Dear players, during the last few weeks we have made several changes and have observed the result of these changes. Just like all updates, some like them, some do not. We have evaluated not only the feedback from the players, but also the impact of these changes on the gameplay. As a result, we will be removing some of the changes we have made, and will change other features.
Here we go:
- Testing of sieges is finished. We have reverted all changes to their previous state.
- When applying for a siege, the war is declared automatically like before, but now there will be a 60 minute break between applying for siege and the beginning of the batle;
- Cost of cups is reduced to 1pt. We will soon revert their name to “Mask” and their old images;
- Fixed a bug which caused inability to hit through the shield in log protection chains, fixed the chance to hit through shield
This year crown of Mr Darkswords, as well as 2.000.000 gold and 10% mana and health buff goes to Stemichri!
And the title of Ms DarkSwords is given to Lithium Lullaby - together with 10% mana and health buff and 2.000.000 gold.
Congratulations to winners and thanks for all who participated and made this event possible - players, admins and moderators.
And more very special thanks to our beloved trader/moderator Lithium Lullaby, who created pictures for contest awards.
In the Platinum Alchemy Shop you can now purchase Religion Cups. By drinking from this cup (can be done only on 'star'), the player will immediately change the religion of the character, regardless of a week penalty. The religion will not change back. The penalty to religion change will be reset (back to 7 days). The cup can be used even by players without religion.
* After location siege is set, clan wars are not accepted automatically.
* During the siege all participating players' authority isn't lost upon losing to enemy combatant. This refers to attackers as well as defenders.
* During the siege clan experience and authority points for defeating enemy are doubled.
Kingdom sieges:
* During the siege all attackers alliance clans may attack any member of defenders alliance clans in any world region, except for cities without active sieges, Flag Points, Bars and Stars.
* During the siege all participating players' authority isn't lost upon losing to enemy combatant. This refers to attackers as well as defenders.
* During the siege clan experience and authority points for defeating enemy are doubled.
Update took effect upon server restart on July 7th 2013
You will then need to create a new pet name according to new naming rules.
If you create a name which contains swearwords or other inappropriate content, the Administration has a right to rename your pet! You will not have a choice on the new name assigned for your pet in this case!
* Paid pet renaming implemented in game client;
* Shops, inns and bars now use scroll mode instead of page switching (press right mouse button and scroll);
* Up to 10 spell macros are available to players;
* Changes in spell window;
* Fixed players list scroll bug in chat window;
* Fixed ring equipment bug (hand names were mirrored).
All the fixes will take effect upon server restart on July 4th 2013
* Impregnability still doubles life, but doesn't restrain attacking the monsters;
* Impregnability can be switched on and off in combat.
New naming rules will apply:
* Only Latin alphabet is allowed;
* Single space per pet name. Name cannot begin or end with space sign;
* 25 characters per name max.
Pets are now joined in families. At the moment only one family including 9 pets is available - every pet from the family can be bought at the Platinum Alchemy shop for 150 pt.
You can change type of the pet within the family - i.e. Manul can be changed to Polar Fox, but you cannot change the Firefly pet.
Personal pet avatars remain intact after the change.
Courageous soldiers of the newborn country fought hard for their rights, their freedom, their families.
We at DarkSwords would like to congratulate these brave men and for creating one of the most memorable moments in history!
To celebrate this day Dark Swords doubled rates of Religion, Damage and Regular experience!
Happy Independence day!!
