnel syndrome really kicks in after each round.

On the whole a good patch. Hopefully next week they introduce the lightsabers and plantable proximity mines.

(((( Um, just wanted to make it clear to any new owner that may happen by this thread and not understand the sarcasm...BAH then again whats the use... ))))

LIGHTSABERS AND YUBOS WITH LASERVISION!

Hobbits might be a bad idea though, i can't imagine the tryker being OK with that deal...

[h0lycha0]

Hobbits might be a bad idea though, i can't imagine the tryker being OK with that deal...

I almost spit coffee on my keyboard *shakes head*

I wanna learn to craft laser eyed yubos...

[rajron]

Why would we have a problem with Hobbits?
All cute lil' Tryker girls love short, pudgy guys who eat too much, smoke too much, and have huge, hairy feet. *struggles to keep a straight face*

Anyway... it's great to see we haven't lost our sense of humor. *hugs everyone*

Though a few of these WOULD be nice additions, namely:

Mailbox - exchanging gear and mats can be a pain, and who hasn't wanted to send things to their alts? Of course, sending things to Silan would be impossible - none of us would be able to resist getting q50 114 amps for our lil kids

The 'Braveheart Taunt' - though some might find it offensive...

And I STILL stand by my request for a level 270 yubo boss and dyes. Kama needs a new look

As for the 'Payback armor' idea... We get that and I would have to rejoin the whole OP battle scene. KAMAKAZZZZ!!!!
