Alter Aeon December 2021 Update

Happy December, everybody! First of all, we want to announce the dates for this year’s Winter Solstice event. This game event will start on Monday, December 20th and will end on Monday, January 3rd. There will be the Emergency Package Delivery Systems, and the New Year vs. Old Year and the Christmas reindeer player possessed pk mobs will both be enabled. There will be a main storyline that will kick off in stages throughout the two weeks. Hopefully there will be enough to fill your stockings with a little fun, a few new goodies and lots of experience. Also we are currently giving out our December Advent Calendar gifts, so be sure to log in each day for your gift. Last month, the Khal-Toresh zone was reopened. There are new mobs, updated old ones, new equipment, and all the old equipment up to modern standards. Some of the layout was changed and hopefully any other issues were fixed up. The new questline for the area starts by talking to the physician in Ralnoth. Here are some more updates made in the month of November: Some more changes were made to campfires: player made campfires aid regeneration more but are more difficult to maintain in bad weather and impossible in flooded terrain, and pre-made campfires now help with regeneration and unchilling, but not as strongly as player made ones. The druid plant healing spell, ‘bloom’, is stronger and has much shorter cycles now. A new brew command option was added: “brew unguent list”. This command shows which cleric spells can be added to unguents, and how well you know each spell, if at all. A 'brew check' command that lists all spell components, herbs and food in your inventory was also added. You must know the ‘reagent lore’ to use it. There have been changes to bleeding, such as from bloodletting stab. Bleeding routines are all universal. They can be stopped by the cleric ‘heal’ spell or necromancer ‘bloodbond’ spell. The first part of the druid brew changes is in, with 'brew tincture' having been renamed 'brew infusion'. You can no longer join a pk arena if you have any active curses. New tailored livery item has been added: bloomers, to wear under your skirts. New forged objects: the broadhead and the blunt-tip. These variant arrowheads allow you to change arrow and bolt damage from piercing to slash or pound, respectively, making ranged weapons more versatile. More random loot options were added for builders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRo4rhCNMUQ

Alter Aeon server updates for Dec 04, 21 From Shadowfax:Damage reduction of assisting minions from area-of-effect damage is nowinversely proportional to the level of the minion, starting at about 50%for level 1 and ending up at 20% reduction for level 30 minions.Smooth out a couple of trap related issues. Traps are reduced to 3/4effective level only in solo areas below level 30, and level offsetsof traps in autolevel zones are only clipped in group areas.Alignment restrictions on worshipping gods removed. You can choose toworship any god irregardless of preferred alignment, although convertingwill require more sacrifices if alignments conflict. You will no longersuffer favor penalties if your alignment doesn't match your chosen god'salignment, but you will not automatically gain favor and will have towork toward earning it. https://bit.ly/3pqRUCh

Alter Aeon November 2021 Update

Our Day of the Dead event went great, so it’s time for our next event! The Alter Aeon Thanksgiving 2021 will start on November 23rd and end on November 29th or 30th. We’ll be re-introducing the turkey shoot game along with numerous other quests for players new and old alike. Here’s a review of updates in October: - The Field of Fonts is now far more open than before, with very few dead ends. Some new mobs have been added to its random encounters and jobs, ranging from obscure demon lord avatars to newly awakened rust dragons. - Two new dragonbreath attacks were added: crystal and earth. - The ‘agility’, ‘brawn’ and ‘waterbreathing’ spells can be added druidic spellstaves. - Druidic totems and fetishes now have druid cast level by default. ‘Enchant essence’ can enchant druid cast level on items that are wielded, held or worn on fingers, wrist, body and feet, but only if they are not primarily made from metal. - The ‘hawkeye’ tincture is now awareness, which gives you a small passive bonus to searching, lockpicking, casing and avoiding stealthy attacks and traps. - A number of changes to how traps work aimed at better balancing them were made. - Mage orientated achievements were added. Here are some more updates planned for November in addition to the event: - Player made campfires will be more difficult to start and maintain during inclement weather such as rain, snow and high winds. Their bonus to regeneration for resting and sleeping characters has been increased. Builder made campfires will increase regeneration similar to player campfires, though not as much. - The 'brew unguent list' will display a list of all cleric spells that can be added to unguents, and how well you know each one (if at all). - There will be changes to the druid brewing skills. These involve removing the need to learn each salve or tincture individually and instead learning salves by groups and learning new brewing techniques. Furthermore, we will be consolidating the different salves into several groups with related effects, for example, there will be an olfactory salve skill that includes ‘cover scent’, ‘reeking odor’ and ‘insect repellent’. - Tinctures will be changing into tonics. ‘Brew tincture’ is becoming ‘brew infusion’, the most basic form of tonic. These work identically to brew tincture. Two new skills, ‘reduce decoction’ and ‘reduce tonic’, will be introduced. Decoctions are infusions that are heated over a fire to concentrate their magic, reducing their volume but increasing their level. Tonics add alcoholic beverages to infusions, which add restorative effects to the brew, providing the reaction goes well. - We hope to finally re-release Khal-Toresh, the Dwarf Village, a level 35 area, during the month of November. - Work continues to expand the soundtrack for the dclient. Most planes and situational music is done, so we’re concentrating on overworld and area “families”, such as Aztecs having their own theme. - Work also continues on the hunting skill. As stated in the last update, there will be changes to current hunter jobs to accommodate this upcoming skill. - Changes are planned for god worship, such as removing earning negative favor if your alignment conflicts with that of your god and making spheres do more than just change which abilities your god’s supernals use. We’ll also be working on the Winter Solstice event intended for December. For more information, please refer to our latest Youtube update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7t8PU98u0k

Alter Aeon October 2021 Update

Happy harvest season, from the staff of Alter Aeon! It is October once again, and in Alter Aeon that means it’s time once again for Halloween Havoc! This year’s event is called the Day of the Dead will start on Friday, October 29th and end on the morning of Tuesday, November 2nd. In addition to the usual pumpkin cannons and pk arena battles, this Halloween event will have an very special and spooky questline! Whether you’ve been playing for years or have just started, the event will have something to do for everyone! Here are some highlights from last month’s changelog: - ‘Haste’ now being an electrical spell. It no longer ages you, but it makes you easier to stun. - Infravision is now a fire spell dependent on ‘burning hands’ and works a little differently now. - Strength spell became ‘brawn’ and dexterity spell became ‘agility’, and both are now druid animal spells. - ‘Water breathing’ also became a druid animal spell. - ‘Brawn’, ‘agility’ and ‘water breathing’ can be added to spellstaffs. - The gills tincture is now ‘winterkin’, which makes you regenerate mana faster when temperatures are low. - Some minions, such as black panthers, vipers, ghouls and vampires are now stealthier than others. - Vampires, including vampire minions, now regenerate a very small amount of healthy with every melee attack against a creature with blood, as long as that creature is not poisoned. - Ghoul minions now do more damage against poisoned targets. - Studs and spikes can now be added to woodcrafted clogs. - Leathercrafted sporrans can be added to tailored kilts. - Forged metal bars had a unique word added to the string to make them easier to sort and organize. - Lapidary should now work with coral again. - The ground cleaner routine is now very aggressive with discarded crafted items, because some people were being litterbugs. In addition to the upcoming event, one thing we plan on releasing is the hunting skill. Hunting will be a mini-game akin to fishing but a bit more involved and a bit more dangerous. You’ll be able to hunt in groups, so you go out hunting with your buddies! Successful use the skill will land you supplies for cooking and other crafting skills. In anticipation of this skill, we’ll be changing hunter jobs into slayer jobs. These new slayer jobs will be able to be completed by groups of players like quests can be. As we approach the end of the year, a lot of effort will be put into upcoming events for next few months. We have Thanksgiving, the Winter Solstice and our anniversary next January to look forward to. We hope you enjoy all we have to offer on Alter Aeon!

Alter Aeon August 2021 Update

Hello there! Alter Aeon’s big summer event has just come to its conclusion, but the next game event is right around the corner! In three weeks, we will have our Labor Day event, where we will present a continuation of the story areas from the summer event, along with level 5 fortuitous notary. The Labor Day event is set to begin on September 6th. You’ll keep your progress along the questline and in the bonus class from before, or if you didn’t have a chance to start them before, you’ll have another! Here is a summary of recent changes: - Lowered the extra hitroll group-calibrated mobs gain to make them more survivable at high levels. - Modernizing and adding mid-level equipment around Ralnoth, Daigaku-tatami and the Aztecs. - Numerous small tweaks have been made to spells and skills to help them be more balanced, including some changes to how plural mobs interact with certain skills, improvements to flamestrike's interaction with curses and a retooling of flourish's morale draining. - A variety of changes to crafting skills, including the ability to add brooches to tailored cloaks, shawls and other outwear, adjusting the costs of craft quality improvements to more reasonable amounts, chain whips as a new forged simple weapon and a change to sky iron to make it more workable while retaining its ability to create high quality equipment. - Tweaks have been made to the Field of Fonts, including making more plashets (short-distance portals) and the addition of two-way plashets. - Various small improvements to weekday events, in particular to archery contests to make them more fair and to Thirsty Thursday newbie helper tasks to make sure they always trigger. - Added a few more pieces of cast and skill level equipment in various areas through the starting islands and added a new little quest in the beanstalk area. For the future: - We’ve been doing extensive work for the Halloween event, and we have something in the works for Thanksgiving, as well. - The concealment enchant will be transformed into something more interesting in the near future. - Tons of soundtrack work has been done in preparation for the next dclient release, which will feature map icons and a full musical/ambient soundtrack. - Releasing the newly updated Khal-Toresh by the end of August. We are also hoping to have finished the Mire of Madness, the final group 15 level 44 area for the Nightmare Plane.

Alter Aeon Dungeons and Dragons Campaign

Hope you’re having a great summer so far! Our highly anticipated next big game event is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 19th. The main questline will center around the origins of the Order of the White Knights and will feature several single player zones. The event also heralds the return of two exclusive event areas with their own unique challenges. The Puzzlewood Mire is intended for high level players and throws wave after wave of monsters of increasing strength at participants. The other is Starving Rock, an area for players of all levels where the goal is to slay as any monsters as possible. We will also have a special bonus class available to those who complete event quests. (This event is based on our recently concluded D&D campaign dramatizations, see below for a link.) Much effort has been put into balancing mob saving throws in the past month, making them scale better with level and having each saving throw interact more fairly with other saving throws when determining a mob’s overall strength. Our builders continue to construct the Mire of Madness, a level 44 group 15 zone for the Nightmare Plane, and a new island is schedule to be built for Gianasi. There has also been progress on a new level 38 zone for the Isle of Naginag. A lot of effort will directed into the upcoming event, but, as usual, there are plans for some small improvements such as upgrading doors, adding more music and more features for future events. For more information, please refer to our latest Youtube update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epx7h962I30 For more lore concerning our upcoming event, we invite you to listen to our D&D dramatization playlist, found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZDGmdMw-47FBTkYTloMwRMl2af_7ixnR

Alter Aeon June 2021 Update

Happy Summer Solstice! Here’s the June 2021 update of Alter Aeon! Usually we do a game event around this time but it’s going to be a little later this year. Right now we’re shooting for middle of July, so we’ll offer a more precise timetable in next month’s update. The plan is to release event areas in two groups, with the first available from the start and the next set opened a week later. We’ll be releasing the special area Starving Rock and also the Puzzlewood Mire alongside the main event zones if there is enough interest in doing so. Last month, we released the Twisted Jungle of Foreboding, a level 44 group 15 area on the Nightmare Plane. There are two high level area in progress that should be completed soon. One will be the follow up of the aforementioned area, called the Mire of Madness. The other will be a level 38 zone for the Isle of Naginag. Here’s a list of highlights from last month’s changelog: - A new mob type was added: SHADOW. - A new heraldic beast was added: the hippopotamus. - A few tweaks were made to which spells can be groupcast, and we made it so that if a spell can be groupcast, it will show up on its help page. Help pages will also now show if a spell can be maintained, and help pages now show if a skill can be used while resting, berserking, tanking, defending, entangled, etc. - A few minor changes were made to the levels of some spells and skills to flatten a few pain points in the practice curve. - We also made adjustments to woodcrafted shields so that kite shields are now two-handed shields and kite shields and round shields will have about half the armor of tower shields and heater shields, respectively, to give more room for carving, enchantments, etc. - You can now set composition on clan doors. - You tell if a Font (from the Field of Fonts) if unstable by looking at now, instead of having to cast identify on it. Also, unstable Fonts are now be somewhat easier to dispel. - Chill touch now lowers saving normal. Multiple castings are required to get the full effect. This synergizes well with icebolt and frostbite. - Scorch and chill touch no longer stick to FIRE type creatures, and static blast no longer sticks to ELECTRICITY type creatures. - Event announcements and the accompanying sounds should no longer show if you have the event channel off. - The effectiveness of some no-norm weapon types has been pulled back. - ‘Cooking check’ will now recognize culinary salts. - The spell 'cure blindness' is now 'vision', to remove conflicts with ‘cure poison’. - Add more options for using credits. More work was done our our official client, the dclient. We added map icons, specifically to accommodate wandering mobs and when shopkeepers/teachers/priests are killed, and dclient MSP sounds removed from room weather strings. Infrastructure for playing longer weather tracks using the music system was added. For more information, check out our latest update on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_INPFGHQdE Also, the final installment of our D&D campaign has been uploaded. The story of this campaign directly contributes to the summer event. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWXhnjw5JRQ

Alter Aeon April 2021 Update

Hello one and all! We at Alter Aeon are pleased to announce our next game event: the Mayday mini-event, which will begin on Saturday May 1st and end on Wednesday, May 5th. It will once again feature the crashed starship zone with players piloting mining spiders! Players both new and old can try their reflexes against deadly plant aliens from outer space in this unique and challenging scenario! Updates made in March: Changes to cleric spellgroups, including the merger of ‘curses of the mind’ and ‘curses of the body’ into the tribulation spellgroup, the restructuring of the ‘know evil’ and undead handling into the inquisitor spellgroup, and changing the unusual curses spellgroup into ‘divine wrath’. - ‘Protection from evil’ is now ‘protection from demons’. It is more limited in scope, protecting from demons, and to a lesser extent, undead and angels. There will be more adjustments to alignment in the near future. - Advancing in the Scribe's Guild now makes scribing scrolls less expensive as your rank increases. - ‘Flame blade’ and ‘mystic armament’ can now affect multiple pieces of carried ammunition if cast without a target. - Cold damage from icebolt, frostflower and chill touch is now enhanced in watery terrain, though not to the same extent as cone of cold. - The measure command now gives rough sizes for entities on the ground in addition to weight estimates. - Stone knapping is now tied more closely to the lapidary skill, relying on the lapidary code to determine knappable stones instead of its own internal system. - Archery contest winners can participate in the archery contest, but they cannot win it as long as their bull's eye boon reward is active. - Changes to crafted ranged weapons, to make them more competitive. - The Sinar’i valley, a level 33 area, was fixed up so that mobs should yield better experience, and a few new mobs, equipment and quests were added. This month we plan on updating Khal-Toresh, the dwarf village, and releasing the jungle area from February's death march. We are making improvements to the dclient mapper, so that landmarks, banks, seaports and shops show up on the mini-map. Plans to add guildmasters and teachers to the map are ongoing. Dclient music is also coming soon! The code is fully functional, so we’re just building up a library of tracks to play.

Alter Aeon server updates for Mar 22, 21 From Brak: Make it easier for newbies without the searching skill to find hidden doors and exits in low level zones. (Morpheus) From Draak: Add infrastructure to add landmarks, seaports, forges, banks and certain shops to the dclient map. The cold damage from icebolt, frostflower and chill touch is enhanced by watery terrain, though not as aggressively as cone of cold. Bumped breath of life up in the parser, so it should trigger before bravery. If you cast flame blade and mystic armament without a target, they will attempt to bind to ammo in your inventory. The higher your casting level, the more ammo they will bind to. (Iliothro) Knapping has been tied more closely with lapidary. It will now only work with lapidary materials that have a conchoidal fracture (this includes all forms of quartz and many other minerals including jade, peridot, obsidian and azurite). Higher difficulty materials will create stone tools with higher hitrolls. Knapped tools are flagged fragile (see below). Fragile-flagged weapons are more easily disarmed, and fragile-flagged weapons and shields are more easily sundered. By popular demand, archery contest winners can participate in archery contests, but they cannot upset the scoring or win again until their bull's eye boon expires. https://bit.ly/3lD2EeD

Alter Aeon March 2021 Update

We hope everyone enjoyed our Valentine's Eve Massacre death march last month! Our next event will be the Spring Festival. This event will begin on Friday, March 19th and end on Monday, March 22nd. Among other exciting event quests and activities, we'll be releasing the jungle area we used for the death march as a new level 44 group 15 zone. Here are some highlights from last month's updates: - Tuesday archery contests are now operational! Contests will be held periodically throughout the day every Tuesday. - Minor cleanup and additions to the Field of Fonts. - Being dazed/stunned now instills a penalty to dexterity. - The “value” command can now directly target objects, and it can still be used with shopkeepers as well. - Ebon adamantine is now dark adamantine, to prevent parsing conflicts with ebon mithril. - Crafting sampler lootcrates now come with a skin, hide, pelt or shell. - The ability for builders to add randomized crafting supplies to containers has been added, so you may come across stashes of hides, boards, metal ingots and more. - ‘Afflict’ now lowers spellsave for both ethereal and corporeal targets. This makes afflict more consistent and useful for making targets vulnerable to follow-up curses. - Changes to strings and the help page for bloodletting stab to reflect the fact that you can rip into enemies with your hands if you're wearing hand equipment with the right dtype. - A new spell called 'scorch' has been added to replace the fireball spell, and greater fireball has become the new fireball. - Another addition was that of entropy for a god's preferred element, which engages the poison damage type for related spells. Here are some planned updates for March: - Builders will have the capability of generating randomized areas. This will primarily be used for events. - We’ll be adding another Thirsty Thursday task or two, including a possible bout of drunken target shooting. - Alter Aeon’s official client, the dclient, has audio stack and music fading code is in place, and we are hard at work setting up routines to handle music for players and produce a soundtrack for the game. - We’ll be will be smoothing over stone knapping code and tying it more tightly to lapidary defines. This is part of a longer term program to make the crafting code more cohesive and readable.

Alter Aeon server updates for Mar 06, 21 From Mutt: Added string when clearing all acid off another target with create water. From Draak: Added shortinsult mode, for shortid. If shortinsult is on, shortid will show an object's insult string. Shortinsult is off by default. Crafted crossbows should now have decent hitroll. (Colonel) Cleric unusual curses split out of tribulation spellgroup, forming divine wrath spellgroup. (Dentin) Continual light is now critical, and only costs 1 practice. https://bit.ly/3l32ahH

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 28, 21 From Valront: Minor formatting fixup to weapon speed in shortID. Overconfidence renamed 'bravery' and is no longer a curse. Bravery is now dependent on faith shield and it part of the Divine Aid spellgroup. Despair and remorse are now dependent on feeble mind. Minor hint string fixes and tweaks. Fireball is now 'scorch', scorch does single target fire damage and applies a fire save debuff to living targets. Greater fireball is now 'fireball'. (cause that isn't confusing right?) Players will now be notified when they regain their morale. Frag grenades now use color from the credit buy crystal color options. Fire shield, flamestrike and firebombs now use color from the credit buy fire color options. Call lightning now uses color from the credit buy lightning color options. Ground strike now uses color from credit buy lightning and fire color options when wielding appropriate damage types. Demonfire also now uses fire color, it will use the dark version of selected colors to stay in theme, default color will now be yellow to line up with other fire colors. From Draak: Misc archery contest cleanup. Thank you for the feedback, everyone! Strengthened checks for showing the level of crafted components. The minimum duration of vigor and fortitude has been increased. (Uicli) Changes to cleric spellgroups: Feeble mind and faerie fire are now dependent on afflict, merging the cleric curse spellgroups. Remove poison is now dependent on soothe wounds, grafting the cure poison tree into the healing spellgroup. Sacred touch is now dependent on inflict wounds, grafting the undead handling tree into the divine might spellgroup. Groupcasting is now part of the cleric meditation spellgroup. Remove curse is now lift curse. https://bit.ly/3kuq19F

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 21, 21 From Valront: Fixed bug causing vulnerability to no longer be a curse. Finished cleric newbie hint strings (for now.) Huge thanks to Shryth for helping me proof read and edit them. Tripping will no longer grant non-living mobs conciousness only to cruely rip it away from them less than a second later. Increased scribing mana cost on mage combat spells to match old values. Gods may now be toxic, eg. have 'entropy' be their prefered element. This causes Toxic/Poison to be their prefered damage type and save. This comes with all the usual benefits of having a prefered element. From Draak: Clean-up of strings when attempting to 'drop all' inside of storage lockers. Ebon adamantine is now dark adamantine, to prevent parsing conflicts with ebon mithril. Impale no longer works on plural mobs. Crafting sampler lootcrates now come with a skin, hide, pelt or shell. Afflict now lowers spellsave for both etheral and corporeal targets, and does not lower normsave. This makes afflict more consistent and useful for making targets vulernable to follow-up curses. Fishing derby and archery contest system sends transferred over the event announcement system, so will only show up if you have the event channel on. New characters will have the event channel turned on automatically at level 5. String clean-up and highlights for archery contest. The archery contest will return your ammo from off the ground before returning you to your recall. Changes to strings and the help page for bloodletting stab, to reflect the fact that you can rip into enemies with your hands, if you're wearing hand equipment with the right dtype. RIP AND TEAR, UNTIL IT IS DONE. https://bit.ly/3pIJp3w

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 14, 21 From Valront: All mage blasting spells have had their mana costs cut roughly in half. This is an extremely experimental change and may be subject to further adjustments depending on the results over the next few weeks. https://bit.ly/3b3Vif7

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 13, 21 From Brak: Raise threshold on freak 4 soulsteal notifies. Enable automatic generation of talk strings. This should improve over time and more mobs will be covered as builders refine the various rules. Fighting characters now have their own talk strings. From Shadowfax: Use real life timers for delivery job objects instead of tick timers. (Ivey) Fix bug that prevented mobs with wield flags from using shadow strike without an actual weapon. (Rowroad) Cartographer jobs should properly setup landmarks in instances. (Juggernaut, Druidia, Absolute, and Sport) From Draak: Minor cleanup with Field of Fonts encounter handling. Check command will now tell you if you have empty equipment slots, or if you are wearing equipment more than 10 levels lower than your primary class. Being dazed/stunned now instills a penalty to dexterity, instead of more targeted defense penalties, which were not working correctly. Lowered the level ceiling for mobs in the Field of Fonts. Most mobs will be closer to 43-45, but some boss types will still be higher level. Fixed a movement bug with crushing ores into spellcomps. Fixed effects bug with forging pitch black metal. (Fumo) The value command can now directly target objects. It can still be used with shopkeepers as well. This is useful as shortid does not show an item's estimated cost. Tuesday archery contests are now operational! Contests will be held periodically throughout the day on Tuesday. Once a contest starts, you can join with 'event start contest'. https://bit.ly/2ZecfOy

Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 06, 21 Do a whole bunch of cleanup to clan stat, clan show, and various clan control parsing commands. You can now show some information about other clans using 'clan show'. From Shadowfax: Fix bug in cartographer and hunter jobs that allowed completion without doing anything. (Gresko) Added more mana and manaregen to incarnates so shadow god incarnates can use shadow strike, like they were always intended to. From Valront: Minor string fixes for newbie hints. https://bit.ly/3pWTkDE

Alter Aeon February 2021 Update

We are pleased to announce that level 39 is officially out, with a new spell or skill for each class! - Mage spell, greater ice elemental. Ice elemental don't hit hard but are effective against enemies weak to cold. They are capable of soaking up lots of damage and are effective tanks. - Cleric unguent, fey woe. This mixture causes great pain to fey creatures and can be applied to iron-based weapons in order to do greater damage against fairies. - Thief skill, grenadier. This skill makes thieves more skilled at throwing grenades, and allows them to avoid taking damage from grenade splash damage. - Warrior skill, impale. This attack is carefully executed thrust with a stabbing weapon that can stun an opponent. - Necromancer spell, crystal skull. These constructs can absorb incoming magical attacks and redirect that magic to heal allied undead and skeletal creatures. - Druid spell, storm of roses. This spell causes nearby foliage to transform into thorny brambles in order to attack all enemies in the near vicinity. Additionally, the Field of Fonts and the City of Fonts special zones are open and operational. Progress continues with several areas, including Nightmare Plane solo and group 4 areas, two new level 32 zones for western Atmir, two new level 34 zones for eastern Atmir, and three more level 38 zones for the Isle of Naginag. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’ll be having an event on the evening of Saturday, February 13th. We’ll also be releasing a new archery-themed weekday event around Valentine’s Day.

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Jan 31, 21 From Valront: Add a few newbie helper strings to cleric spells as an initial test. These will show up when the spell/skill is first learned. Added hint about 'harvest all' in to generic harvest command. Bottled potions should no longer be able to become autobind. From Brak: Slowed rate at which necromancers get fatigued from stealing successive souls. Adjusted the achievement collected 10 black soulstones to 1, and collected 10 white soulstones to 5. For those that have already met the new requirement this will trigger when they next soulsteal. https://bit.ly/3tanyF7

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Jan 30, 21 Minor improvements to grenade and grenadier damage. Some changes to how move regen is calculated to clean up some nonsensical combat handling code. Please let Dentin know if it's horribly broken. Cleric now has a wisdom stat cap of 39, similar to the mage intelligence stat cap of 39. Thief now has the same max stat cap for charisma as cleric. Change the spell/skill int/wis/chr calculation to scale properly with player level. Left unchecked, this would have made most spells uncastable when learned by level 45. Note that this raises the costs now slightly, while preventing a substantial mess for the future level 40 release. This also fixes a few spells (like hallowed ground) which were already uncastable at the level they were learned at. From Shadowfax: You can no longer gather while blinded. From Mutt: Adjusted prayer for the dying strings. Added acid removal from healing spells to mend bones. Restores now remove acid, reset negative morale, and boost morale. From Draak: If you know fey woe, you can see what mobs would be vulnerable to it on consider. Indomitable will cooldown resistances against entangling roots and shadow bind have been strengthened. Grenadier damage avoidance is now more pronounced. Magic poison is now magical poison. A small amount of damage reflection added to summoned fire elementals, i.e. when struck by a physical attack, the attacker has a chance to take fire damage. The material a crystal skull is made from has some effect on its ability to absorb elements. For example, a skull made from obsidian (which grants fire resistance) will be somewhat better at absorbing fire, but not quite as good at absorbing magic, ice and lightning. The difference is not huge. https://bit.ly/3afWICZ

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Jan 25, 21 Level 39 is officially on-line! Happy 26th Anniversary from the staff of Alter Aeon! From Draak: New craft label 'emptycatchers'. (Castmaster) Potion throwing now has a chance of dealing more powerful castings of spells, especialy if you manage to hit the target in the face. New level 39 mage skill, 'greater ice elemental' New level 39 warrior skill, 'impale' New level 39 thief skill, 'grenadier' New level 39 cleric skill, 'fey woe' New level 39 necromancer skill, 'crystal skull' Storm of roses is no longer a witch bonus spell. It is now a level 39 druid spell, with a few thematic tweaks. New high-level solo areas, the City of Fonts and the Field of Fonts, will be opening shortly. The Fields of Fonts is a first-of-its kind area, featuring a procedurally generated map that changes each reboot, randomly-placed treasures and enemies, new job types, mysteries to explore and randomized encounters that adjusts to the level of your your character. This project will be actively developed and tweaked as feedback is received. Please enjoy! https://bit.ly/3c3RbSx

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Jan 24, 21 Fix 'infinite tensor' bug and re-timer them on login. From Draak: Tweaked some warrior skills so that sleeping/prone mobs can't get out of the way. Added a few new colors, adjectives and fish types to fishing. The level of crafted components such as gems and forged studs should now show up on identify. Ore and forgeable ingots now have prices that are directly derived from how much it costs to work with the type of metal they are instead of broad extrapolations. There have been changes to jobs in prepartion for new high-level job types, mostly opaque to players. If you encounter any issues with existing jobs, please contact Draak or Shadowfax. From Mutt: Slightly reverted skeletal lich insult strings for player convenience. Greatly increase effectiveness of leadfoot against fleeing targets. Groupcast prayer for the dying will now affect the caster. From Brak: New 'credit buy clanrankstrings' option. Exclude plural mobs from soulsteal (Asclepius) New soulsteal code. This switches the focus from a mobs hp to the comparative levels of the spell and the target, as well as other factors such as a mob's constitution. This should mean that newbie mobs are fairly easy to steal from while mobs at the higher end become progressively more difficult. This can be offset by latching on presteal, lowering a mob's morale and raising your charisma. There is also some variation between different mob types with mobs that are more difficult to steal from generally giving slightly higher value souls. https://bit.ly/39cO1di

Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Jan 16, 21 From Valront: Minor string changes in identify info for bound objects and god loaded objects, you likely won't notice the difference. Added helpful reminder to check help files when putting your first practice in a skill/spell. Added color to various "You need to know 'x' to learn that." strings. Changed Shards from damage type pierce to damage type slice. Added hint strings for all non-obscure mage spells/skills up to level 15. Added framework for hint strings when learning new skills/spells for the first time. This is only on a few select mage skills/spells for now, but will be added to more with time. From Mutt: Restores now refill the hp/mana/move of player controlled minions. Increase level scaling on default 'alu' mode of mage channel casting. Reduced blood tap bottling cost to 25 gold and increased timer duration. Removed extra soulstone string from skeletal knight and skeletal lich. Added using soulstone string to bone dragon. Added destruction room string inside bone fortress prior to player ejection. Removed color highlight from shadow bind information in monster lore. Adjusted regen on cleric petitioned minions to standard values. Remove player name "are you sure" requirement when casting bone fortress. This should make it easier to emergency cast bone fortress, when you need it immediately and a parser fail would kill you. https://bit.ly/3nPoJGf

Alter Aeon

Welcome one and all to the latest monthly update for Alter Aeon! This update comes on the heels of the recently concluded Winter Solstice event. The extravaganza provided fun and activities for players of all stripes. This month we celebrate Alter Aeon's 26th anniversary! In honor of this, we will be raising the level cap from 38 to 39 and adding a number of new features to the game, one of which includes the Fields of Fonts, a special auto-generated area designed to provide new content for high level players. The map generates coherently, and loads Fonts, treasures, oddball features and batches of creatures taken from encounter files. Random encounters also trigger within the Field. It is scalable, and since it uses encounters for its population, its variety can be expanded ad nauseam. The final hurtle will be making Purnima-specific jobs functional. We have already tested a special addition to the survey command that shows players their relative position and distance to the City of Fonts, while anywhere in the Field of Fonts. Last month we added an option to relabel bottled potions with multiple spells, a 'set autocompare' option, and personal fishing records. We also altered crafting, gathering and mining to make them somewhat more risky around aggressive mobs. One of our next major projects will be a weekly archery tournament for Tuesdays. Other projects for the near future include expanding autogen map code for general use in events, the hunting skill, more custom gathering options, adding more runes to channel casting and setting up random crafting component drops. Additional upcoming code changes will address some autorestore features that aren't working quite right, fixing instakill achievements once and for all, creating freak achievements for mages, introducing a color filter for people who are colorblind, and working on the siteban command. In the building department, work on finishing Nightmare Plane solo and group 4 areas continues. We hope to have them finished soon the anniversary. We also continue to work on the Hinterlands zone, which we hope to finish in early spring. For more information, please see our latest Youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WVIUvJQVnw
