Alter Aeon December 2023 Update

Happy Holidays from all of us here at Alter Aeon! Currently we are giving out our December Advent Calendar gifts. You can log in every day throughout the month to receive more varied and powerful gifts than the rest of the year. Also, trees are roaming across the world, which many say make great wood woads! Our master world builder, Morpheus, will be running this year’s Winter Solstice event, which will begin on the day of the solstice: Thursday, December 21st, and will end noon system time on Tuesday, January 2nd. As per usual, there will activities for players of all levels to enjoy, both newcomers and old-timers alike. There will also be winter holiday-themed pk arena mobs available, my personal favorite being Rudolph the three-nosed mutant reindeer. We can expect to see the return of the EPDS (or emergency package delivery system), a mini-game similar to the pumpkin throwers of the Halloween Havoc event. Skill and spell changes: - The ‘lighteater’ and ‘silence’ enchants are now obscure. - The necromancer skill 'graft undead' has been lowered to level 34. - Spell/skillgroups added to spell and skill help pages. - The mage 'shards' spell has a small chance to start bleeding on lightly armored targets. Crafting changes: - New composition and mined item: marble. Our lead coder, Draak, is honestly surprised we didn't have it before. - Grafted spikes, studs and scales should given somewhat higher bonuses to undead creatures the higher quality they are. Balance changes: - Grafting scales to undead now gives them a modest bonus to hitpoints. - The Armor Class for all ice and crystal elementals is now slightly higher. The AC for Incarnates lowered slightly. - The intrinsic spells cast by mage summoned elementals have been changed up a bit. The control cost of mage mid-range elementals have been lowered. It should now be possible, at high levels, to stack lesser and mid-tier elementals so that their abilities can play off of each other, for instance a lesser lightning elemental's static blast can trigger an explosion off of an ice elemental's frost flower. - Creatures that are on fire, such as from ‘flameweb’ or firebombs, are more easily blinded. They also get no bonus from wisdom against stunning. - Raised ghoul bonus damage to nauseated foes increased a bit. - The potency of sharpness has been increased, and campfires reduce the amount of time it takes to become sharp even more. Upcoming changes: - ‘Brew acid’ is moving to the decantation/general alchemy skillgroup and dropping in level. The recipe for brewing acid is going to be somewhat easier. Players will be able to use acids to increase the purity of ores and leech new spell components out of various materials. Draak has an etching skill planned as well that will utilize acids for modifying equipment, but it won't be ready for a while. - Random equipment will have a chance to simply have a boosted quality instead of altered stats. - Draak has plans create a random insult generator, to amuse you yeasty knotty-pated clack-dishes. Conversely, he also plans to make a compliment social. - I will continue on implementing the hunting skill and completing the Castle Ket area for Kordan.

Alter Aeon November 2023 Update

We have recently concluded this year’s wildly popular and successful Halloween Havoc event. Alter Aeon’s next game event will be Thanksgiving, which will start on Wednesday, November 22nd and end the following Monday, November 27th. Veteran world builders Draak and Morpheus will be re-opening the corn maze and carnival for the duration, as well as reintroducing a more streamlined version of the turkey shoot. There will also be turkey-themed pk mob arenas available for players. Event quests will be accessible to players of all levels, both new and old alike, so even if you just started you will be able to participate in the event! The object composition update is fully transitioned now, and we are working on manually setting objects that didn’t automatically update to the new system with appropriate compositions. Many changes were added alongside the composition update, which include: - The ability to add inlays to jewelry after mounting a gemstone. - You can gather now flowers, giving characters without the ‘plant lore’ skill a limited but reliable source of herbs. Flower job-givers are being added to the starting islands and in several other places around the game world. - If you know the ‘beadmaking’ skill, you can now inlay with wood, and if you know the ‘saw lumber’ skill, you can saw up certain kinds of wooden objects to use as raw materials for woodcrafting. - Any unwearable item (that meets certain criteria) made from lapidary stone can be used for lapidary work, similar to how any metal TREASURE-type object can be used for forging. - Tailoring jobs now require a specific fabric. - Any sort of small, unwearable pearl can be added to jewelry as if they were gemstones, instead of just the small number that could be retrieved from foraged mollusks. - Builder-made objects can now be set to have gemstones, inlays or rivets (spangles, studs, spikes). Select objects are having this added, and it will be a slow burn process to spread them evenly across the game. You can see if an object can have crafting upgrades added using the appraise command. - Shopkeepers can be set to load or buy objects of a certain composition, or from groups of compositions. Draak has changed a few other things: - Lag from woodcrafting, metallurgy and lapidary has been reduced. - You can manually shuck foraged clams, mussels and other bivalves to retrieve mother-of-pearl and possibly find pearls. - The semi-secret “pitch black” and “blood red” metals are now full fledged members of the metallurgy table, called “void metal” and “hematium”, respectively. - Many minerals have been restricted to a narrower range of terrains. This should make finding desired minerals easier, as the random pools from which minerals are chosen in any given terrain will be smaller. This will also affect the upcoming hunting skill, as it uses the mining terrain groups to determine where animals live. - Speaking of hunting, the capacity to use bait to lure animals has been added, so next we must finish coding the “fire” command to work with hunting in order to actually be able to kill and harvest animals. Also coming soon: - The flaming debuff will make mobs more vulnerable to blinding, and will negate their ability to use wisdom to defend against being stunned. This is bad news if they bleeding as well! - The potency of sharpness is being increased, and sleeping by a campfire will increase the onset of sharpness even more. - Shopkeeper services to add spikes/studs to weapons and armor. - More area enrichment on the starting islands and mainland to improve and update content. - Castle Ket nears completion, which will be a level 13 area on the island of Kordan.

Multi-User Dungeons: 10 games still serving up text-based fun in 2023

Happy fall, everybody! We hope everyone enjoyed the One Summer Night event held last month. Our next game event will be Halloween Havoc, which we’ll talk about more in next month’s update. Here’s a summary of recent updates to Alter Aeon: - Updated the Angels’ Cry area, changing mobs and keys so all the parts now load in the area with the intent of making it flow better. - Cleaned up many job target items that have wrong composition or type and were showing up for the wrong jobs. - Tidied up loose questlines and filled in missing pieces of equipment for newbie island sets. - Added new music tracks for the mirror plane and dimensional forest. - Various spells have been rearranged into different groupings to give the cleric class 8 non-obscure spellgroups, like the other classes. - The “metallurgy check” command has been updated to tell you which skill you need to learn to forge with a given metal if you don't already know the skill. - The clay man, straw man, wood woad, metal construct and crystal skull necromancer minions can now be bloodcasted, giving them new and improved abilities. - Two new “where” command options have been adding: “tattoo” for finding tattoo artists, and “buyer” for finding shopkeepers willing to purchase items. - The help pages for guilds and armored skin were updated to make them clearer. - A level option for sorting leaderboard results was added. - There is a new option for returning players: age reset. If you have a character that hasn't logged in for over a year and is at least 200 years old, you will be able to reset their age to 50 using “set agereset -force”. Here are some future plans: - Two of the new Realms of Hades areas, the Elysian Fields and Asphodel Meadow, have been finished and will be released in October alongside the Halloween event. - Work continues on implementing the hunting skill. A prototype should be available to builders next month. - The aforementioned Halloween Havoc event will commence near the end of October. This is one of (if not) the biggest events of the year. Building continues in various areas, including: - Castle Ket, a level 13 area for the island of Kordan - Port Crimsonia, a high level area for the continent of Ramanek - The Pits of Tartarus, another high level area for the upcoming Realm of Hades. For more detailed information, please see our latest Youtube update here: https://youtu.be/EV1X9txkmuo Shadowfax did an interview for the Innervision FM radio podcast about Alter Aeon.

Draak tested out his primitive pigments before the rain: limonite, hematite and charcoal.

via Alter Aeon https://bit.ly/3YXanrj

Draak had a fire going last night, so he decided to roast the smaller limonite piece in hot coals for about an hour. This was much more effective at converting it into hematite that the propane torch.

via Alter Aeon https://bit.ly/3EhNLbK

Alter Aeon

Draak found this broken rock and recognized it as limonite, a hydrated iron oxide ore. He decided to do a little experiment: he roasted the lower half under a gas flame for about 15 minutes. This causes limonite to dehydrate, losing water to become hematite. The reddish coloration of the roasted piece indicates the experiment was at least partially successful. Draak plans on further processing the limonite and hematite into yellow ochre and red ochre, respectively, and using the pigments with charcoal and chalk to make primitive art.

Alter Aeon August 2023 Update

Happy August, everybody! Alter Aeon will be having a weekend game event later this month, beginning on Friday the 18th and ending around noon the following Monday, the 21st. The event quest is designed for both newcomers and old-timers alike, so everyone can enjoy! Here’s a summary of recent updates to the game: A new option added to the “where” command: milk. The cleric spell 'armor' is now named 'armor aegis' to further distinguish it from the ‘consecrate armor’ skill. Aetherstone can now be worked as a lapidary gem and mined as an uncommon mineral on angelic planes. Special attacks like lunge or flourish will now show elemental damage types. To toggle this on, use the command “set edamagestrings”. If you know unarmed combat, your unarmed punches will have more varied strings, ranging from hooks and crosses to palm-strikes, knife-hands and hammerfists. The movement drain from the ‘fatigue’ and ‘exhaustion’ spells can be reduced by high constitution and the ‘vigor’ spell. In addition, the ‘afflict’ curse now interacts with ‘fatigue’ and ‘exhaustion’ as it does with the other inflict spells, increasing their damage. ‘Coldfire’ now follows the same convention as ‘spectral hand’ and ‘spectral claw’, ignoring immunity and doing half normal damage to ice creatures. A lot of smaller spell/skillgroups have been merged into larger ones. The goal is for each class to have 8 non-obscure ability groups. Five classes have been finished with cleric currently the only class that needs further consolidation. Coming soon: A where option to locate tattoo artists. Bloodcasted versions of animated minions, starting with the clay man. The old Hades Castle is being reworked into a new level 45 area called The Realm of Hades, Gates and Elysian Fields, which will be accessed from the City of Fonts when completed. Additional Hades Castle are being redesigned into two more areas: the Asphodel Meadow and the Pits of Tartarus. The Asphodel Meadow will be ready for either the Halloween or Thanksgiving event, an the Pits of Tartarus will be completed some time next year. Progress continues on Castle Ket, a level 13 area. With most long descriptions completed all that really remains is designing the main quest for the area. Work continues with the hunting skill. Last month most of the top level parsing for the skill was coded and hopefully alpha testing among builders will begin in the next month or two. The end result is intended to be a mini-game similar to fishing. Additional dclient music tracks, including one for the mirror plane. For additional information, please refer to our latest Youtube update here:

Game News - Alter Aeon

This year’s Summer Solstice Celebration event was a rousing success! We saw much more player participation and successful completion of event quests over the prior two years. The event may be over, but we here at Alter Aeon are keeping busy. Many new developments continue to unfold, including: - A new area was opened: The Donnerbucht, the Bay of Thunder on the northeastern coast of the mainland of Atmir, a level 38 group 7 zone. - A new level 22 necromancer ability was added: bloodcasting. This skill allows necromancers to sacrifice a modest amount of hit points to boost the level of certain of spells. If the caster has a blood-related spell such as ‘foulblood’ or ‘rancid flesh’ active when bloodcasting, different damage types will be added to damaging spells. - Tasks are now online! Tasks are a checklist of things you can do, such as gain a profession point, milk an animal or complete a daily job. Once you complete 5 tasks, you will earn an additional daily gift! - There has been an update to ‘radiant orbs’ and ‘sunbeam’: these spells will do extra damage to targets under the effect of a ‘censure demon’ curse, although not as much as with shadow or undead creatures. Casting them while you have a ‘continual light’ spell active gives the spells a modest boost in level and thus damage. - More spell components have been added to the game world to increase the broadness and robustness of brewing system. - There were infrastructure updates: cleanup of lingering bad flags on mobs and objects, fixes to the Primordial Chaos generator, and also an update to the file saving system to improve game efficiency. Future plans: - Work continues on streamlining the help page system. - The code for actions (ongoing activities that players engage in, such as fishing, prospecting, and mining) are being examined to remove rare but persistent bugs. - Building continues on Port Crimsonia, a large level 42 zone for the northern continent of Ramanek. - Castle Ket, a level 13 area for the island of Kordan rich with history and lore, should be completed soon.

Alter Aeon June 2023 Update

It is our pleasure to announce our next game event will be the Summer Solstice Celebration, one of the biggest events of the year! This event will begin on first day of summer, Wednesday, June 21st, and will end on Tuesday, July 4th. We will be re-opening both the Puzzlewood and Starving Rock zones for the event. For those of you unfamiliar, the Puzzlewood is a high-level area intended to be completed by large groups where players are pitted against against waves of monsters that increase in strength with each successive wave. Starving Rock is an autolevelling zone where players try to kill as many monsters as possible and can be completed at any level. We’ll also be releasing another area, Castle Ket. This area will be located on Kordan, but it will be an autolevelling zone for the duration of the event. Code updates: - Random ship encounters with boarders should be working again. - Trails and roads now have a more pronounced reduction of movement costs. - A few spells have been renamed. ‘Control animal’ is now ‘dominate animal’, ‘control undead’ is now ‘enslave undead’ and ‘control demon’ is now ‘pledge demon’. - Some changes to how certain spells interact with SHADOW creatures. Druid light-based spells should do extra damage as advertised, while ‘rorshach’ cheers them up. - The druid ‘thistles’ spell now has a short duration on targets. It slightly lowers hit point regeneration, and makes the target less able to resist ‘entangling roots’. - ‘Bloom’ has been moved to level 22 druid, while ‘entangling roots’ has been moved down to level 17 druid to take its place. - Vampiric vines now receive a boost to healing when attacking bleeding targets. - Alternative casting methods for druids and necromancers are in the works, like how mages have channel casting and clerics have groupcasting. Something for necromancers should be released soon. Changes to the Cartographer's Guild: - ‘Swimming’ is now an independent skill that costs one practice. - A new Grandmaster skill has been added: trailblazer. - The rest of the cartography skills have been reordered in a way to better match up better with terrains you encounter as you advance through the Westering Islands and the guild. Crafting updates: - ‘Hue’ now works on crystal spears and crystal shields. Permanently hue-able items now have colored inventory strings. - You can now add orbs to forged scepters! - ‘Graft undead’ now gives bonuses to hitroll/damroll/armor based on a wider range of stats. Grafted undead should also keep their bonuses if they re-level now. Graft undead's base improvements have been increased as well. Area updates: - Improvements to the group of zones known as the Labyrinth have been completed. Mobs, quests, fame, and equipment have been updated. - A new area level 38 group 7 area: The Donnerbucht, Bay of Thunder, should be ready for release by mid-June. - Work continues on Port Crimsonia, a level 42 zone on the northern continent of Ramanek.

Hello, everyone! We hope everyone who was able to participate in this year’s Spring Festival event last month had fun doing so. We at Alter Aeon have been very busy! Here’s a summary of recent updates to the game: - The crushing bite attack from called druid hyenas now has a minor debuff effect on skeletons. - Channel casting has had many additional runes added, and the functionality of some runes has been changed. - You can no longer to cast ‘crystal coat’ on containers and liquid containers in order to prevent weird weight bugs. - Certain shopkeepers are being updated with new code to create quasi-random potions, scrolls and jewelry. - Clothing can now drop as random loot in objects or on shopkeepers. Expect some closets, wardrobes and dressers to start filling up. - New lapidary/mining stone: fox-eye. - New leathercrafted armor: harness. - New forged weapon: thresher. - New tailored items: blouse, tunic, puss(y)bow, partlet, leotard, tutu, and tights. - Tailoring now a delay similar, but not nearly as long, as other crafts. - You can now add tailored ribbons to tailored/leathercrafted hats in place of a feather. - Three new music tracks has been added for the dclient, as well as ambient sounds for campfires and proper gunshot combat noises. Here are some areas updates: - There is a new option for area listings: coordinates. The syntax is as follows: areas coordinates [level]. - The Palace of the Dragon Emperor, Gardens and Keep, a level 41 group 7 area in Suboria is now open. - Mount Zendular is now a solo 30 zone. It has been modernized with proper elevation, correct terrains, updated equipment, and improved mob behavior, and the area's content has been changed to be better integrated with the areas around it and general lore of the game. For April and beyond: There are plans for more clean-up around Old Thalos and adjacent areas. The hope is to strengthen the lore and its association with New Thalos on Kordan and to make it thematically more in tune with the lore of the Rubicon Principality. A similar project for equipment and general updating has been planned for the Labyrinth. We may be adding a few more channel cast runes. You can never have too many! At least four new areas for low-level players will be released for the island of Sloe. They will all be level 10. These are designed to enrich the lore of our early game content.

Alter Aeon is springing into action with new updates and plans for the game! We will be running an spring themed event the last weekend in March, beginning on Friday the 24th and ending on Monday the 26th. Details are still forthcoming, but there will be activities appropriate for players of all experience levels. The Palace of the Dragon Emperor: Gardens and Keep, a level 41 group 7 zone, will open alongside the spring event. Here’s a list of recent updates to the game: - We added team option for player arenas that randomly assigns players joining an arena to one of two teams as part of last month’s “Love is a Battlefield” event. - Small rooms now cost roughly half the movement of big rooms to help alleviate issues with running out of movement while just walking around on the newbie islands. Also, low level players that do not have the sneak skill but accidentally turn it on will now occasional warnings about using extra movement. - Sleeping by a campfire will shorten the time it takes to get sharp. - Jobs should no longer send high level players to low-level extraplanar areas. - The ‘shield’ spell is now called ‘force shield’ to avoid issues with scribing scrolls and other naming conflicts. - New channel cast runes for mages: Char, Ciru, Faru, Nar, Pil, Urst, Zeki, Enti, Dunn, Xix, and Marr. Also, channel casting now costs exactly 2 mana more. - There were tweaks to warrior and thief skills to make debuffs more meaningful. - The survey mining message for custom mineral deposits will now give some idea of how likely you are to find the mineral. - The message for plucking multiple feathers from a corpse has been condensed onto one line. - New leathercrafted items: cestus and harness. - New forged held jewelry: scepter - New forged simple weapon: thresher. - Woodcrafted canes are no longer type WEAPON, and will not be given high dierolls. They are instead intended to be useful as held wear slot objects. - Different forged helmets now have more diverse effects. - Spirit hammers can now be cast with a poison extended damage type. - ‘Soulsteal’ has a greater chance of success if the target is mortally wounded. Expect more channel casting runes to come in the near future. We’ve been making some updates around the starting island of Sloe in preparation for adding more low level content in the next month or two. Work will continue on fully implementing the hunting skill and adding it to the list of Rangers’ Guild skills. Here’s a link to our latest Youtube presentation which should provide further insight: https://youtu.be/fW6e56Yo-5U

r/alteraeon - Work had an art contest. I was inspired by a necromancer spell to make this :)

One of our creative players made an awesome piece of art inspired by an Alter Aeon necromancer spell and posted it on reddit:

We hope everyone wanted to celebrate Alter Aeon’s 28th anniversary had the chance to do so! Our next game event will be the Valentine’s Day-themed “Love is a Battlefield!”, which will begin on Friday, February 10th and end on Wednesday the 15th. This event will feature a team-based PK arena quest and will be available to players of all levels, old and new alike. Here are some updates from last month: - Using the corpse retrieval option for “summon demon” now works cross sector but not cross plane. - The “woodcraft check” command without any arguments will now show “(rare)” after rare types of wood. - The uncastable 'enchant weapon' is now 'empower weapon' and has a help page. - Bone marrow from ‘harvest bone’ and any spell component made from blood can now be used as ammunition for the ‘Gisco's giblet grenade’ spell. - A ‘thrust’ attack can unbalance opponents on a successful hit, not just misses. - You can now add crafted masks to southern-style forged helmets such as a hanburi or kabuto with the “forge enhance mengu” command. This requires knowing the 'forge kozane and nihonto' skill. - Instead of seeing messages while gathering wood, there is a “carve check” command to see what items you are carrying that can be carved into totems, weapons, fetishes or spellstaves. - The “set” command with no arguments will show a LOT more settings, such as shortid, autocompare, autocraftid, combat message mode, no gift lootcrate and more! These are also displayed with the “show settings” command. The help menu for “set” has also been broken down into categories and alphabetized to make it more readable. - The “shadow show” command to display your shadow exposure was added, mirroring the “show shadow” command. - Randomly generated jewelry has a small chance to have a gemstone already mounted to it. - Shopkeeper lapidary services have been expanded. A shopkeeper that can carve lapidary materials into gemstones can now mount gemstones to jewelry and other appropriate items. This has a nominal gold cost based on the level of the base item. - You can put quests on hold with the “quest hold” command. A quest that is on hold will not show up in your quest list. You can still advance and complete quests on your held list. You can see quests that you on hold with the “quest hold show” command. - Two new compositions have been added to the game: SOIL and COBALT. Cobalt is primarily for making alloys, and soil is for items made from dirt or clay but not finished pottery or ceramics. There is also a new alloy: platina, forged from platinum and cobalt. - GLASS composition will now show as GLASS/CERAMIC, since glassware and pottery have many similar characteristics. - The ‘sickening touch’ spell no longer does lingering damage to players, but they take higher initial damage. - The 'credit buy favor' option has been improved so it gives more favor per credit. - Explorer point requirements for ranks in the Cartographers Guild have been slightly lowered to make it easier to advance. - Total inventory weight can now be shown with the “inventory -weight -total” command, and the inventory weight switch now sorts from heaviest to lightest. To see which switches are currently available, type “inventory -help”. - There has been a minor update to the drow mines and Old Thalos tunnels areas, including modernizing some equipment, adding more mobs and loot and adding a brand new quest. Here are our plans for next month: - Tweaking warrior power attacks to be even stronger against debuffed opponents. - Survey mining messages to give indications of how likely finding custom mineral deposits are. - A new "dragonscaler" job that works the same as skinning jobs, just with dragon scales. - Reworking job parameters so that lower level players can be sent to extraplanar zones appropriate for their level, and preventing high level players from being assigned jobs for low level extraplanar areas. - Team PK arena options in preparation for the “Love is a Battlefield” event.

Alter Aeon

Happy New Year, everybody! We’re getting new people all of the time, so let us tell you a little bit about our game: Alter Aeon is a multiplayer player-vs.-environment hack-and-slash text adventure game with an original medieval fantasy setting. Characters are multiclass and have a choice of six classes: warrior, thief, cleric, mage, necromancer and druid, each with its own set of abilities. The game has a huge world of more than 300 areas to explore, thousands of story-driven quests to complete, and a comprehensive gathering and crafting system ranging from cooking to advanced metalsmithing. Alter Aeon can be played via a variety of methods. For sighted players, we recommend using our custom client: the dclient, which has a map and window system for monitoring your character and channels. For those with visual impairments, we have our own custom MUSHClient soundpack called MUSH-Z. If neither of these suit your fancy, you can also use another client that accepts a telnet input using alteraeon.com port 3000. We are proud to announce that Alter Aeon is celebrating our 28th anniversary of going live! We will be having a small weekend event to commemorate this occasion which will begin on Friday, January 27th and end the morning of Monday, January 30th. All are welcome. Here is a summary of recent additions to the game: - There have been many additions to character features, especially hairstyles. - Diseases can now alter your complexion and the appearance of your eyes for the duration of the illness. - Some active spell strings, such as that for ‘stone skin’, have been changed to not conflict with player skin color choices. - Tattoo artists are now scattered across major settlements of the world, and there is a new related Thirsty Thursday challenge: get a tattoo! - Certain areas may heavily favor a particular type of wood, and a handful of areas now have exclusive wood types, such as candlewood from the Candlewood Valley. - The "spell/skill list level" command will now show what skills are granted by guild membership. - Random metal drops and metal lootcrates may now contain a limited selection of alloys. - Players may find random drops of forged jewelry and tableware from various crafts in containers now. Here are some upcoming changes: - The GLASS object composition will become GLASS/CERAMIC, as glass and fired clay have many similar properties. - New object compositions: SOIL and COBALT. SOIL will be for clay, sand, dust and dirt as distinct from ROCK. COBALT will be a new workable metal but very uncommon metal. - You will be able to put in-progress quests on hold. A held quest will not show up when you check your quest list, nor will it advance or complete. The “quest hold” command will allow you to list your held quests, as well as add and remove quests from the held list. - Shopkeeper lapidary services will be expanded to allow mobs to mount gems onto jewelry for you. - Primordial Chaos, a high-level procedurally generated zone with random encounters, will officially open. - Work continues on various high level areas, including (but not limited to) The Palace of the Dragon Emperor, Garden and Keep and Port Crimsonia for eastern Ramanek.
