Publish Announcement

The following changes will be published during the Tuesday May 7th maintenance, at 10:00am US central time:

Two new NPC’s have been added to Giran named Druid, and Heine named Druid. These NPC’s will provide a cancellation of spells on the player, for a fee. This cancellation will cancel all spells on the player, both harmful and beneficial.

Experience penalties for death have been reduced. Players of all levels, including very high levels, will notice a significant reduction in experience loss after a death. -- [follow up from Melantus: The loss at level 50 is going to be roughly 1 percent. The maximum loss allowed will be 5 percent, regardless of level. The reason a higher level could be a lower precentage then a lower level is because there is also an exact number amount limit, so it is either 5 percent or that number, whichever comes first.]

Hired Orc Mercanaries’ alignment has been set to 0 (zero).

The experience loss for high level people is going to be low. The loss at 50 is extremely small. It takes a long time to replace that experience at those levels. :)

I really dont mind the exp loss when I died as it was. It is good, it makes dying painfull as it is supposed to be. Now... a system like this, where the loss is smaller the higher it is, does have it logic.

Nice to see NCI give players a breath :) lets see some good drops!!

Best wishes Mel, thanks for support,

the only way i EVER die is to disconnection or dragons (the sole exception was one time when i tele into 2 ifrits -_-) Im so glad they are adding this. I could be level 49 if it hadnt of been for all those lag deaths, and i know someone who would be 49.6x instead of 48.9x if it hadnt of been from all thier disconnects. This is something everyone is gonna love.

Well Mel, Grats on the great update, not penalizing players that are higher level is a very good move on your part. Well done NCI on this one.

To get Orc Mercenaries, you need to be a Member of the Pledge that owns the Orc Fortress.

Great, after dying a buhjillion(or so) times and losing a ginormous(or something rather) amount of exp they cut the experience loss in half. It really sucks to die 23 times at level 48! At least now it will be easier for laggers like me to level up.

23 times at lvl 48?? dang that sucks... I died 5 times now, 4 times from lag when I was at 48.00~48.10. so deleveled 4 times and 1 time at 48.33 when I had a latency problem and my teleport home didnt work cuz the system already thought i was death =(

it sucks, but for some reason i didnt get so mad as when I died at 48.00

well this update is soon here, on to the 50 ^^

I like this update ^_^

BUT.. the reason why they changed the orc mercinaries allignment is because you could attack them without going pink/chaotic..

Just like my bloody dog.. MEL Fix the dog allignment bug.. it's just down right annoying now.. what do I have to do to get you guys at NC to change and even damn well acknowlage the bug.. oh yeah and this update is cool... ?

Excellent! Since they are unable to fix lag death at least Lineage makes it LESS painful now.

Kudos NC!
