There's always a lot to do in December, especially with the holidays, so we have to start early
Updates This Month
Updates This Month
- Everyone that has a stocking will be getting 2 gifts from staff. We of course will not tell you what either of them are Remember that the stockings can be taken down starting Christmas Day (December 25) by double clicking them. After that they work like a regular container and make a great decoration item. If you cannot see the stockings, it means you need to patch up on the OSI patches.
- Starting Christmas Eve (December 24) and lasting through the day after Christmas (midnight December 26), if you log in you'll receive a Gift Box with a gift that cannot be gotten any other way, but you must log in during those times to receive one.
- The Winter Decorations should all say "Winter 2008" on them. All of them (excluding the snowmen) will be deleted on (or after) March 1, 2009. You can purchase extra items from the Winter Vendors.
- The Christmas Decorations should all say "Christmas 2008" on them. All of them (excluding the stockings) will be deleted on January 1, 2009. (This also includes the Gift Boxes, so please don't store anything in them you wish to keep.)
- In both cases, you should automatically get your decorations upon logging in along with a message saying you got them.
- The Winter Vendor was introduced. They sell snowballs to pelt your friends with, extra Winter Decorations, and lots of yummy food. They also have amusing things to say, but they were modified to talk less than before.
- The snowballs are one time use snowballs, but you can buy as many as you want and we will NOT be deleting them. Stock up and have a snowball war
- It is now Winter on MU, however there's a side effect in that all Classic Christmas Trees have lost their needles (which doesn't make sense I know) and trees placed with the yard wand will also have invisible leaves. They will re-appear in Spring.
- There will be a Christmas Sale on the Gold Stones from December 10 to December 15. During that time, everything will be 15% off normal price. Gold Stone items make great gifts
- Just an update about the Stealable Roses. Since almost no one finds them ever, we decided to give you 2 hints. The first is that they only appear in Felucca, and the second is that they will probably never be in the same spot twice. Good luck
- Made a fix to the Spellcaster's Keys so that they gave out the proper amounts of certain items.
- The possible prize list for The Arena was modified.
- The price of snowballs was cut in half.
- You can no longer use the Dragon Breeder's Ring when casting spells.
- Fixed a glitch with the Dragon Breeder's Ring that let you lower or raise your follower slots.
- Animal Taming Trainers can no longer be used as a mount for your mercenary.
- Mercenaries skill display page of their stat gump now displays relevant skills and not ones that they don't even use.
- Mercenaries can be trained with 30 more stat points after their last stage.
- Bless Bags now work for all the characters on your account, but they will still be bound to whatever character got it first.
- Skill Talismans were introduced. They come in 4 different varieties and each one has a random negative skill bonus from -30 to -1. They also have an Experience Level Requirement based on the amount of the skill bonus. They can be used to train any skill up to 130.0 assuming your cap is that high. Skill Talismans can be obtained by simply claiming kills, and your chances to get one are based on luck, the higher the better.
- Skill Cap Balls had the rest of the skills added to them so that you can raise all skills to 130.
- Underground City Changes
- Underground City is now it's own region in the world.
- You are no longer allowed to mark runes in houses or The Castle in Underground City. If you have any such runes, please throw them away.
- When releasing a pet, it will automatically have the correct range which is 10 instead of the normal 30.
- You can no longer use a Yard Wand outside of your house in Underground City, not that you were supposed to try before.
