This was causing problems because if you did &#8216;tell -h 2&#8217; with 5 tells outstanding, the other three might never be seen.<\/li>\n<li>Have extended the amount of time that notes survive on most boards. Personal is now 28 days (was 14). Ideas\/feedback went from 30 to 60. Some of the less &#8216;serious&#8217; boards went from 10 days to 30 days.<\/li>\n<li>You can no longer get a defender flag if you are in the clan that is being raided.<\/li>\n<li>You cannot take or use items owned by others when they are online, but you can if they are not in the game (to give friends a chance to rescue equipment etc). There was a bug in that if you made yourself unable to see the person online, the code acted as if they were offline allowing you to take\/use the item. Now fixed.\n<li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<b>Classchange command:<\/b><br \/>\nThere is a new option to classchange. Adding &#8216;noskills&#8217; anywhere in the command will do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Skills that you have in both classes will NOT be reset.<\/li>\n<li>You receive no practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This basically results in loss of practices put into skills in your current class that you will not have in your new class, but does remove the need to repractice everything in the new class. After chatting with a few people it seems this option \/ idea is more popular than I thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since our last reboot due to some &#8220;offline&#8221; issues consuming available time.
