Alter Aeon February 2025 Update

Happy Valentine’s Day! Alter Aeon has just celebrated its 30th anniversary! Having had continuous development since 1995 by a team of dedicated coders and builders, Alter Aeon has evolved into the beautiful fantasy text game that it is today. For last month’s anniversary event,we introduced a new feature called the Wild Hunt, where players can have random encounters with supernatural creatures in the wilderness at night (but only during the Wild Hunt event). Other things added last month: - Crafted cloaks should now be type ARMOR. - A new tailored item: leg warmers. - The 'event show' command will display information about certain recurring events that you've participated in, such as the Wild Hunt. - Some slight re-balancing for certain natural attacks: ‘bite’ now does pointed and blunt damage, ‘beak’ now does edged and blunt damage, and ‘claw’ now does edged and pointed damage. - The removal of the superfluous sending of “ok” strings from get/put commands. - Fixing a bug which was sending position change notifies for disabled leaderboards. - The keyword “rwood” will now be added to rare wood, provided that the gatherer has adequate knowledge of the ‘woodcraft’ skill. - Adding brag/show support for “woodcount” and “mineralcount”. - Ability to brag to the elder tell channel. - Adjustment of the spam filters for strings sent by the bottling skill and ‘death and decay’ spell. Upcoming updates in February: - For our next system event, Valentine's Day, gatherable roses will be coming online, and they will have a counter attached to them similar to that used for the Wild Hunt. - A new level 45 group 15 area called The Razor Moraines will be released in February, which will be located on the plane of Crepuscula and accessible via the City of Fonts. - A new level 40 area called Usha’s Dream will also be released soon. This will be on the Dream Plane and be portal-linked to Caer Bre’en. - Level 40 area equipment is generally being reworked to be more balanced. New mobs are also being added to these areas in order to give variety and make fame stand out more. - The level 40 thief skill ‘umbral thrall’ should be implemented later this month, with the thrall having full combat capabilities. Once this is done, non-combat routines will be added piecemeal over the next several weeks. Current plans are for the umbral thrall to assist with distract, lockpicking, pickpocketing and stealing, shadow bind, shadow decoy and disarming traps.
