Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Jul 30, 16 Absorb is now limited by max mana. Various work on the mudmail infrastructure. Improve show/brag email. From Draak: Whips and flails are now parryable, but not shield blockable. Blast, splat, and spit are not parryable. Add foragable eggs. Add static blast and chill touch to newbie mage starting spells. Miscellaneous cleanup to warrior 'stomp' skill strings. Static blast now has a short term duration affect that makes the target more vulnerable to electricity. This can be canceled by the ground spell. http://bit.ly/2ahRs2M

Alter Aeon server updates for Jul 25, 16 Make Durham's guiding spirit plane aware. Prevent scribe while fighting. Back off some of the idle detectors a bit. Raise damage output and price of constructed grenades. Make enchant more likely to work on most normal equipment. Bug fixes to crystal coat weight changes. Make it possible to pick up gold at max carried item count. Minor improvements to cast level warnings on the 'advice' command. Hopefully improve autolevel area exp. Change the way exp is handled for a bunch of skills, including more consistent thwacking for command spamming and using one function in a bunch of different places instead of having custom exp code everywhere. We're basically going to have to rebalance anything touched by this, so let us know which things are grossly out of whack so we can take a look. From Draak: Add 'stormy', 'blizzard', 'windstorm', and other keywords for control weather. A few minor sound updates. Make it easier to catch big fish. Add an easter easter egg. Add "temp", "weather", and "wind" to prompts. Add help page for skinning, updates to other help pages. http://bit.ly/29VF62W

Alter Aeon Summer 2016 Update

Alter Aeon server updates for Jul 15, 16 Dramatically slow down the long term response of the alignment offsets. Lower group join timeouts. Lower resurrect cooldown. Add more label tags to forms on the web site. Make align equipment more resistant to idling. http://bit.ly/29VE6uH

Alter Aeon server updates for Jul 10, 16 Add a 'lag' command for displaying recent server lag. Attempt to add html labels to the main credit card form on the website. Make 'mend bones' more mana efficient. Now that the money market floor and ceiling are stable, disallow player offers. Sorry, all you arbitragers. Updates to change mob load probability thwacking into a more ordinary exp thwack instead. Note that there will be a startup transient for some mobs, where they will have lower than usual experience until the control system figures out what's going on. This should only happen for things that had low load probability to begin with, which isn't very common. http://bit.ly/29qcleg

Add some monster lore sends for air mob types. Add slight chance of faster recovery for a floating weapon after being disarmed.
