Regarding powerful artifacts ...

[gorboth]

Fellow Genesis Enthusiasts,

As some of you have no doubt noticed, there has been a change in the way
certain powerful items are showing up in the realms. In the past, an "item
rush" was the norm after each Armageddon, which will no doubt continue to
be the case. As many of you know, there can only be so much magic in the
world, and so once a certain number of the most powerful artifacts (special
weapons, armour, whatnot) have popped up here or there, the various beasts
or persons who typically hold them start lugging other less-interesting
things around.

A change has come to pass recently which intentionally causes powerful
artifacts to appear much more slowly over time, rather than all within the
first day or so following an Armageddon. You will need to discover for
yourself the specific realities of this change, of course, but I wanted to
announce the change, so that people are not feeling that there is something
amiss.
