Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Dec 21, 14 Display login warning for accounts with broken email addresses. Add 'gather staff' to allow gathering of wood to make druid spellstaffs. Raise the number of charges that can be stored in spellstaffs. Improve the gold conversion rate for 'credit buy reforge'. Shut off farsee in closed areas. Limit noxious cloud charisma effect to -5 points. Add level 25 druid tincture, 'trollsblut'. Turn undead now has wisdom and charisma requirements. Raise duration on a few tinctures. Change the composite limits for rune carving to make them simpler to calculate. Probably an overall increase. Add new level 10 skill, 'firebrand', for carving (burning runes onto) leather and hides. Lower 'call waterborn' from level 32 to level 21 druid and make it dependent on animal lore instead of animal magnetism. Add a 'whereis' command for moderators and avatars to pull up information on new players. This is intended to make it easier to help new players. It is limited to players below level 20 that are on the newbie islands. Permspell items can now only override cast spells up to 2/3 the permspell level, instead of up to the same level. Add a few more warning strings when your charisma is near the aggression limit of a mob. Also taper down the rate as your charisma increases. http://bit.ly/1CqBhaa

Alter Aeon Update Summary - December 2014 December 18, 2014 at 07:01AM Here's a list of Alter Aeon updates since the October update: New and updated areas: The underground city of Runn-Khal has opened on the island of Kordan. This level 16 zone provides a fun story and quest line for players not quite ready for Qoorik or the other high level areas on Kordan. The catacombs below Azeroth Keep on the island of Archais have been updated and expanded. The area is now a level 27 group zone, and should provide lots of fun for players not yet ready to approach the mainland. On the mainland, three level 31 areas have opened to the northwest of Ralnoth: Wallachia City, the Village of Vom, and the ruined castle of Radobaj. These areas were put together by the builders Draak and Shadowfax. We've also put a lot of work into adjusting levels on the new player islands to streamline them and make sure players can find zones appropriate for their level. Server code updates: Add item fetch jobs to the new player islands. Use the 'job find' command on each island to hunt down available jobs. Additions to the various event commands, including teleporting players to event areas and making events more friendly to low level players. Vast improvements and additions to mob arenas. Mob arenas can now be used as part of events, and there have been a lot of fixes to allow more class spells and skills to work in arenas. Casting cleric spells now requires the wisdom and charisma stats, instead of wisdom and intelligence. The charisma requirement is currently very low - approximately ten points below the wisdom requirement. The charisma requirement is expected to raise by one point every few months until it is four points below the wisdom requirement. Existing players can buy a stat swap for approximately 150k gold to help update their character. There's a new Mush-Z release which fixes some startup and reinstall bugs. Game events: The December advent calendar has been running since the first, so don't forget to log in and get your advent gifts! These special gifts only appear in December, so if you miss them, you have to wait until next year. Our year end events are coming up in a couple of weeks. Check the 'show event' and 'show schedule' commands in the next few days for more information. Lastly, the Alter Aeon 20th Anniversary event is coming up the week of January 15th. This marks two full decades of Alter Aeon, and we expect to see a lot of older faces as well as new. We hope to see you there!
