We have uncovered another issue in DoND. It has been closed again while we develop a fix and test it. Each of the staff have now created a special item for the token stone at the Donation Hall. Save your pennies. =)

DoND has reopened for business. You will now have to type all the commands, case# (for example, case12), hearoffer, deal, nodeal, trade, notrade, etc. The bottom of the game window lists the commands and what you can type next. If you take the deal before the end, you still have to say all the case numbers to run the game out to the end.

There are some etiquette rules for champ spawns that staff would like to see players adhere too. When the champ is complete, it is customary to grab all the gold and PS, then meet at a designated location and equally divide the loot among the champ participants. One person should collect all the gold, then divide it by the number of participants, make bank checks in that amount and give to each participant. PS and other loot are usually placed on the ground so each player can see whats available, then each states what he/she would like. If there is a dispute, a dice roll determines the winner.

We believe we have the crash bug narrowed down to the DoND game. For now, it has been taken off-line till we can find the bug.

For unknown reasons, the shard software is occasionally turning itself off with no crash log. This is making it difficult to troubleshoot, but it is being investigated. In an effort to help, and because save times are so short, I have increased the shard saves from every 30 minutes to every 15 minutes. If it does turn itself off, you should now only loose the last 15 minutes max.

Added a rule (see website). People trying to get around the chat filters by spacing out bad words are subject to jailing if caught. This includes staff reviewing the logs later and seeing it. You have been warned. The Gold/Token Exchange System on Lady Luck was removed last week. When Lady Luck was first installed with the Gold/Token System there was virtually no player base and therefore no player economy. The shard has grown quite nicely and we, the staff, felt it was time to remove this option. This was done in order for the players to start building their own economy and trading amongst themselves. It was not done to be cruel. We did this so that you, the players, could develop an economy suitable for you.

Automatic jailing for foul language has been implemented.

Fishing should be fixed now so that you can gain all the way to 120 (assuming you ate a PS). The script for [owltrbod had some bugs and they have been squashed. As requested and suggested, new items have been added to the token stone at the donation hall.

We love our players, however, with the increasing number of players we are not able to answer your questions in public chat. From here on out, please page with any questions you have for staff. Thank You.

As of today, the crafters may turn in their BODs and will receive a token reward in addition to the normal BOD rewards. The token rewards are in proportion to the gold reward just as is the case when monsters are killed. The BODs must be dropped on the head of the respective BOD taker to get the tokens. Voting is very important for the shard. It raises our expousre and that in turn brings in more players. Many of the listing sites reset their stats on the first of the month, so voting is even more important now. Please vote for WP every day if you can.
Also, be aware the Sleeping Dragon champ spawn in Tokuno has been removed. However it is still possible to do this champ at other champ locations as most champion spawns on Whispering Pines are random.

Happy Labor Day. Check your bank boxes. Special Labor Day event planned for 7PM shard time tonight. Be on the lookout for the Gravedigger Quest. There is also a Necromatic Summoning Book now available on the token stone.
