Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Dec 29, 20 From Draak: Mining in event areas should now give objects with more appropriate levels. (Morpheus) Tweaks to mob aggro and high concentration events. You can now relabel bottled potions after a different spell that they have, if they have more than one. (Asclepius) Removed event show information from 'event quest'. (Morpheus) Appraise will now indicate if an object cannot have runes added to it due to the internal calculations of the rune carving skills, which are not entirely dependent of the item's composite and quality level. From Valront: Adjusted brag aep to make strings more sane in corner case situations. https://bit.ly/37U1ypw

Alter Aeon server updates for Dec 27, 20 From Valront: Added NOTEACH flag to sunder, but specific sunder trainers have been set up to compensate. Blocking a player now prevents that player from giving you objects. (Volk) Add new brag "areaexplorer" ("aep" for short) to brag local explorer points. (Shryth) From Mutt: Added to Skeletal Lich insult strings. Purge blood now removes deathly sleep from the target. (Meyaa) https://bit.ly/3rywl2Q

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Dec 23, 20 From Valront: Death and Decay no longer dependant on obscure spells. (Frak) The string for Death and Decay falling off of targets now has color to match the string for landing it on a target. Added color to strings for successful casts of bloodmist (Frak) Lifetap half hp limit removed - you could already lifetap down to almost nothing this just removes the extra steps. (Frak) Haste no longer hits spell save, this really only served to be a minor annoyance for players trying to haste themselves. (even MOAR Frak) Removed magic dtype from rotting sphere, this should help improve its performance in MOST cases as it will no longer hit two saves. (Frak) Suspended rule that disallowed mortals of a god worshiping their god. Recent code changes have automated most god actions and removed manual pantheon commands, greatly reducing conflicts of interest. As we continue this work, we may remove the rule completely. https://bit.ly/2WG1CTl

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Dec 20, 20 From Brak: Updates to autotalk feature: New command 'tsrule temptalk' to list which mobs have temporary talk strings assigned. Add shopkeeper, in_town and guard to rules. Continue to refine rules. Talkstring groups now save/load. From Draak: Your character will now have a personal record of the heaviest fish you've ever caught, visible with with brag/show fish. (Everyone on event channel) Skeletal knights now have slightly different ground strings from regular skeletons. Gather mushroom, gather herb, gather bullets and forage now work like gather firewood. Mobs that attack sleeping characters may now exihibit aggression towards players that are crafting or gathering supplies. Be cautious! To offset some of the inconvenience, the minimum level of harvested herbs and mushrooms is now the level of the area in which they were harvested (if the player gathering them is at least as high level as the area). https://bit.ly/3h8OY90

Alter Aeon server updates for Dec 18, 20 Invisibility can no longer be cast on objects. We are planning significant changes to invisibility in the near future, and this is one part. From Draak: Added 'set autocompare'. This toggles off the automatic comparison of worn equipment and equipment that is listed or identified. Crafting super bonus should now be a bit less stingy. https://bit.ly/37ybGE0

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Dec 06, 20 From Dentin: The "real time" timers on objects have been improved, so that they now destroy objects when they expire instead of setting a nosave flag. From Valront: Added color to both double cap and double exp mode strings to make them stand out more. Added strings for casting protection from evil on targets, and a fail string for when the target already has the protection from evil spell on them. This should only impact scrolls and wands as the spell still isn't castable on others through normal means. From Shadowfax: Make it possible to get instakill achievements beyond your first ranged freak 5. (Sirand) The damage of ranged weapon freaks are not only multiplied but are now cumulative. Playershop updates: Playershop owners can now choose to deny service to particular player. All players associated with the same account are also excluded. By default, playershops will no longer service players without an account. If you are a shop owner and want to sell to non-account players, an administrator can set it up for you. All multis of all names on a shop's owner list will be recognized as owners as well. https://bit.ly/3qzqU35

(Mertag) Added catchers and soulstones to crafting labels. From Valront: Added color to faerie fire strings cause locane isn't here to add color to everything and someone has to fill that void. Prevent gather in solaced rooms to help quell some types of botting. (Leos) https://bit.ly/3qFOBan

Alter Aeon December 2020 Update

For the month of December, we are giving out our Advent Calendar gifts. Log in every day to collect your daily gift! Our next game event, the annual Winter Solstice Celebration, will begin on Monday, December 21st and end on the morning of Sunday, January 3rd. This year there will be a little something for everyone: Christmas cannons to shoot, teleporting mobs to kill, reindeer and New Year mobs to possess for pk, and the return of the Tower of Challenge and The Forest of Good Will Gathering! We added three new skills in November: - The necromancer skill 'graft undead', which allows you to add forged spikes, studs and scales to your undead constructs to improve their hitroll, damroll and armor, respectively. - The general alchemy skill 'reduce reagent', which lets you create concentrated versions of spell components to increase their level, at the cost of mass. - The haberdashery skill 'livery' which lets you create bespoke clothing of various sorts. Other recent improvements include: - Upgrades made to leathercrafted weapons to make them more viable. - ‘Enchant essence’ now works on held items. - A new crafted weapon was added: the estoc, a rare variety of two-handed rapier. - There is now a new lootcrate: the crafting sampler crate. These give one mineral, one metal bar and one piece of wood when purchased. Once hunting code is far enough along, it will also include a hide or pelt. (More on that below.) Our previous event, Thanksgiving 2020, featured the false god of pestilence, Chalcuihtotolin, making a bid for power by unleashing plague-infested turkeys across Alter Aeon. Players slaughtered them by the thousands, but not before avatars and later, aspects, of Chalcuihtotolin were able to manifest. In the end, the Jeweled Turkey withdrew his influence, and is rumored to be gathering power for a future assault. For this event, disease mechanics have been added to the game. Diseases are long-lasting and can be debilitating, but they are easily prevented and removed by spells and skills that work against poisons. In the future: - Substantial progress has been made on the encounter code, paving the way for opening the City of Fonts and the autogenerated Field of Fonts. - We have started prepping code for the hunting skill, which we hope will be finished early next year. - Archery tournaments continue to be developed as a weekly system event. - Many new areas are on their way to completion in order to be released alongside the level cap increase to 39 next January.
