Alter Aeon May 2026 Update

Here’s the latest news from Alter Aeon! There are no major game events schedules for May. Our next system wide game event, the Summer Solstice Celebration, will occur in June. Details will be provide in next month’s update. Here are some updates from last month: - Rocs, phoenixes and thunderbirds summoned via the ‘call legendary raptor’ skill have improved stats, including increased dexterity and somewhat faster special attacks. Thunderbirds made more resistant to breath damage. - You can now see what kind of foods you can give to your called animals by looking at them. Note this only works for the person they are following. - Improvements to the output of the ports command when listing ports by name and 'ship buy list' command. - The ship job distance factoring should now be more generous for long trips. - There are now ship achievements related to the number of unique ports you personally visit. - You can now transfer cargo between ships using the 'ship transfer' command. The other ship must have a responsible player crew member aboard and an available hold. Work to improve the coastline around the continent of Ramanek with new content is ongoing. The city of Ruthien and associated Ruritanian Forest areas will be opening to the public later this month. Work will begin on the Shrouded Sea, which will be an inland sea south of the Green River Valley and north of the Verian Marsh. Mush-Z, our client for the visually impaired, now supports the playing of dclient music. The config soundpack command has been updated with new options: 1. Mush-Z pack 2. Dclient/MSP pack (without Dclient music) 3. Dclient/MSP pack (with Dclient music) Two new configuration settings have also been added. “Config msptype” selects the file type to use and “config msp_download” toggles automatic downloading of new sounds on or off.

Alter Aeon April 2026 Update

Happy Spring, everybody! Alter Aeon is wrapping up its egg-gathering Easter mini-event, but there is still plenty of news to share! Ship jobs are now active! There are three types: passenger, prisoner, and smuggler. Passenger jobs require a ship to have a cabin, while prisoner jobs need a ship with a brig. Smuggler jobs use regular cargo holds, but pay the least. Ship jobs can be listed and accepted with the 'ship job' commands. You can refit cargo holds of ships into cabins or brigs at certain ports. Ship jobs are automatically completed when you dock at the destination port. Ships in general are now a little cheaper, the repairs costs have been lessened, and they decay less quickly if docked. If a ship reaches maximum damage, instead of sinking, it becomes unseaworthy. Unseaworthy ships cannot take on new jobs, gather resources, buy from ports, and travel more slowly (i.e. crew morale drops faster). If an unseaworthy ship is not repaired for about a year, it will sink. A ship's reputation now has a small effect on the cost of cargo – ships with better reputations will get a small discount when buying and a small bonus when selling. A small percentage (about 5%) of all income earned by a ship (jobs and cargo sales) is now set aside as a ship budget. When you repair a ship, if the total cost of the repair can be covered by the ship's budget, it uses the ship's budget instead of your personal gold. Also in March: - A new area, the Dark Web, was released. This is a level 43 group 10 area on the Elemental Plane of Darkness. - If you know potion lore, you have a chance to produce grease when you fail at brewing a potion. This grease can be bottled and thrown at opponents. Greased opponents are easier to unbalance and more prone to getting set on fire. - Time has been spent fixing up the northern shoreline of the continent of Suboria to make it more consistent. A few new ports were added in there and around the mainland. Upcoming changes: - Efforts are being made to adding more ranged weapons and ammunition to various area. - Work in being done to normalize the coastline of the continent of Ramanek. Expect several new ports and areas to appear there in the future. - There is continued research for adapting MIDI signaling into the instrument code. - Work continues on solo and group 4 areas for the Nightmare Plane. - The City of Ruthien and associated forest area, level 34 zones, are close to completion.
