Heads up to everyone the Sim's of Minerva and Athena (if you didn't know Minerva is two sims now) will be closed tomorrow from 1am till about 3pm where we will open with a public meeting about all the changes.
As I've said in past communication via the Guild Council this is not so much an upgrade as a new game, with over 100 spells, loads of new stats, new battle system and much, much more. So we do expect a few bugs ... But to make it clear to those who are playing, anything you own at present will be upgraded to the same stats so you will not have wasted any money (L$ or Gold).
I've spoken and demo'ed to most of the long lasting players and everyone is very impressed. We've bugged tested as much as possible, but you can never test 20 people attacking one person (well you can you need 21 people! LOL) and I'm sure we will have a few more small upgrades to the packs in the next couple of weeks.
Finally, to get your mouth water flowing, one of the new attributes is TP'ed home (waiting for the new TP we were promised in 1.8 but it don't work, not my fault! hehehe) when killed by another player! This will allow us a massive quest where myself and a few other players will defend the library. (this is where you learn new stats and stuff, in fact you can teach other players with stats less than you). It will be a timed quest where points are awarded for staying in the library the longest, of course pack on and everytime you die, you have to battle your way back in (No Sleep for us eh Kad?) prize will be a Mage Amulet Maker (this produces amulets that allow you to recharge your magic on the run, rather than having to return to the Guild Halls).
Anyways. If you can't get into Minerva Tomorrow you know why! 3pm SL Time @ Minerva Village Square, I just may have the manual sorted out! (thanks to willow c for that!)...
Cheers Minervans
