  • The logic surrounding the type of death a player receives (mob, pk, or environmental) has been updated to give more consideration to the source of overall damage inflicted on the victim, rather than relying solely on the last hit. Please consult help death for more information.

    This is a work in progress as we seek to balance maintaining the appropriate risk level while avoiding overly punitive scenarios. We encourage players to share feedback on any unexpected or unusual behaviour.

  • We congratulate Brylon on his promotion to Maia (Wright).
  • You can no longer abbreviate water in drink water from rooms that let you drink without having an object to drink from. (Dáin)
  • The orcs at the main entrance of Orgolk will now block players from going down (in) rather than leaving (north). The doors at both entrances are also noblock now. (Rogon)
  • Spells cast on other characters will no longer print a redundant Ok. (as of next reboot)
  • Black breath will now remove breath of briskness on its victims.
  • You will now see if characters are swimming or boating:

    Samwise is swimming here.
    Frodo is here in a canoe.

  • You can no longer sit or rest while swimming.
