General Update, First Half

Written by: Miagor
Date: Friday, September 19th, 2008
Addressed to: Everyone


Firstly once more, Lyeir and I collaborated on additional tradeskill
designs. Cooks can now bake tarts, and tailors can make kirtles. As part
of our adding new engineering layouts, metalworkers got the most love
this update. They get diagrams for canes and pots, but also layouts for
the various tradeskill tools made with engineering (sewing machines,
jigsaw, etc.) as well as clocks, musicboxes, iceboxes, earhorns, and
tuningforks.

- Metalworking diagrams and layouts will no longer stack in your
inventory, just like all other tradeskill patterns.
- Changed TEACH to allow more than one lesson at a time to be taught.
The new syntax is: TEACH <# of lessons> <skillname> TO <pupil>. The
student will see how many lessons are being offered.
- Magickal Portraits made with Artistry can no longer transport you to
someone on another plane.
- Fixed a problem that was causing chartered guilds to have a guild
return room in a random location.
- Removed a command from an old event that was easily abused via force.
- Leprosy and Vivisect in Necromancy will both properly trigger Kaido
Deliverance now.
- Fixed a serious bug related to city finances.
- Naturebinding in Groves will no longer slow down those with Divine
Grace.
- Engineers can no longer repair a gate while Graced.
- Closed gates can no longer be burrowed under.
- Fixed a bug with certain ranged skills passing through doors and gates
(primarily soulspear)
- Imbibe and cannon fire will now affect stone totems. Stone totems will
not be destroyed, but instead returned to their owner's inventory.
- Battering rams were reviewed and confirmed as not working when damaged
unless repaired into enough health to operate again. To make determining
whehter a siege weapon is damaged beyond use easier, a heavily damaged
weapon will now be displayed as such when PROBEd.
- Gowns are no longer transparent and will properly hide underthings.
Sorry, guys.
- A kohdon's tail sweep is now stopped by prismatic barrier and other
similar abilities.
- Cannons and bolt throwers fired by players will no longer hit the
Graced.
- Fixed an error with secretaries seeing a guild privilege only the
guildmaster can use.
- Eatting food pellets in a group will properly eat just one.
- Movement while erecting a shrine will now make you stop.
- The deathball (used in the deathball arena event) can no longer be
thrown and thereby circumvent its nasty side effect.
- Contesting for a city position will now deduct the proper amount of
gold.
- Musicboxes can now be wound up while Graced.
- Stone Totems will no longer start giving decay messages after being
uprooted.

And last, but furthest from least. Kneeling at Seki's statue will now
provide the restorative benefit once every real life day, as was
intended.

My next update will include the second half of this general update as
well as the new items for the remaining tradeskills. Moons' Blessings,
Aetherius.

2021 and Beyond

Hello Imperian! Another year passes! A few months from now will mark my second year on Aetherius. Time sure flies! However, the vast majority of this wouldn’t happen without our wonderful team of volunteers. Kiandre and Valethar have been with me since last year, and are instrumental with the work they have done for the…

Hi folks! This year has been a challenge on many of us, and I can only hope the next year goes by more smoothly. Having said that, we have reached the end of 2020, woo! This was my first not-quite-a-year on Imperian, and it has been a whole learning experience. It has been a bit…
