Blood Opal of Rauko’ra, Sanguine Tavern, Other changes. Lasher, January 24, 2013 New Area Conversion – Blood Opal of Rauko’ra: A small team of adventurers has followed a trail of clues seeking a treasure of antiquity – the Blood Opal of Banderios. It is said that the opal was stolen many eons ago by the vampire king, Rauko’ra the Thirsty and is hidden somewhere in his ancient fortress, the Citadel of Lost Souls. Of the three, the oldest and wisest has traveled the longest continents, following clues to this; the end of his journey. Too old to fight the evil within, he has sent his companions Darien and Ungold to find the gem and bring it out. But they are only two against an army of fiends! How will they succeed?

Other Changes in this Reboot Not ready to pull the trigger on making shopkeepers have endless gold as it only takes one buggy item to break the game that way. However, they will now restore their full repop amount every tick … it was previously 20% of their repop amount per tick. Fixed a bug in shoot always showing the arrow direction as North when more than one room away. With no ‘auction sethigh’ value assigned, auction would only show items up to 15 levels above the level of items you could save under the old rules. Now that everyone has ‘keepall’ this behavior makes no sense and is inconsistent with the command output. The default is now no upper limit on which auctions you see unless you set on auction ‘auction sethigh’. Instinct with no arguments shows the number of trains “available for instinct” at the end. This message now shows how much of that is actual trains on hand and how much is already deposited. Showskill will now show an extra line when you have a skill or spell as a racial ability. Adding the optional parameter ‘silent’ to the spellup command will suppress the ‘Queueing spell…’ messages. When you rescue someone and switch to fight whoever was attacking them, for the purposes of PK and revenge the game will act as if you attacked them. This is in reference to bugs note #12681. I’m still wondering if attacking someone in a group should mean that everyone in the group in the same room gets revenge on you anyway which would make this moot, but at least it is consistent for now. Fixed single class tiers not being able to vote in a ‘remort only’ vote. Also extended the max length of vote options from 40 to 60 characters. MUD News
