The Iron Coast

November 2002 - Announcements Page
== Game Changes ==
* The Tusker island of Aphus Lassel has been discovered.
* Skills can now be untrained and specialised post-creation at the respective Empyrean temples. See the Attribute and Skill Redistribution quest page for details.
* Loot no longer appears on the floor when a corpse decays. Monster corpses now remain for five minutes—a much longer period than they currently do—but when they decay, any unclaimed loot that remains on the corpse will also decay.
== User Interface Updates ==
* A "Do you accept?" dialog box has been added for those receiving fellowship requests.
== New Quests ==
