Welcome our newest developer, Mixxit. He will be assisting with scripting (quests) and content/database.

Code

Rogean: Implimented the Tell Queue. Tells sent to players zoning will be queued for delivery when they are finished zoning. This system could also handle other channels such as ooc, guildchat, etc, but only tells are enabled for now.
Rogean: Disabled several background systems that we don't have a need for, such as the loading of aa's, tribute, task management, etc. This shouldn't cause any problems but let me know if anything is noticed.

my faction work for oggok is no longer useless :)



edit:

after patch i see lvl req as 255 on spirit of wolf scroll for rng,druid and sham.. and yes i did update the spell files.


edit2:

you can send unlimited tells in a row now.. you get "tell-suspended" for up to 20-30secs.. sucks for us who writes fast using 10-finger system..

Question about Brother Zephyl. How does he spawn now? only after you kill the drake or Hasten?

The tell rate limit is no good. I'm having a perfectly normal-paced conversation and every 4th tell I hafta wait 15secs again. =/

Loving the other stuff. Does the golem-change mean they'll DT even if CT isn't up?

Agree the you have reached tell limit is annoying, can't even get your last message back by Shift up arrow like normal..
