... as usual we have a shortage of wizards with the technical knowledge of how to do it. Disentangling the code is also quite difficult and requires many hours of work. Because the underlying code drives so much of Genesis one has to take great care to not break 10 other things when making the chan...

OH LOL THIS GETS EVEN BETTER XD

That little rat. Well. Game on, then
Congrats Taran on finding the item.

Now that's being a great sport! Looks like we have our first epic grudge match post death reform and the change is working as intended

<r><CODE><s>[code]</s>Greetings citizens of the Donut! As many of you know, we have some rather ancient code describing items, creatures and places in the realms. Due to decades of various creators coming and going, how undeath is expressed and detected can be rather strange and idiosyncratic. Tapak...

Q: Does this mean that movement inhibitors will be back next? Before christmas even?

This is a separate issue and a very touchy one. They will be back, but I can't promise before which Christmas (TM).

Q: How will guild stat be affected in the new recovery system? Will the recovery bonus help me get 10 links faster as a Blademaster? A: You will still gain guild stat at the existing rate. So no, just like how in the old system the lowered brute doesn't help, the recovery bonus won't help either. La...

I'm currently about 30 hours (1/3) through the horrible slog of mid-myth death recovery. Thank you to those involved for taking action and putting in the wo...

Greetings citizens of the donut! Recently Lars and Death were reminiscing about the past and good old Death complained that visits to his lair by old familiar souls have become scarce. Seeing that those souls are now legends and myths in the realms, Death lamented that they must be too rich and too...

Greetings Goldbezie, If you recall, my very first major act as AoB (ending infinite fatigue for undeads) was a major nerf for Vampires who at the time were generating an insane amount of coin -- an oversight regarding undeads that eluded the eagle eyes of many AoBs that predated me. If I remember co...

I wouldn't worry too much about things for now. General morale in wiz land is pretty good and we have some very skilled wizards creating very cool things. Arman will rejoin us at some point and others like Jaacar, Petros or Eowul might decide to be active once again. Even really ancient wizards like...

PS i bet the guy will return, but hopefully will be in a more “contained” role ;) As much as I enjoyed working with and arguing balance concerns with Zizuph and valued his contributions and insights as a wizard, I don't think that's in the cards with the current set of admins. Maybe some future adm...
