Many have requested&lt;br&gt;portions, many have requested the status-quo, but the&lt;br&gt;fact of the matter we've discussed this and believe it&lt;br&gt;moves the game in a more fun and balanced direction.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a major change for all you non-humanoids out &lt;br&gt;there. While We've tried to keep the upside and downside &lt;br&gt;of these changes balanced, many will feel strongly that &lt;br&gt;it is a huge increase or decrease. Unfortunately for me, &lt;br&gt;the perception will probably be based upon whether you're &lt;br&gt;anon-humanoid or not, so let me get this out of the way:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you're a non-humanoid, this a reduction to non-humanoids.&lt;br&gt;If you're a humanoid, this an increase to non-humanoids.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is the way politics on Tsunami works, so I'll just toss &lt;br&gt;out the changes, my justifications and let the whining &lt;br&gt;fall where it may:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part A - Hoards&lt;br&gt; - Anyone with a hoard may now withdraw up to 10% of the &lt;br&gt; cash they have ever hoarded.&lt;br&gt; - Once you withdraw that 10% you will not gain experience&lt;br&gt; for additional hoards until you 'pay back' the &lt;br&gt; amount you collected. Essentially, think of it as a&lt;br&gt; loan to yourself.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Part B - Active quickhealing&lt;br&gt; - The first round of healing will always heal 1 hp/sp.&lt;br&gt; - The amount of healing in subsequent healing rounds&lt;br&gt; will increase by 1 each time. (ie: 2/2, 3/3, ...)&lt;br&gt; - This increasing will continue until you reach a cap&lt;br&gt; based upon your quickheal skill.&lt;br&gt; - This cap is BIG.&lt;br&gt; - Quickealing works the same in wars as on the mud.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part C - Monster heals&lt;br&gt; - non-humanoid heals now cost approximately 25% more.&lt;br&gt; - Ouch.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Part D - There is no part E (yet).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is part of a major adjustment to both the balance&lt;br&gt;between non-humanoids/humanoids and an economic adjustment&lt;br&gt;to the mud. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While some of the effects of this change are obvious,&lt;br&gt;some are more subtle and will probably take a while to&lt;br&gt;equalize out. Some of the effects are probably unforseen&lt;br&gt;and will bring apocolyptic doom to the mud. Sorry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are a couple more stages to this project that will&lt;br&gt;probably be more focussed towards humanoids, but the end&lt;br&gt;results we are looking for are as follows:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A reduction in the differences between the ability of&lt;br&gt;humanoids and non-humanoids to:&lt;br&gt; - PK&lt;br&gt; - Gain cash&lt;br&gt; - Use cash&lt;br&gt; - Gain experience&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An overall ability for players to raise characters without&lt;br&gt;spending their time money-running.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;An overall ability for players with lots of cash to&lt;br&gt;gain experience faster or have other outlets for that&lt;br&gt;cash.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please realize that there will be further major adjustments&lt;br&gt;that should complement this change in persuit of these&lt;br&gt;goals and we will try to release them in groups that are&lt;br&gt;fairly balance-neutral so that no one gets particularly &lt;br&gt;screwed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would appreciate any input as to the specific affects &lt;br&gt;of this change (and others) and as always, please be on&lt;br&gt;the lookout for bugs (both benign and malign) and report&lt;br&gt;them immediately.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good luck and let the bitching commense! ;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Charon&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
