Ok, a short list of changes beginning with complete and planned:
(Complete)
Auto-remort is level 200
Sky changes from night to day and back
OrbOfLuminance is a little brighter and longerlasting (also more expensive)
Iron Set (boots, gauntlets and stuff)
Paws -> Cheetaur's Charm
BoGs -> Fairy's Wing
WWs -> Winged Amulet
Dragon Gem (really really high jump and fighter group only)
the above were renamed because they are no longer footwear, so your silvertone boots and Iron greaves will not interfere with your character abilities
2 orbs can be used at once (breath and luminance or 2x either one)
Aether Vial and Elixer (1000 HP heal and 500 MP regen)
Uber Jizz (don't ask)
new admin class "king" with +2.0 for all stats
new stat "cleave" (this is the #bash and #backstab for those of you who have slashing)
stats reflect classes (i.e. Theives can steal and clerics can't... clerics heal and paladins are only non magic user with healing)
archaic casting (replaces divine... suicide and some other tings are downright dirty and not divine at all
)
3 groups to select classes from (trickery, honor, intelligence)
4 (at least) new classes to pick from
new names for god status (Avatar of Wisdom for scholars and such) also does not say *blank* or -1 for above RL 100 players (Avatart of Brutality VII or whatever)
4 new zones added, spawns for one of the zones
RP has been *changed* and some new stuff will replace it
(Planned)
-Zones-
Hell's Gate (up close and personal alternative to Minotaur) - finished (maybe add some lighting or clouds)
Phen's Castle (comes complete with Phen's unsavory woman) - finished
Jaten Cavern (may be renamed to cave) - needs spawns and enemies, also some really really good crystals in a place that makes mining almost impossible (i.e. have to fly and stay flying to mine from)
Jaten Tavern (planned and layed out, im just lazy and haven't put it in yet) - will be used to sell some of our new potions and some other more novel stuff (aka prostitute bots that heal you if we get around to it, and shady merchants with some really expensive/powerful items)
Abandoned Campsite (protected zone) - erie camp above the well (finished except for details, like bodies and stuff to complete the mood)
Abandoned Well - the well will become a very difficult zone with minotaur level bots (orb of breath + luminance a necessity, still need spawns)
Forsaken Forest - will surround the Campsite and Well, we plan on adding ents like TvT and also Golems (bots with lrock shape)
- New Spells -
archaic casting - at least 6 new spells in addition to the ones part has for divine casting (probably will throw in blind from TvT)
some planned spells: advbeam, advfullheal, fullshield, massfullshield
healing spells we are going to reward with EXP (carefully balanced, this could be difficult) so that parties stay intact and clerics are rewarded, but Tokath does not auto-remort every other day
I also would like to see the spells as actual projectiles like TvT, not just an instant explosion at LOS
- Other -
plan on new orbs such as orb of speed (increase in attack speed of weaps) and orb of protection (adds to your natural heal rate and functions as strong MDEF and DEF)
we have new swords and items in general, every day people come up with new ideas that are really good and i would like to see
I would like to put in trees to chop down (although hatchet has become epee) in order to have a small building system
RP (like it or not) is something you get from admins now, as a reward that will be traded in at the dust house (b/c dust has been removed) for special things - RP will be rewards for doing good things like showing noobs around and stuff
Houses will be a one time join. NO CHANGING, this will not be so bad, at the end of every month, the house with the most RP will get bonus items of the servers choosing (so dont flame the admins)
If you save up enough RP, and have enough coins (planed for the distant future b/c it will be some of the most coding intensive) then players will be able to trade in their RP and money and supplies (from mining and lumber) to build a custom house, these houses will be more stable than TvT i.e. anything short of a full clear will not delete them, in these houses, the owner will have a butler bot with custom greetings and a merchant that sells their extra items (cheaper than town merchant, but still more profit for homeowner... everyone wins)
I'm sure there is more that LonkTheSane/Ark and I have already made, and I just can't remember and I know for sure that more is planned every day... Right now its just a matter of how much time I have. Speaking of which I have come AP Calc BC and AP Physics C to attend to, so I will leave you to digest what you have read.
And remember folks: Playing with yourself makes your eyes hairy and your palms blind... err, yeah.
