You don't need to make an app for a new char...

Finally now i can go about murdering every ruler in Asulon and not have to worry about them magically getting healed from the 7 direct stab wounds to the face i gave them!

Hey Asulon,

We're going to start pre-announcing patches before they go live so we can get some general feedback on all of our upcoming updates, and so we can make any changes that may be needed before release. With that out of the way, here is what we have planned for patch 2.5, scheduled to drop in a few hours.

• 
  
  
• Fixed a dependency issue with Citizens, caused the skill system combat and character cards to break.
  
• Fixed mob spawning rates.
  
• Added a 60 second delay to OOC messages to solve some of the apparent trolling and misconduct that has been occurring in the OOC chat.
  
• Extend local chat by 100 blocks to compensate for the changes of OOC. (Original: 30 blocks)
  
• Removed shout and whisper channels, as they were not being utilized the way we wanted them to be; plus they will no longer be needed with the extended local chat.
  
• Fixed the crazy overpowered poison spider venom.
  
• Skill System max level has been dropped from 275 to 200. Any accounts with more than 200 levels have been reset and given 200 skill credits. This is for game-play balancing.
  
• Map size will be shrunken down to 4,000 x 4,000, just like the Aegis map; this is both for fixes to the latency and to centralize roleplaying more on the GM-made structures.
  
• Beds can now be used during the day as well as night!
  
• You will now be required to reroll your character on death. Failure to do so will result in an automatic 1 month ban, regardless if the kill was IC or OOC.
  

We'll be renaming the four default races to better fit our lore and gameplay feel. Here's a breakdown of all the new races:

Human - Zelot

Dwarf - Rockary

Elf - Alfefe

Orc - Grunshie

We'll be enforcing these new race names very strictly, any mention of the old names in lore posts or anything else related to LOTC will result in a permanent ban. We don't normally respond so strictly, but we feel it is critical to the survival of the server. All forums and in-game locations will be renamed accordingly to support this new naming system.

Thanks for your continued support and general awesomeness LOTC, keep it up! (And be sure to let us know what you think of this awesome new upcoming patch!)

Well, I suppose that i'm going to get banned, because the re-rolling, nuh uh. The changing of the names, not gonna happen with me, I will still remain strong and keep my pride in the races! Spider poison is not over powered and it takes skill to kill a poison spider, without a bow. I know that this is an RP server...but come on...We still need a "little" Player-Versus-Player Skill. The beds and skill system are do-able, since people can roleplay easier if they are sick, or hurt and it isn't night (definitely do this), and the skill system will allow others to be more Realistic on their skills and not have a farmer who also has a 100 in swords, and a 50 in mining. The Mod Spawn Rates could use a little tweaking, in my opinion. Make it so they spawn more, and it'll be great! :D And...finally...I don't know what to think about the changes to the chat...but instead of increasing the chat "field" make it so we can type longer without coming to the end and having to start a new line.

All in all, I am not sure if I hate or support this...but you know what you are doing, and I support you all of the way...and also...

I like Vaq's sense of humor.
