<P>- All races will be removed except for Iksar.  The development team has recognized that they are the one true race, and therefore will make this change in deference to their greatness and beauty.</P> <P> </P><p>Message Edited by ZeyGnome on <span class=date_text>09-11-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:09 AM</span>

After numerous complaints from the gaming community it is recognized that tall races have an unfair advantage over shorter races when harvesting and hunting as they can see over hills and obstacles sooner than shorter races. Therefore for the sake of balance:1) the height of ratonga and froglok will be increased slightly2) the height of gnomes and hafling will be increased significantly3) the height of barbarians, ogres and trolls will be decreased slightllyIt is realized that this will take away from character uniqueness to some extent. To deal with this, all races will be color-coded.<div></div>

WHAT!! Why remove Gnomes.  They were going to be the only class that could chose Plaid for the color coding.

-After debating some time about what the new conjurer hat will look like we have decided on a final look.  We are sorry to anounce that the relic armor will also be changing its apearance to match the new look of the conjurer armor.<img src="http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9035/conjurerhx6.gif"><div></div>

Due to a misallocation of funds, the overlord's minions were unable to afford the sharks required to support the shark mount program.  They have been replaced with ill-tempered bass.Due to an oversight on the queen's budget, gnome mounts have been stripped of thier dignity to reduce upkeep costs.<div></div>

[Titigabe]

Thank you, all, for all your great ideas! <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span>I now really know why they'll never listen to players to decide what should be or not added to the game <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> LOL<div></div>

- In response to player complaints that Wizards and Warlocks generate too much hate, the damage generated by their spells has been substantially reduced.  This in turn lowers the hate generated.- In order to promote the use of player-made arrows, the cost of arrows from NPC merchants has been doubled.- In response to requests for a quicker method to travel to the Overrealm than the transportation spires, dragon mounts are available in Lavastorm and Everfrost.  Players should be warned that training the dragons to accept riders is progressing slowly, so the there is some risk in using these new mounts.  Those that survive to reach the Overrealm will be deposited on a random island in a random zone.  Usually from a great height.- New provisioner recipes have been added to all appropriate tiers that use imbuing rares.  The recipes were unearthed from a Gnoming community that mysteriously vanished overnight.  Enjoy!<div></div>
