Addressed to: Everyone
As is Aetolian tradition, it's our Xmas day changelog, which includes many ideas taken from you, the players! Plus a couple of our own...
It is Wednesday, the 25th of December, and the following changes have been implemented:
- PROBE will now show you if your mount has a steel bit, is invincible, or will reset after death (now only shows to the owner though).
- PATH commands now support excluding specific areas from your route by adding "excluding" followed by a list of areas separated by semicolons (;) or vertical bars (|). This is useful when you want to avoid traveling through certain regions.
Example: PATH FIND SPINESREACH EXCLUDING WESTERN ITHMIA; DRY PLAINS
This will find a path to Spinesreach while completely avoiding Western Ithmia and the Dry Plains areas. You can exclude as many areas as you like, just separate them with semicolons or vertical bars.
- Items with a PROMO TRADEIN value that decay will now decay into credits assuming the following two conditions (1) It's in your inventory, (2) It has your mark.
- If an item can be traded in via PROMO TRADEIN, it'll now show on PROBE, but only if the item bears your mark.
- POSE (both items and yourself) now has a very generic message shown to the room (i.e. 'You notice Razmael's posture change.') so other people know to look at the change.
- You can use SILENTPOSE in place of POSE to suppress the posture change message.
- Celani+ now have access to a STEELCHAIR emote.

- Researcher Geb Ynes will now provide a small sum of experience for handing in samples for those who are already at maximum faction rank with the S.G.S.
