Volume II, Issue III*The fresh dirt on the MUD* February 27, 1999
| Introduction | We got reviewed by the Mudconnector. You can read the review at http://www.mudconnect.com/reviews/muds/Malevolence.html. Thank you for the fair and unbiased review Mudconnector.
On Friday, February 25th, the development server crashed. We will try to get it online early again next week. Sorry for the inconvience all you coder types. The player site remains stable. |
| Mudlib Changes | The Hotel Alcedama has opened its resort for business. This nicely written area, Ritzs' first, is located in the mountains above the dwarvish outpost, north of Harborside. There is now an exit from the Underdark. It is no longer a one way trip for those without teleportation or warp type spells. The Holy Word spell used by Clerics and Paladins has been upgraded to do more damage. This spell does not say 'Well, that sucked' anymore. The mage spell MKS has been updated to show damage when it hits you now. Previously it would do damage but not trigger your Hit Point Monitor.
A bulletin board has been placed in Harborside City Hall, located on Capitol Boulevard. This board is for creators to list the quests available in their areas. Each posting has a general idea of how hard the quest is, what level players it is good for, and where the quest begins. Several quests have already been listed, with more to come. Players, please do not post to this board. |
| True Stories of the Bug Patrol | The attack messages for the Two Handed Greatsword have been fixed. These swords will no longer give garbled messages.
9 pages of typos submitted by players have been fixed, ranging from room descriptions, to spells, to weather. 108 in all *phew*. |
| Behind the Scenes | Binky the Master Thief has applied to become a creator. We have accepted him as one. |
