The following items have either been fixed or enhanced.- New CAPTCHA system is online.
A CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human.
We have implemented a CAPTCHA to stop the unattended gathering of resources.
1. The system will prompt miners and loggers to solve a simple puzzle.
2. Any failures and the resource gatherer will be prevented from further resource gathering until the CAPTCHA has been completed successfully.
(You will need to try to gather resources in another 5 minutes to get another CAPTCHA.)
3. Too many failures and the robot will be set to criminal and placed on the town crier (and account marked)
Note: There will be no more unattended ore or log gathering on this shard! - Pirating system and Boats
We've redesigned the way boats work in order to make them a little less secure so as to encourage pirating.
1. You must have the boat key on your person to command the boat
2. your ghost may command the boat as long as your corpse on the boat has the key on it.
3. Bone decay times have been increased for bones on a boat when they hold a key
4. you can now dry dock a boat that has ghosts onboard (they get kicked to shore.)
5. you may not dry dock a boat with clutter on deck (including bones)
6. You can no longer recall off a boat key, but single clicking it will display where it is located.
See Also: Grappling Hooks below - Grappling Hooks – new item
The Pirate Smuggler NPC now sells grappling hooks.
A grappling hook is a rope with a big hook on it used to board a boat.
Usage:
1. You must be on a boat to use a grappling hook.
2. You may only successfully grapple a boat that is not moving.
3. Any living players on the boat you grapple will "toss the hook back into the ocean" whereby resulting in a failed grapple.
4. If you successfully grapple a boat, you will receive a one-time teleport onto the deck of the target boat.
See also: Pirating system and Boats above - Field Spells
Fix field spells so that they cannot be cast upon water. - Battle Chickens
Our breeding system is coming online in chunks.
The first installment is the ability to breed chickens.
Note: This feature is currently Disabled. - Succubus, Semidar and LOS checks
Succubus and Semidar now perform Line Of Sight checks before hitting you with their Area Effect (Hate) Spell .

The following items have either been fixed or enhanced.- Deceit mini champ
Fix an exception due to trying to spawn a "bongMagi" (lol) - Chicken Breeding
We have merged in chicken breeding 1.0, but it is currently turned off until it is verified. - NPC Vendors
Fix an exception in the NPC vendor code and add additional robustness checks and logging. - NOT OSI Custom houses
Lay the groundwork for AI Style Custom houses.
This project is still in development and described in another thread. - Facet deco logic
Remove Facet deco logic from unused facets. - Old school weapon/armor labels
We've gone back to the old school labeling for weapons and armor. - old school cuttable body parts
Yep, this too. - Townships
Player guilds can now purchase a Township deed which must be placed in the same structure as the guild stone. The Township stone will provide the menus necessary to run the Township.
Please see the following link for more info. - Communication Crystals
Fix a bug that was causing Communication Crystals to disconnect from one another under some circumstances. - ID Wands
Fix a bug introduced into ID Wands that was preventing them from ID'ing enchantment scrolls. - Offline decay of murder counts
Murder counts no longer decay offline (this was added for Shadow Clan / Broken Tusk 'baby orcs' that couldn't escape from prison.)
With the many kin areas and the no-counts-for-kin killings, the offline decay is no longer needed.
Players will need to rely on the accelerated prison decay time or prison escape. - guild war ring
This is simply an option to guilds (through the guild stone) that adds them to a 'war ring'. Everyone in the ring flags enemy (orange) to each other (assuming that some other flagging isn't present). - Immovable items
Logging of certain Immovable items. - RTT
Better RTT logging.
