Update and Expansion

The consent and mating system, along with a revamped layeggs skill code, have been reinstated into the game this week. Consent has been overhauled and has been turned into a mating only code command and all of the "xsocials" have been renamed to be easier to use and generally more intuitive.

Keep in mind that only characters of age 14 and greater can participate in the mating system and only females of age 14 and higher will be given the layeggs skill because of this.

A new skill, circle, is in play and available to characters at level 40 and I am presently looking at other new skill possibilities.

The Egg Mountain area is live, now, and, with it, access to the Eden Lake area as well. The Eden river can now be travelled from its source (a huge waterfall) to to its terminus at the river delta. Next on the list of areas are those that lie on the southern side of the Eden river.

As an extra "treat" feature, the wonderful Starmap snippet written by Nebseni of Clandestine MUD and ported to Smaug by Desden, has been added to the AoR codebase, too. Type help starmap to see more info and make sure you have ansi ON to enjoy this feature when the weather is right.

Mika has been promoted to builder status and will likely be working on the waterfall cavern area, while Jarron will be working on the western forest that is adjacent to the Duskfall home area. I will probably begin work on the T-Rex nesting area that is south of the Red Claw pyramid.
