Heroes' Respite

May 2000 - Announcements Page
== Game Changes ==
* Magic Defense's skill formula has been changed from Focus + Willpower/10 to /7 to make it easier to increase your skill to higher levels. Monsters are not affected by this change.
* The Gharu'ndim warrior Jaleh al-Thani has founded a new respite for weary adventures on the west cost of the Direlands.
* The strangely prescient sage, Ulgrim the Unpleasant, makes his home in the taven of this new town.
* Sturdy Iron Chests have been introduced to reduce camping of the treasure chests in the game.
* A new pierce damage sword has made an appearance in treasure - the Rapier.
== User Interface Updates ==
* Added multiple tabs to spell-cast panel—players can now sort their spells in nice, tabbed panels. You can switch tabs in the Magic panel by pressing the <insert> and <page up> keys to cycle through the five tabs. These are the same keys used to increase / decrease attack power / accuracy in the Combat panel.
* The old message from beta no longer appears in the chat window as it was misleading (didn't mean you'd been saved but that the servers had verified your location in the world):
