New improvements
 
30-01-02 (15:58 GMT)

Always thinking of its players, the Darklands staff have been fixing and improving somethings inside the gameplay.
As most of you may notice we have a increase of newbie players but most of them leave. After reseaching we found that they found claim to nothing to do, so we started working on making the militia a automated system (not yet implemented) and many other things.

So whats new?

As some may notice there was a massive explosion in mountain gate that created a massive earthquake wave that shooked the very foundations of this Darklands.
Felt by all across the land it had indeed more consequences than it seems to the unwary eye. The mountain in Mountain Gate suffered deeply and a crack opened in the moutain leading to the abandoned caves. In Varonia it seems to be a infiltration right in the training area that has opened a huge crack in the ground leading to a old sewering system, in Dakeria the mountain in the training area seems to have cracked leading to a unknowed dungeon. Also, the underground D'akor'Warv city seems to have taken the punish aswell with a small crack in one of its wall.

The responsible of each cities have already deployed to secure the entrance from within. They carry little or no equipment for for those unafraid to rid the world of the perils that lie within . After inspecting the locations the cities understood that only a small man or woman would fit in the whole. After it .. a world of terror and decay laying in the very feet of the unsuspected citizens ..."





- And thus the Newbie Dungeons are born. Only a player with less of 80 points in any stata nd/or 60% of any skill will be granted passage. The guard after it has all the equipment needed at lower prices. He will buy only bones, furs and meat that you can chop off a rat or a skelleton, so that the player can reutilize the money to buy more equipment if needed.

- Mountain Gate is now closed in all ways. A brigde was made available to the upper part after Mountain Gate.

- Inns now have auto log out system. If you are afraid to log out in the middle of the woods because your afraid of not logging out, try our inn's then. (don't need to purchace a room)

- New maps are available in the Map area . Town maps so that everyone knows where everything is.

- D'akor'Warv race open and remember that staff is always on the lookout for great roleplayers. If you seem fit at our eyes to be in another race, don't call us .. we will call you !!

- Graveyards repopulated and harder toa complish on your own

- New city with new items! Where? Find out ... *grins*

"A tremendous BLAST thundered on Varonia. It appeared to come from north, from MOUNTAINGATE!
Right after the earth shaked! Caosgon and Balthus ran immediatly to see what was happening. Everything seemed all right until they got to the former "One Eye Dragon store" ... flames were everywhere, even outside
in the street and it seemed like they were eating the earth itself. Inside, the heat wouldn't let the mages enter. They desperatly tried to call for help to put out the fire and casted powerful Water elementals to stop the flames but the flames would simply evaporate such creatures! Eventually... there was no Trovag... nor Jiba... only ashes... well...maybe not just ashes..."

The New Dawn
 
18-01-02

Fellow citizens, our society is facing a terrible fragmentation, one set to strike the very heart of its foundations. Ulric's actions are setting brother against brother, father against son, husband against wife; he is starting a civil war!

Fellow citizens I urge you to think on this issue, this is Blood, Sweat and Labor versus a Golden Birth. At their eyes we are no more than sheep or slaves to do their biddings. The empire is corrupt and shines no more, those of true valor, worthy of our labor and blood no longer exist and their descendents are no more then tyrants wielding their crests in such a despotic way, that it shames me to be a part of the empire. They do not understand hard work, because they have never done it, and look at one that climbs through his own effort as a threat. In their lack of enlightening, they work to destroy what we have created, the right of choice, and that is the most despicable crime. So my fellow citizens we are now faced with a serious decision, to submit to the rotten fruits of the Empire or to create a new one, one lead by the citizens and to the citizens. One in which people are judged by their actions and not by their name. One in which all are treated equal no matter how poor or how rich, no matter the profession or the name. Now is the time for a new Dawn and will not cross my arms and submit to the corrupt and unjust shadow that was once called the Empire.

I Drynd, as captain of the Militia, hereby declare the state of Martial Law in the Twin Cities of Varonia and Mountain Gate! All those willing to embrace Ulric's cause are free to leave the cities within the next 3 days, after that period all traitors found inside the city walls will be dealt accordingly. All nobles willing to embrace the people's cause must renounce to their title. All who chose to submit to Ulric's ruling will be treated as enemies and dealt accordingly. From this moment on I cease my functions as member of the Council until the end of this war. I call to me all willing to start a new Dawn.

Drynd, Captain of the Militia

Notice from the Militia
 
13-01-02

Yesterday, two charges were presented to me, concerning the actions of Windslown. Aetius Macleod, the accuser and Nazka Madathai, his witness of the events.

Windslown was charged of treason and murder attempt. After the interrogation there were reasonable doubts that Windslown was a traitor, it was also obvious that the aggression towards Aetius was an act of momentary madness rather than crime, an unexpected provocation working on a mind already unbalanced by past events.

Even though, an aggression is an aggression as much as the law is the law, and so Windslown was about to be banished when Aetius pleaded for him. That plead surprised me and for that we were lenient, maybe too lenient. But in our calling we must be understanding and so we stand by our decision, in the hope that our mercy will not encourage criminals to abuse it. They should remember that the hand of justice is swift, and hard. And so, Windslown was sentenced to 1 month and one day of work to Aetius Macleod along with a fine of 20 000 gold and the loss of 500 glory.

It should be remembered that every citizen has, at any time, the right to recourse of these decisions, and to demand exile instead of serving the sentence, thus setting himself out of the law, out of the society of man, out of the rights and duties of citizenship.

Drynd, Captain of the Militia

Good News!
