What's New from the Realm Team
****** 09/29/98 @ 01:40pm *****
Elphame's Scales crippled. They are now just a mundane item. A timing bug was found in the dungeon entrance system and removed. Characters that are lagged will be returned to the surface if the copy of the dungeon they entered has gone away by the time they reach it. Hopefully, this will eliminate multiple entries. To see your place in line, use the Look at function.
9/29/98 GUILD MEETING!! As everyone is aware, there are many changes taking place in the guild. Members are asked to PLEASE make sure you read all of your email, the message board, and the news page to keep up-to-date on everything that is happening. There are many rumors going around, none of which should be believed. A guild meeting is called for Saturday, October 3rd, at 8:30pm EST. It is very important that everyone try to make it, as this is the night when everyone's questions and concerns will be addressed. Please make note of the date and time, and we'll see you there!

Realm Stuff Vacation never lasts long enough. *lol* Here is What's New from the Realm for the past week.
****** 09/28/98 @ 01:00pm *****
Fix for Trial account logins. Should correct any login problems for those account types. Also, correction for dungeon queue placement in line message when you try to enter the queue multiple times.
****** 09/26/98 @ 04:20pm *****
A problem was noted with the login that mislinked some accounts. This has been corrected. Also, if you are missing either your house or characters.. you may have had multiple sets of Elphames Scales. Those characters and houses are being removed from play.
****** 09/25/98 @ 04:40pm *****
Fix for the son of Fix II. Return to the Fix of the queue. This should stop the multi-entry glitch, and hopefully retain the fixes for the lockups. Dragons not added to dungeons. Enjoy the game this weekend.
****** 09/25/98 @ 03:09pm *****
Minor fixes for the queue system. Changing rooms or combat should no longer hang up the queue. Players in any of these 'limbo' states are deleted from the queue automatically. Also, if you know anyone who had problems with the patch due to yesterday's telco line problems and they can't seem to get the game to run, they must reinstall the game. An incomplete patch will corrupt the client software.
****** 09/24/98 @ 12:44pm *****
Fix for the bug introduced yesterday which would run the system out of resources. This should stop the system shutdowns from occurring.
****** 09/23/98 @ 04:04pm *****
Improvements to the dungeon queuing system. A fix for the teleport script bug that occurred in some instances. Also changed the text telling you your place in line to a less intrusive 'Info' message.
****** 09/23/98 @ 11:32am *****
New dungeon queuing system installed. Please note, this is the first pass for a nearly complete re-engineering, though I have taken every reasonable precaution, there may be initial unforseen problems, so your patience is appreciated. Also corrected is the case of incorrect or no sound in dungeons. There are some minor changes to the mail/listing dialogs and the 32-bit sound code library is updated.

9/18/98 On Vacation Just a note, the editor is on vacation until further notice. Ascetos ain't Hawaii, but it has sand, and believe it or not, coconut oil keeps the undead away! Take care, everyone!

9/14/98 Congratulations! A big cheer and a pounding on the back for IAmDaLaw, who was inducted into the Royal Guard last night as a Paladin in the White Dragons. He was also raised to nobility and given the rank of Baron (in training) over the Knights' Legion.
WTG Law, we know you will do an outstanding job!!

9/09/98 The Royal Wedding Leave it to them to do it different. The Prince and Princess decided to break with tradition, and on a spur of the moment decision were married Monday evening, 7 September, in the Temple of Despothes.
The couple wishes to thank everyone who participated, especially the Queen...Ezibella was at times a bit more nervous than the bride. *wink*

(from left to right: Ezibella (out front), SirIckie, Jelarus, Weird0, LordAchilles, ToyThunder, RittersFaulke, LadySkye, Excalibur, Novacane, Sladric (in back), DeathsHead2, Finrod, Daneyras, Mertriteum, Jazzmin, and IAmDaLaw)

9/07/98 Level Up Congrats to CharlyB on her level 200 achievement!
9/04/98 Tourney Grove Contest Just a few notes to add about the tournament, no gods' items will be allowed and healing in combat is debatable. As before mentioned, if you have any questions about the contest or want to submit your name to compete, please contact Sladric through email or magic mail. Once again, the contest is scheduled for the 25th, 26th, and 27th of this month. Please see the related article below for more details.

9/02/98 Hail to the King! Congratulations to LordAchilles, who earned his amber baldric for level 300.
...is it amber? Or is it orange? Hmmm...
