• SD has a new Non-PK clan, The Blue Rose, led by Gigi!

• Spell proficiency now acts as a damage modifier rather than as a factor in determining whether your spell will succeed. Spells should succeed much more often, even at low skill levels, now.
• AFK is a little nicer now — tells you when you go AFK, makes sure your prompt is shown if you have any tells waiting, and looks a bit nicer, too.
• Fixed a few typos (allready -> already, ‘in affect’ -> ‘in effect’.

PS: Thanks for all of the bug notes. Keep them coming — they’re not forgotten, just haven’t had time to fix most of them.

A new area, Mirronage, has been added!

Fixed a bug that caused objects and affects to multiple whenever a player reconnected from a lost link or entered a wrong password when logging in. This also caused multiple results in results for abilities like ‘locate object’.

• The info command now shows total time played, e.g.:
  

  “178 days, 47 minutes and 45 seconds”

(That one is actually genuine, *shiver*)

• The time command has been remade
• The finger command now shows how long ago the player was last seen (i.e. 7 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes and 5 seconds ago)
• Danish players can now use the æ, ø and å characters in chat

• Numeric color codes have been removed — character color codes can still be used. See help color for more information
• whois and finger have been remade
• practice has been remade and should no longer wrap on some clients

• The Purity of Order clan now recalls to the Order clan hall
• The Word of Recall spell has been removed
• Players no longer need to choose a home town on character creation
• All unclanned players now recall to Market Square; clanned players recall to their respective clan halls.

• All ancients can now use the pack command to send a low-level character a survival backpack containing the starting gear set.

• The commands command has been re-made and will now show commands by category, and in alphabetical order

If you think a command is mistakenly included in a certain category, send me a note stating the command and what category you think it should be in.

The command table was rearranged to facilitate this change. If a short-hand command (e.g. p for practice) now mysteriously matches another command, it’s not just you. Please send me a note stating what command and what short-hand you were using.

This change will take effect after the next maintenance reboot (see help reboot).
