Alter Aeon April 2025 Update

Happy spring, everyone! Here are our March updates to Alter Aeon: - There have been more refinements with crafting, the biggest being making the various weapon guard types more distinct from one another. - The “compare” command will now accept worn body slot names, for example 'compare ring finger2' or 'compare hat head'. Compare can also now be used to compare object components of the same kind to one another, for example comparing two forged katana blades to see which one has higher stats or quality before assembling a katana. - Items harvested from mobs, such as meat, bones, bottled blood and venom, now remember the mob they came from. This will be used for new job types in the future. Bottled blood shows what race it came from, and venom is specific to the mob. - The intelligence requirement of the ‘ward breaker’ spell has been relaxed to make it more accessible to high level clerics who don’t necessarily have high int. - You can type 'event holiday' to see a list of Alter Aeon's official holidays. Plans for April: - Implementation of the ‘umbral thrall’ skill for level 40 thief. - Releasing the level 40 solo area Usha’s Dream. - Updating content in the southwest of the mainland of Atmir, which will include adding a few new areas to complete the coastline. The goal is to make the entire coastline walkable, or swimmable as the case may be. - Preparing for this year’s Summer Solstice Celebration, which will start in June.

Alter Aeon March 2025 Update

First, it is my sad duty to report that one of our senior staff members, Tarrant, passed away on February 22nd after a three and a half year long struggle with cancer. He was a long-time player and contributor to Alter Aeon and will be dearly missed. For more information, please refer to our latest Youtube update (link provided below). We will opening up a memorial to Tarrant in the village of Votara with a bulletin board where those who knew him can leave your thoughts. We also will be designing an annual holiday in his honor to celebrate his life and accomplishments. We had planned on a game-wide event in March (which should be starting soon if not already by the time this is posted). For this event we will be reintroducing the fortuitous notary bonus class first invented for the Summer Solstice celebration a few years ago. The bonus class, which is centered around luck, will be unlocked by gathering shamrocks. All level 40 areas equipment have now been re-leveled. Solo 40 areas should have all equipment be level 38, group 4 areas should be all level 39. and group 7 and up is now all total level 166. New equipment has been added to several areas like the City of Kings, the Disused Fane, The Tombs of the Forgotten, along with the paths around and between these areas. We have also been adding templates and correcting compositions on various objects across the game. The ‘scrap equipment’ skill is due for expansions: if you know the correct skills, you will be able to remove handles and guards from weapons and gemstones from jewelry to get usable (though likely degraded) parts. Encounter mobs will start showing up with auto-generated equipment. This includes several ship boarding encounters. Expect the next Wild Hunt you face to be better armed! Certain harvested items will retain more of the identity of the creature they came from. This is a precursor for some possible new jobs. Improvements are being made to our custom client for players with visual impairments, Mush-Z. There is a new March beta release which in addition to including some bug-fixes, there will be integration for the mud sound protocol (MSP) into the client. This has several benefits: 1. It will help fix some bugs where sounds are misfiring in inappropriate places. 2. Sounds are less likely to stop playing when there is a string change. 3. It can be used to fill in some of the gaps with missing sounds in the Mush-Z sound pack. 4. It will allow builder interactive sounds to be played. This having been said, by far the most exciting advantage of migrating to MSP is that those using the client will will get to choose to experience the superb custom Alter Aeon sounds and music currently enjoyed by users of the dclient, our custom client for sighted players.
