icesus

Also i do not know if player-used names of places could be added?!!? That would be quite obvoiusly against all sharing-information regulations. I got no problems with adding basic common-knowledge area names on the map if a suitable techinical solution is found. The map is auto-updated so adding na...

Yikes, that's way too high. I checked the code and there was a bug in the formula. Fixed it, the spell cost is now a lot lower.

grainer wrote:I'm missing the point here. If the spells spcost was lowered, but the spdrain is still the same (It seems that way to me, but it might be effective-after-reboot) then this change doesn't make any sense.

I lowered the SP drain the spell does, not the spell cost shown in the help spell invisibility

The Mages of Valkor rejoice. The spell point cost of invisibility is now lower.

Update: The fix bugged, resulting actually an increase in the SP cost. I fixed the fix.

Good points and an interesting conversation. The spell point cost of invisibility was just reduced

As long as it isn't like that if you aren't in a clan you're a total outcast

What would be the point of these clans? Benefits? Penalties?

About 8800 old player files were purged, freeing names for newcomers. The players removed were either away for several years or had very little (<1000) total exp.

Icesus has moved to the new server, goblin.icesus.org powered by a 3.2Ghz P4 with 2GB onboard memory. The server is connected to the internet via dedicated 100Mbit/s connection kindly provided by the University of Jyväskylä. The new IP address for the game is 130.234.6.252. The old server will be ...

Good news everybody! The new server has been installed at the University of Jyväskylä and will be taken into use during the following weekend. The game will be down a couple of hours, and the address "icesus.org" will stop working for a day or two. Once the game is moved you can use the ...

The new server, goblin.icesus.org is being tested and installed. As soon as the tests are finished and the system is set up, I'll take the server back to The University of Jyväskylä. This will result a couple of hours downtime for Icesus, and probably a day or two until the icesus.org address work...

We have a winner

The new server name is goblin.icesus.org as suggested by Etadan.

Odovacar's suggestion Aegic was the second best alternative.

Both Odovacar and Etadan have been awarded 2PDF.

Just a clarification about the name, it must be a single word and relatively easy -- as it is being typed a lot by the administrators

And it must fit with .icesus.org -- like templar.icesus.org does.

But, keep it coming

As you might already know Icesus Association purchaced a new server to replace the failed one. However, the new server needs a new name. Previously we didn't name the servers, but starting from the backup server we have done so. The backup server was named as templar , a good knight in a shiny armor...

A change was implemented that prevents selling or sacrificing worn items. You must use 'remove' command to unwield/remove them before selling or sacrificing.

This change is in effect as soon as the game reboots.

A talent or cantrip... "calm mount" for those occasions where your mount has gone nuts. Let it take a few rounds to cast, so you'll have to spend some quality time in the room with your mount. Neat Idea 8) I can think of a great deal of demand for this, even better if others familiar with...
