Medievia Flyers

Now is the time that many of our fair Medievians must head back to the hallowed halls of learning. Universities, colleges, high schools, and foreign countries await those who walk Medievian soil during the summer months. As it is such, wouldn't it be nice for a piece of Medievia to go with them?

We at Medievia are once again offering to send flyers to those who wish to help spread the word about Medievia. Soleil is offering to send 5flyers to anyone willing to post them around town on bulletin boards - in coffee shops, gaming stores, comic book stores, college campuses, libraries and so forth. In addition to the flyers, we will send some business cards for you to hand out or leave around. Medievia would not be what itis today without players like you spreading the word about our greatland.

The flyers are of high quality and are printed on heavy paper. The design is exactly like that of the advertisement that was placed in PCGamer and Dragon Magazine a few years ago. To see it go to www.medievia.com/pcgamer.html. Please be warned that it is a large file and may take awhile to open.

To get your flyers, email Soleil@medievia.com with your player name, realname, address and your university or school. As Medievia will be supporting the media costs and postage we ask that only people who are serious about posting the flyers and distrubuting the cards to request
them. It is not guaranteed that everyone who requests flyers will be sent them, but Soleil will notify anyone she sends them to.

In addition to the flyers mentioned above, there are flyers on the Website created by Solinari and Jathael that you can download and print. Check them out now by visiting www.medievia.com/flyers.html

Help spread the word about Medievia!

Ship Change- Scrapping

Ships can now be scrapped for gold. Very soon ships will be charged per minute docked so clans will need a way to get rid of some older ships. The ships are worth 35,000 gold per ton plus 100,000 gold per gun. To scrap a ship you must be on the ship and be the leader or coleader of the clan that owns it. NOTE that the ship will be totally deleted with anything in its rooms, all of its stats, etc. It will be totally PURGED. SHIPADMIN SCRAP is the command.

Changes to Mage Class

From governor Korius:

Malediction has been changed so that manashield can not be active at the same time as this spell. Similar to Phantasmal Images, Manashield will drop when a player casts malediction. Please note that this change is currently in testing, and player feedback should be sent through the political leaders.

Both Uribam and I felt that this change was necessary to help balance PK and the mage class. It is possible right now for a mage to 1-shot kill people from full hps with malediction, and not be in danger of dying due to mana kickback and manashield. While not every mage in the game has the stats for this scenario, it happens often enough that either the offensive or defensive power of mages needed to be examined. Some have argued that stabber classes can have the same potential damage output and survivability. However, due to backstab's rolls for multipliers and number of attacks vs malediction's more consistent damage, this happens much less frequently. Removal of manashield reintroduces the higher risk of dying (due to low hps) that was intended for malediction damage of this type.

Again please remember, this change and it's effects on PK are being tested and monitored, and feedback should be sent to the mayor or governor.
