In this release:
a) added Wind/Storm magic skill (if you signup as Boreas). This skill affects the health and a bit of stamina, but it is not a fight skill (so it will affect preys as well).

b) Fixed a bug. When you rp ban someone with the Interact Menu, you will not get damage from him anymore (it was working with the gesture only, not it works with the Interact Menu as well).
Upgrades are always free.

In this release, if you have a current RP ban with someone, you will not get damage from their hits and therefore you will not be captured.
That will be useful in group fights when accidental hits can happen. It applies to fights only (for now).
Please be adult when you deal with RP bans. RP bans are to be used as last resource when you want to stop a player to have any OOC/IC interaction with you. RP Bans shouldn’t be done lightly.
Upgrades are always free and available at the sim entrance.

Changes apply when you are captured. Now you have these options:
a) RANSOM: offer a ransom to your captor. If he accepts it, your money will be transfered from your bank account and you will be free right away.
b) ESCAPE: You can escape after 20 minutes of captivity and when your captor is > 100meter of distance
c) OOC Uncapture (in the Drama Box at KOS or SIM Entrance in Venexia): if you feel that your capture was unfair and you don’t consent to play your captivity, then do a OOC uncapture. Please do no abuse it.

Some players mentioned to be unable to uncapture prey/prisoners.
I was not able to reproduce the error when I tested myself, so I am still a bit unsure about this.
Anyway, give this version a try. I rearranged the code a bit.
To test, the captive should wear this.
If you still have a problem with the uncapture, please IM me back.

Some players were asking to have more stamina when running, so the use of stamina is now cut in half when using the version 3.40
Upgrade not mandatory.
Always free.

Bugfix in this release:
– when you get captured, the players you own within 20 meters will be transfered to the winner (not all the players in the SIM). Whooopsie 🙂
Upgrades are always free and available at the entrance.

There was an issue with the leash when a prisoner’s ownership was transfered from player A to player B. And that is fixed in this version.

Because there will be some inconsistencies with older versions about messages received from the HUD screen, I made the v 3.33 the minimum required release. So if you have an older version, you will be asked to upgrade.
Sorry about all those many releases. I will try to slow down a bit 😉

In v 3.35/3.36 there are some other bugfixes related to turning weapon on/off or damage on/off, as well as fixing a query message to display on the HUD screen.

A few changes:
a) if player A wins over player B, then player C wins over player A, player B will become player C’s prisoner if he is within 20 meters radius.
b) failed attempts of pickpocketing won’t be told to the ‘victim’ anymore. Only 1 attempt for victim each time.
c) Inventory Menu has been simplified.
Upgrade not mandatory for now. You can get a copy at the vendor sign at the entrance of the SIM.

Fixed:
a) Pickpocket will go through only if the victim has at least 1G$ in their pockets
b) If you recover your own money from pickpocket, you will automatically get your money back.
c) if you are at zero stamina or zero health you won’t be able to use combat or psychic items.
Free upgrades are at the game entrance.
This release is not mandatory.

I updated the trial script. Now the jurors will be randomly selected from any player in the region KOS. Explorers and animals will be excluded. The players will be asked if they wish to be part of the jury. If they deny it, there is no penalty, a new player will be asked as replacement. For now the clan leaders are first choice (because IC they have more ‘authority’), but it is possible that the order will vary later.
Temporarily the prosecutor ability to select jurors is removed.

In this version:
a) tweaked the speed enhancer detection, so it should be a bit more accurate
b) fixed an issue during combat (when the stamina is zero, the damage should goes OFF for 10 seconds)
c) fixed an issue with the messages coming to the screen HUD
Not urgent and not mandatory, but please upgrade when you have the chance.
Upgrades are always free and available at the game entrance.

If you haven’t read the updated agreement, the RP stores have a limit of 6-month now. After 6 months the store/place will become available to any applicants, including the current one.
The 6-month limit is done so:
a) it allows us to do a small or major renovation to the place, without upsetting the current owner 😉
b) it allows every player to have the opportunity to rent a RP store and experience that.

There were a few more bugs about healing and the use of items and now they are fixed.
This release is not mandatory yet, but highly recommended.

– Added the ‘air’ magic skill (in-built speed/jump enhancer).
– Several important bugfixes here
Please upgrade when you get the chance.
Upgrades are free and available at the entrance of the SIM.

Two bugfixes:
– the healthrate in your HUD screen was occasionally incorrect when you clicked on the HUD button to see your stats. That has been fixed
– when you are OOC/Unconscious you cannot be infected by a disease anymore.
Upgrade is optional.

The ‘Uncapture’ option of the ‘Victim’ Menu wasn’t working anymore. This has been fixed now.

In this version:
– replaced current encryption system with a dynamic encryption (that will be needed if/when the SGS is used in other sims, to prevent any exploits).
– fixed a bug related to training mode (so the weapons won’t sheath anymore after losing)
– fixed a bug with combat skills
Upgrade is not mandatory yet. All upgrades are free and available at the entrance.

In this release:
a) there are some changes for the fire inventory items (fireballs). If you intend to signup for Vulcanis, please upgrade.
b) you must keep the money bag for 12 minutes, instead of 10 (that is because it seems that 10 minutes might be slightly short).
c) there are a bunch of other minor bugfixes.
Upgrades are free and available at the entrance of the SIM.
This upgrade is optional.

Small changes:
a) the HUD is now full bright, so you can see it in midnight settings
b) the messages in the HUD screen have now a timestamp
c) if you lose a fight in training mode, your weapon will sheath as well.
(all these changes were requested by players)
Upgrades are free and available in the game room at the entrance. This release is optional.

If you signup as Courtesan at the House of Pleasure, you will now show up on the Rental Board, as Courtesan for Rent.
Ireemians may rent you for 100G$ (50G$ will be transfered to the courtesan bank account).
Once rented, the courtesan’s meter will switch to ‘Owned by….’ and she or he will receive a message with the rental information.
If you are a courtesan, please do not ransom, and make yourself available for one hour or so.
Remember: all roleplay is consensual, so the nature of the service/roleplay must be (OOC) consensual for both parties.
Transactions in L$ are now allowed.
Do not use the rental to cause griefing to other players.
