January

Some modifications to thirst and hunger (and drunkness):
- Few ticks before you actually reach a state of hunger/thirst/sober you are given an informative message(s) like Dastard suggested.
- If the area you are is cold (room is flagged as cold or temperature below zero in Celsius) the amount of food you consume doubles.
- Similarly, if the room is flagged as 'fire' or temperature is above 19 in Celsius, then the amount of 'water' you consume gets doubled.
If I calculated corrected this corresponds to about 24mins from full to empty state if in normal room. If a doubled effect this means about 12 minutes. Also in rooms flagged as sanctuary you GAIN instead of lose both 'thirst' and 'hunger'.
'Book' code is in. The idea will be that people HOLD books they are reading. Once book is held, OPEN, CLOSE, READ, NEXT and PREVIOUS commands all refer automatically to that book. So you simply type 'NEXT' when you want to read the next page etc.
It is of course possible to read and open pages on books in inventory (or in the room) aswell, but must be referenced explicitly then, e.g. 'open 3.book 5' opens page 5 on the 5th book in your inventory.
Also the help 'b_ref book' is updated for builders, contains 2 flags now.

June - August

AAW Temporarily down due to maintenance and service break.
Up running again by 4. August. -04

September

Clans back in game:
- Any legend can set up a clan
- Inactive clans will be deleted so have enough players, before spending money on starting up one.
New Imm commands:
- CONN AREA - Command shows neighbouring areas from the area you are standing, and then the next level of areas and so on.

October

New command CLANDISBAND, allows leader to disband his/her clan
- Clan creations and disbands are added to HOT list for 30mins
- You cannot leave your clan if you are leader, you have to either disband the clan or give the leadership to someone else first.
NOCARD flag on mobs, you can mark mob out of card missions, while still otherwise keep him there (e.g. mobs which have death_progs and corpse disappears, thanks to Ibranathar;)
Durations of some defensive spells have been increased by 50%
Mission code fixed, mainly mystery missions were badly bugged (at least). Also imms can now start kind of mission they want, see HELP IMM-MISSION for syntax.

November

Score will move in this month to a new location and the IP address will get changed. We will update 'score.dyndns.org' accordingly still, so that should work in future still. Small break we, however, cannot avoid (less than day).
