Aberoth News

- If a guild is disbanded, any player who was ever the leader of the guild may now restart the guild by paying 20,000 gold to Tavelor. Prior to this update, only the founder of a guild could restart it. This feature will work for current guild leaders, and all guild leaders going forward, but will not work for guild leaders who abdicated leadership before this update, since the game did not keep track of past guild leaders before now. Founders may still restart their disbanded guilds as before.

- Fixed a bug with the guild loot limit.

- Fixed a bug where a player could incorrectly get infamy.

- Disallowed trading next to the north wall of the inn (to prevent denial of service to the realms). In addition, the realm is now displayed for engraved items dropped in the inn.

- Ropes now hold pelts.

- A player's main bag can no longer be dropped if too full.

- Fixed a problem where NPCs sometimes do not understand the first time you talk to them.

- Fixed a problem where players would keep moving after zoning, even though movement keys were released.

- Players are now told which engraved items they lost when they die.

Happy New Year!

The new Arcane Realm of Creation is now live and fully accessible. High score boards for that realm are also now available.

- A new special realm, the Arcane Realm of Creation (yellow triangle), has been added to the game. This realm can be accessed by striking the new painting inside the inn.

- The Arcane Realm of Creation is a brand new realm that only allows brand new players (no skills). No items or gold may be transferred in or out. This realm will run for one full year, and will be reset every new year on January 1.

- The realm may be entered now, but players may not leave town until January 1, 2018.

- Once inside the realm, a player's membership will be reset to the full amount purchased, and will not use up any days until the realm officially begins on Jan 1, 2018. For example, if you purchase a one year membership now and enter the realm, the membership will not expire until Jan 1, 2019. A six month membership would expire on June 30, 2018.

- Time toward membership rewards will not start accruing until Jan 1, so everyone who is in the realm when it starts will get their rewards at the same time.

- To enter, a player must not have any skills or vault, be carrying any items, own any gold, or be in a guild.

- The realm will have its own high score board, which will be coming shortly. Right before the realm is reset (on Dec 31, 2018), the high score boards will be saved and be accessible for all time.

- Players inside the new realm will not have access to any other realms (until the realm ends on Dec 31, 2018), including all of the common realms, the arcane realm of life, and the arcane of power. There is no orb room, and there is a separate inn and Gurun cave.

- Introspection in this realm will show rankings only relative to other players in the same realm.

- When the realm resets after a year, all existing players in the realm will be sent to the common realm of creation (yellow), and may continue to play in the normal Aberoth world.

- Players may not leave the realm until the year is over, even if their membership expires. The only exception to this rule is if a player enters, and then has their membership refunded, they will be removed.

- A real person may not log on to multiple characters at the same time in this new realm.

- Players in normal Aberoth may not commend or condemn those in the realm of creation, and players in the realm of creation may only commend or condemn others in the same realm.

- If there is an old, abandoned name that is taken but you would like to use for a new character for this new realm, please let me know (email [email protected]), and I will check the name for you. If it is available to be freed up, just enter the realm with the character you want to use, and I will change your name for free (until the realm officially starts on January 1). Any name changed this way will not appear on the name changes page, so it will be as if you started a new character with that name. To see if an old name might be available,check the Most Skillfull page for the name. If their total skill is lower than 10, I might be able to free up the name.

- Players are no longer kicked out of the arcane realm of life when they log in after their reputation becomes too low. Instead, they will no longer be allowed to leave town (in the arcane realm of life) until their reputation improves. As before, if they leave the realm, they will not be able to re-enter until their reputation improves.

- Guild members can no longer recall items from a minotaur whose real name is engraved on the items.
