Dec19 Patch message

Post by Pahreyia »

December 19, 2003
------------------------------

** Shadowhaven Casino goes on vacation **

We're sorry to have to say this, but the new casino has become too popular. The huge number of players gambling at the casino is causing issues with the servers, and has been responsible for a few zone crashes. Unfortunately, this means that we have had to remove the casino NPCs until after the New Year arrives.


* Other Changes *

- Cancel magic will no longer remove disciplines or melee abilities.

- Fixed a bug that was causing the party to be unable to see hit point updates for the last person to join their group.

- Healing Will and Focused Will now stack with most other hit point regeneration effects.

- Corrected a bug that was causing AAs to increase the duration of combat abilities.

- We have reorganized the context menu for Disciplines to make it a bit more logical.

Read: You could turn in batwings to the casino dealers and get the same effect as if turning in coins. Since all our developers are on vacation, we'll fix it when they get back.

Well, given the servers were running like complete dogshit until they killed the casino, there's probably some truth to it as well. Gratz them on load testing what was obviously going to be a popular feature though!

They got rid of the casinos but the servers are still running like dogshit. Only SOE-Everquest could get away with this kind of garbage just before a major holiday...
