As many of you will be aware we are working on something new. We had originally intended to re work Golgothica yet again, but to be honest we were not very happy after traffic dropped off and once again the sim was pretty much empty most of the time. This is not a good base from which to attempt to re structure a sim. And definitely it does not inspire confidence to invest a great deal of time, effort and money into something that has not work well twice before. We will therefore be opening a completely new sim. It will be an entirely new build and RP setup. We believe that the best way to describe it for now, until we release the opening notes in a week or so time, is “And now for something completely different”

News from Baal and Kora
Monday, February 20th, 2012Golgothica Update
Friday, January 13th, 2012On Sunday evening SLT, we will have to close Golgothica for major renovation.
If you are currently renting an apartment or a store in Golgothica, we will refund you for the remaining rental cost.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and of course we will inform you when we are ready to reopen the SIM.
New combat move we forgot to mention ;D
Wednesday, November 16th, 2011Oh BTW Kora forgot to mention that there is now a block move you can use in combat.
Some people make a great fuss when they make tiny changes to their game meters, but hey, we make so many we forget J
Anyway
To use this move hold down the left Mouse button and press the C key.
This will reduce by 50% any hit that your opponent scores on you while you hold the block.
But you will at the same time loose 2 points of Stamina per hit.
Magic HUDs – NOT ALLOWED
Wednesday, October 12th, 2011Just as reminder, Magic HUDs are not allowed.
They are SUPER LAGGY ( I tested a few of them). The amount of particles they spawn is so big that they can freeze everybody’s viwer, and they are often just plain griefing tool.
As you might have read, we will have magic crafts in the upcoming releases.
Golgothica: Proposed Changes
Sunday, October 9th, 2011Proposed changes to Golgothica
Coming soon.
Most of these changes are inspired by referendums, feedback we have already received
After much initial disappointment and many requests, we will be reinstating the original Golgothica back story and groups into the sim in order to inject it with some solid basis fro RP which many have missed. This story will of course need some tweaking to fit the new locations etc.
Also:
- adding the magic crafts as skills for supernaturals and wytches
- adding city laws and crimes to the game
- adding trials and prosecutors
- adding outlaws as human group (fighting against the oppressors – but weaker than supernatural)
- adding the bounty hunters (who fight and catch criminals who break city laws) and take them to trial
- adding clans
We would of course be interested to hear any feed back on these proposed changes.
Not renewing your rental?
Monday, October 3rd, 2011Please remember to pick up your prims. Once the rental has expired, we will send the prims back at you (likely because hte next tenant has already moved in). We have heard that occasionally things get lost in SL inventories (even in the Lost & Found folders), so don’t forget to clean up.
Also you can use the menu and click on ‘Terminate’ to close the rental and stop receiving reminders.
Bounty Upgrades
Saturday, September 10th, 2011There are some upgrades related to the Bounty Board:
- bounties who were not redeemed for 2 months will be deleted.
- only one bounty on the same person at a time is allowed.
- money will be taken from your bank account, so make sure that you have enough money in your bank account before submitting a new bounty.

Golgothica Referendum – Result
Thursday, September 8th, 2011Based on the vote count, 18 players were against adding crime system to Golgothica, and 35 players were in favor.
Therefore, we will set things up, and make the changes to the scripts so we will run a crime system that is a good fit for Golgothica. More info to come.
Treasure Hunt and Rats
Thursday, September 1st, 2011There have been a few changes in the code for Treasure Hunt and Rats in KOS and Golgothica. Please read the latest info:
