* No crashes or deadlocks to report since the last update.
* Many changes under the hood to both the client and the server. Please bear with us if anything goes wrong.
* All other changes this update are secret. Enjoy.
Just one note so far: when I first logged on, I could not move. I could /think, though. After a moment or two, I was able to move again. Others have reported that they simply disconnected and reconnected and were able to move again.

Posted by: Fishwinkle on July 30, 2003 04:42 PMHere is what I have noticed so far about the cloud changes.
* Two new types of maha. Cloud (white) and Sky (orange striped)
* The two maha use a new ai. They hunt and stay in packs (like those mystic twins have in town).
* They "seem" to go after the weaker members in a party but this could just be a side effect in the way they lock on to their target and surround.
* The average skins from the two new maha types is less then that of the old gold maha.
* From what I can tell the new maha are pretty close to the normal kind in regards to stats. It is mainly the ai that makes them tricky.
This is a nice change. It was a little boring only hunting normal maha. The cloud is now a much more interesting place to hunt with a nice variety of cats to hunt. You will see less coins in your pocket at the end of a hunt but the odds are you will have quite a few more tales to tell.
Artesia
Dueling glove has new icon.

Posted by: Odes on July 30, 2003 09:48 PMThe dark pit in the Cold & Snowy cave is now working. It just leads to the ground like the edges of the cloud (Maeght tried it and fell in east forest)

Also, new trainers:
Erthron says, "I can teach you a balanced combat style focused on defense."

Posted by: Phroon on July 31, 2003 06:52 AMJust a note that the dark pit on the cloud 'worked' last version.
