As the fabric between worlds grows thinner, forgotten terrors extend their reach
into our realm. Join the citizens of our world as we quest to rid the world of a
growing evil. This event will begin this Monday night, October 30th, last through
Halloween night, and end Wednesday morning October 32nd.
-The Immortal Staff
Could this be worked into the storyline as the place where the seraphs were first found? If so, we could tie it into the part of the storyline where Calymbor seeks out the Seraphs for help in battling the Vampires. Just a thought I had as I read your post.

-Spellhold-
*Assigned area to Aradia and removed Qalinosk. I haven't seen anything done with the area, so gave it to Aradia as her first solo area. Changed name of the area to Malvarin for her project.
-Asylum-
*Continued working on mobs.
-Maze-Level3-
*Changed sex on mobile Bardas to male to fit the description.
Hey there everyone. I lost all of my files in a nasty computer glitch. So I would like everyone to refill out an application for a new record file. This is the most updated application, and most of the information on it is for record. You only really need to fill out the upper portion, the rest is entirely up to you. When you have completed it, attach it to an email and email it to me at <email email="hrithma@charter.net">hrithma@charter.net</email>
Thanks,
-Hrithma
-The Asylum-
*Added new area for use in tokenized mini-quest example, and, if all goes well, a continuing mini-quest that high level players can be involved in.
*Created mapping for area, and started working on a few mobs and room objects.
-Khatovar-
*Continuing room objects and will be working more on mobs soon.
-Event Stock-
*Created copies of items from past events, that will soon be transfered over to Syn for a shell script to change in all pfiles. Still searching for a couple items.
<quote author="Areo">@Areo:
Probably best to have it not add to hours while in rift as well, right now only vampires benefit from that (age is counted into sun damage, if I remember right)</quote>
I agree with this. I'm not certain, but do meditation and fast healing still work there? For some reason I'm thinking I remember getting a better in one of those on my mort… but I could be wrong. I'm still in agreement that we should disable all betters all together in rift, and make it a "chat" only zone. I also agree with Areo that time/age should not continue while in rift.
Furthermore, I am in full support of a new rule disallowing any player to have more than one character in-game. Especially after the needed changes are made to rift.
-Khatovar-
*Continued working on obj's in area.
-Ruins of Khathnor-
*Assigned Aradia to area to help in building.
-Bottle-
*Assigned Eithne to area for spelling/grammar fixes.
<quote author="Pollution">@Pollution:
I don't like the idea of creating a separate area for each race to start in. I would prefer one common newbie area with multiple race exclusive puzzles/challenges/etc.</quote>
All I meant by seperate per race, were the the initial first couple of rooms. LIke i think currently we have 12 rooms before you get dumped into the dungeon area. I meant simply the first rooms, learn the game commands, get initial eq, learn your race specific strengths/weakness/skills in a small 10-12 room area that helps instill a bit of theme toward what race you choose. Then once they have gone through that, they would be dumped into a common area. That was what I was thinking.
Alright, we can do that. It's not something I'd be working on soon, but upcoming after all the stuff I am on now :p
<quote>> As the One created his army for the upcoming battle with the Mother, he considered creating a general for his army. Weaving this being in the image of himself, he dubbed the being, Jorgyth, a demon lord of pure shadow and evil. Masterful if combat like no other, Jorgyth soon proved to be a worthy creation to the One.
As he ordered the soldiers of the One into many victorious battles, it seemed as if the armies of the Mother would soon perish. It was not until the Mother created Vaelarys, a powerful angel, who took command over the forces of the Light Plane. Soon battle after battle ended in defeat for Jorgyth and the One. Enraged, Jorgyth ordered one final assault, meeting the Vaelarys head on at the gates of Eden. A long battle ensued, in which the two fought one and one as well. With much of each army covering the ground in death, Jorgyth and Vaelarys continued their struggle against one another. Finally, outsmarted by the tactics of Vaelarys, Jorgyth fell to defeat allowing Vaelarys to smite him back to the Shadow Plane.
The One’s army left leaderless was quickly driven back into the Shadow Plane, and once again balance was restored to the planes. But deep in the Shadow Plane, Jorgyth still stirred. Being created in the image of the One, he was an immortal. Only his mortal shell could be slain, yet his own entity lived on, returning to the Shadow Plane to regain strength and reemerge again. So laid in wait, forming a plan to destroy Vaelarys and regain his former glory.
When he had the strength, Jorgyth reemerged from the Shadow Plane, in the shell of an angel. Upon entering Eden, he played himself as a loyal servant to powers of Light. At his first chance, he stood before Vaelarys and revealed his true identity. Growling a curse of shadows, he stole Vaelarys’ soul and returned to the One. But by this time, the One, and the Maker, had disappeared and had been nearly forgotten.
As centuries pass, Jorgyth begins to watch the mortal realm grow and unfold, and becomes intrigued by a lone human, Mishkal. He devises a plan to merge himself with this Mishkal in an attempt to gain control over the mortal realm. Mishkal grows extremely powerful with Jorgyth’s guidance but soon discovers that the demon lord’s plan was only to use him toward his own purpose. Jorgyth is cast from Mishkal and trapped in the Abyss. Little did Mishkal know that Jorgyth yet retained Mishkal’s knowledge of blood-based magics. Using this new knowledge, Jorgyth creates his son, Hrath. Born of flesh, but given the power to wield the energies of Shadow.
From the Abyss, Jorgyth and Hrath watch the events of Mishkal unfold, and vow to exact revenge upon Mishkal, and all mortals.</quote>
Hi there all, I am posting this with an attached .txt form. If there is an idea you want to build or create, please fill out the attached form and email it to me. This form is mainly a way to keep track of who's doing what and so I can set the area up for you.
Also, on all new areas, I would like everyone to do a write-up of the area/event/revamp explaining what all is involved, anything you might request (coding-wise), and a storyline. Areo and I are strill fine-tuning the general game history and storyline and will be posting the finished one when we get it complete. As far as your areas, in the story you can include; events that are specific to that area, key mobs both current and historical, events in the area that tie to general game storyline.. etc.
Thanks you guys!

I was thinking of an area (idea generated while talking to Areo) perhaps an old ship wreck, just off the coast of one of the continents. Could be geared toward second/third class players. Have a storyline with possibly a mystery to solve, some mobs, and items. I will come up with a better write-up for an area like this, but I wanted to post it here and see what you guys thought.

Test Port
-Immzone-
*Currently building a mini-quest involving extensive use of tokens in a series of token related examples being worked on by Areo, Nibelung, and myself.
-Khatovar-
*Copied area files to test port. Will be continuing work on the test port so as to write in all tokens and related scripts, rather than re-adding them later when they are implemented on the main port.
-Ruins of Khathnor-
*Same as Khatovar.
-Rhazlok's Tower-
*Same as Khatovar.

**This is all I could come up with for now.
I don't see why not. Lets get something organized and loose it when we got a night of good playerbase.
