...when she told you to wear your galoshes!
Time of Darkness is pleased to announce the following changes in code:
**Months of the year have been changed and now reflect our Immortals. Along with adding a sense of realism, this will be an important factor for werewolves (THEREWOLVES) down the road.
**The weather can hurt you! Meathe has created a wonderful weather system that can do damage to players standing in weather-impacted rooms (which should be all of outdoors but that will take some time). Weather damage is HP based so while it may be painful, no one is going to die from a bolt of lightning alone.
The new weather system will also work with the Control Weather spell, which until now has been pretty useless. We'll be fine tuning this for players, right now it's a very low change in weather but those of you who have gained Control Weather and later wondered why, we give you weather.
**Equipment Corrosion - I love this one! Once again Meathe has done an amazing job and now your equipment can corrode and unless repaired, corrode away to nothing. WOO! WOO WOO!
Not all equipment will corrode, we're not heartless.
Corrosion can come from either time, certain damage types and weather so be careful and keep an eye on your eq.
All corroding items will have enough time before they rot for you to get to a repair mob and fix the damage. Repair will not be expensive, this is not an attempt on our part to watch you lose eq. There will be a repair mob in Kjeldoran and clans may purchase one for their halls.
You will know if your item is corroding, you will see messages letting you know.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooood juju!
