174a - now in testing on Pendragon
1. New Frontiers/RvR Notes
- A sudden crack in the seafloors of the North Sea and Irish Sea has caused these seas to become land. Lush green is starting to grow quickly on these fertile grounds and reminds the armies of old emain, the wide rivers, lakes and hills are breath taking. All realms have reportely send out their armies to lay claim on these new neutral lands.
- It is rumoured that the new neutral zone has conquerable bind points out in the open.
- All boats can now only be player driven.
- Added boat vs boat engage. /vengage starts a boat vs boat instance where the two crews can fight each other on deck and inside the boat.
- An enemy boat captain can accept the boat engage by typing /vengage accept or try to flee by typing /vengage flee. /vengage flee is not guaranteed, success is based on a number of factors.
- Players can now jump off boats like they can in TOA.
- Captains can now sail all rivers and lakes in the Frontier.
- Player driven boats are boardable in enemy realms and in the neutral zone if there isnt a friendly structure within 5000 units and the boarding crew is within 250 units. This combat is resolved in an instance.
- In order to grant players the ability to have an honorable fight against an enemy or enemy group we've added the command /rduel. When accepted by the other gl this will start an instance where that battle can be resolved.
- The Greek have invited players and spectators from all realms to join fights in their Arena. Players can port to the Greece arena from their borderkeeps.
- Players can choose to watch the fights, participate in them solo or grouped and place bets on the outcome.
- Arena fights will grant you 1/4 rps of a normal kill if you win plus 25% of all bets.
- The Greek only allow players a maximum of 3 fights per day (real time).
- Leirvik has been redesigned and now has two keeps with three towers each. The water has been reduced to rivers and lakes.
- Mobs will now flee when a player is engaged by another player. A player damaged by a mobs is still worth reduced rps.
- A player who has been damaged by mobs can't be attacked for 5 seconds after the monster has fled. The player needs to have lost 20% of their hps at least. This will print a message [the player your are attacking is in a bloodlusty rage and can't be attacked for 5 more seconds].
- Mobs can no longer be engaged when in PvP combat.
- Climb points have been added to all towers.
- All tower captain rooms have been given a door on the oil floor.
- Oil mounts have been added to tower roofs.
- All tanks have been granted the Climb wall ability.
- We've added NPC's to all frontier borderkeeps that sell buffs and specs they can be found next to the Hastener.
2. Quests - Albion/Hibernia/Midgard
- All quest texts have been reviewed and clarified where needed.
3. Trials of Atlantis World Notes
- Every named Mob is now worth Master Level experience, some more then others.
- Scroll dropping NPCs now drop their scrolls at a doubled rate. If we find this still isn't enough, we will increase the rate in the future.
- All artifacts now have a 100% drop rate when the encounter is completed succesfully.
- Removed credit restrictions on Master Level steps. All steps including .10 steps can now be completed in any order.
- Removed ML1 requirement for Master Level 5, the ML5 zone is now accesible for all.
- Removed ML3 requirement for Master Level 7, the ML7 zone is now accesible for all.
- Removed ML8 requirement for Master Level 9, the ML9 zone is now accesible for all.
4. Shrouded Isles/Classic World Notes
- We've tweaked the RoG system to allow for ToA/Cata bonuses to appear on items dropped in these regions. Bonuses will scale with the level of the item.
- Artifact scrolls now have a chance of dropping of some creatures throughout these regions.
- All named bosses will be worth Master Level Experience.
- Along with respec stones, each dragon has the chance to drop full books of random artifact scrolls.
- The original dragon super-items have now had their stats/effects/bonuses brought in-line with competitive gear in the market. These new dragon drops will be given a face-lift in their skin/texture maps.
5. Darkness Falls Notes
- All Darkness Falls equipement available from their respective merchants have been increased slightly in terms of quality 98%/stats/effects/bonuses.
- Princes, High Lords, and Legion drops have been increased in quality(100%)/stats/effect/bonuses (ToA/Cata).
- Princess, High Lords, and Legion now have a chance to drop rare artifact scrolls and are worth Master Level Experience.
- If, at any time, each realm has an equal number of keeps, Darkness Falls will be open to each realm as a contested zone. This means if (for example) Midgard owned >=1 keep more than Albion or Hibernia, Midgard would have sole access to DF. However, as soon as Midgard lost it's advantage and each realm had a balance of keeps, Darkness falls would be open to every realm.
- Darkness Falls access is now based on number of owened keeps in the battlegrounds and those in the frontier.
- Guilds can now claim both one battlegrounds structure and one frontier structure.
- Guild command has been expanded in order to provide GMs with the ability to assign BG claim rights separate from NF claim rights.
- The guildcommand now allows to set the use of GBPs in the following way:
A. as available to all claims or
B. reserve GBPspool <number> to add certain number of GBPs to pool for BG claims or
C. set GBPS BG Pool to BG earned GBPS only.
- Modified cost structure of BG Keep and Tower claims to bring it inline with bounty points earnable in BGs. This is done by them having a longer refresh timer. I.e. Thidranki costs will now be charged once every 12 hours where Leirvik will be charged every 2 hours.
6. Passage of Conflict Notes
- Shades have been lowered in level. In mist form Shades now gain 5 levels on top of their base level and are no longer unkillable.
- Fixed the Summoners Hall drops, a bug prevented the mobs from accessing their unique drop table and therefore didn't drop anything.
7. Item Notes
- The RoGs tables have been tweaked to allow for ToA/Cata bonuses. These items randomly drop with a possible quality between 70%-98%.
8. New Things and Bug Fixes
- All Servers are now clustered together.
- Gaheris (Coop) and Mordred (PvP) remain standalone.
- At level 40 players can now buy their personal mounts from stablemasters. Thanks to the strong magic of our finest mages mounts can be stored in your backpack like boats do. All boat commands work for personal mounts as well. Personal mounts cannot be used in the frontier zones or dungeons.
- /gc invite is no longer region bound but can be done worldwide.
- All Artifacts now level in Darkness Falls as well as Passage of Conflict, the Frontiers and their specified zones.
- Epic armor sets have now been updated to include ToA bonusses and higher utility. Making them a viable option for the casual RvR player.
- New bug appeal system. This new system shows a popup form, where you can select type, location (current or specific), description of the encountered issue and automaticly makes a snapshot of your entire toon and it's quests.
- All characters are now automaticly copied over to Pendragon on a weekly bases. If you don't want this to happen you can switch this off by typing /charcopy off. This allows all players to login on Pendragon with all of their toons when they want.
- Shields are now equipable in the 2-handed slot. This allows dualwield classes to switch between dualwield and shield like they allready could with offhand weapons.

there are too many bs in this note, which will never be available, not to mention there is nothing about catacombe fixes etc. fake.
