Next Update
Bug Fixes
Plot related changes
Replaced the gate in Mirtho


HUGE Nagritch Rebuild

MOST of this rebuild is OOC. IC'ly Nagritch looks the same as it always has for the most part. Almost everything is in about the same location it has always been in. What is IC'ly different:

The Docks district has been taken over by the Nagritch Military (because they are paranoid right now). This district is undergoing massive renovations and is being turned into the government/army district.

Near the south wall the courthouse has been demolished and relocated to the new government district.

The Airship captains, tired of all the rules and regulations as well as being upset over being displaced have moved to the South East of Nagritch ((OOC'ly this means those banned from Nagritch can still use the airships))

A Business that closed some time ago has reopened in a new location and has expanded their customer base.

A certain shady character is back in business too, if you can find him.

If you have a house in Nagritch, they are now located on the west side of Nagritch, in the Residential district, on the North side of the road

Known Issues:
Yes it looks bare and probably gloomy. This is only the first update, the second will be to fill it in more.

There may be a broken transition between the south and east walls. If so, you can go around it until I can figure out why that one transition refuses to work.

In the newest batch of updates (don't quote me on all of these because I didn't do some of them).

Subraces: Hala/Ysgard now supports the creation of all races currently available in copap with the exception of Drangonari and Sereg which are Avlis specific races that were created and are owned by Avlis

See World Information for details of the available races on Hala/Ysgard

Shifter Update: Shifters have long been plagued as one of the worst classed due to the fact that none of the items stacked with each other. You only got the highest benefit from any one of them. We are currently testing fix for that that allows a shifters items to stack. This is in testing phase and could be modified or removed if the team decides it makes the class too overpowered.

Random Area Updates

Items crafted on Avlis with unique properties should work here. (i think)

Today's update included some xp and gold adjustments as well as a couple minor fixes.

Combat Experience

This has been adjusted slightly upwards, but has been capped at 25xp per non-boss monster. Boss creatures may give bonus xp in the future (this part is still being worked on). Creatures well below your CR should still only give 1xp.

Collector Quests
I added several of these, but I also added a cap to the total amount of experience you can gain from collector quests. Once you reach the cap for the week, no collector will accept anything more from you. The XP cap for this will scale by level.

Gold
Gold drops have been adjusted. You should get fewer 1gp drops.

Next update:

Attempted to fix greater restoration not removing the death penalty

Turned off the Flame Weapon/Darkfire glow effects

Attempted to fix summon monster

Added Fenmarel to the death code scripts

Added fix to prevent the Con penalty from rekilling PC's while in the death plane.

Redid the death plane to reflect the Aesir's growing influence. This should be taken by PCs as "this is where you could be spending eternity if you joined us" not "This is absolutely where you are going to end up, whether you follow the Aesir or not."

Added conversion scripts to priests of Odin and Thor for testing. Please report any problems if you use these, but also keep in mind you only get one conversion. Don't use them if you don't want to follow Odin or Thor.

Lots of behind the scenes script updates.

Lycan code was fixed thanks to Themi. Be warned! I'm not exactly sure what this means - whether its retroactive, or whether you can currently get it from our Lycans. Contracting Lycanthropy will more than likely get you an alignment hit to evil! So, if you find your character howling at the moon and you've not been near the lycans lately, grab a DM for help. If you have the urge to go crump lycans, bring along something to remove curses.

New store added for testing at the Great Divide in Hala, Check her out. She sells random items, updated every reset.

Player housing updates.

A little something for Nas has been added to the Hala start area. Create a new character or server hop to see it.


New areas and persistent quest added to Yggdrasil. Note:

This is a party friendly quest. Only one person needs to speak to the NPC to start it. Once you find your goal, everyone in the party will need to get close enough to see what you are supposed to see (you will get a server message when you are close enough.) Everyone will need to return and speak to the NPC to complete the quest.

This is the first part of a larger, multi-part puzzle solving quest. There will be some fighting, but the overall goal is to solve a mystery and learn some Ysgardian lore. Keep the reward, you might need it later when the rest of the quests are live. :D
