Conversion: General Information

Sunday, September 17, 2000
"Here's the status of the few remaining closed zones, in case you were wondering.:

  • Temple of the Sphinx: This is the only zone belonging to Cyruss that is still closed. Until he re-surfaces and lets us know if he still intends to re-do it, it will stay closed, and the eq from it unusable.
  • Hope County, Mourning Castle: This zone is waiting for Cyng to convert it, and all eq from this zone will remain invalid until he has time to do so.
  • Allaria:This zone is waiting for Cyng to convert it, and all eq from this zone will remain invalid until he has time to do so.
We are currently making sure that all mobs in newbie and low-level areas have armor classes and hitrolls that allow them to be "takeable" by newbie and low-level players. We're also preparing to install a radical new change in how the mud determines what classes can use what equipment. It will be ground-breaking and probably more intricate and a pain-in-the-butt to set up than anything found on ANY other mud, but it'll keep things interesting. Stay tuned here for updates." -Zaulh'ghev

  • Light Derkwood
  • Alanholt Keep
  • Nirenoft
  • Silver Oak Forest

As more zones are done, they'll be posted here. I don't know if they'll all get done by the end of Monday the 4th, but many of the commonly travelled zones will be." -Zaulh'ghev

"The following areas of the mud are closed until further notice. They have not been converted as of this writing, and will not be available for game-play until they get done. I will personally be working to get the more public areas converted as quickly as possible, so the major public areas should only be down for a day or two (I have all of Labor Day Weekend to work on it). The areas are listed, by builder, below:

    Cyng
    • Light Derkwood
    • Alanholt Keep
    • Nirenoft
    • Hope County, Mourning Castle (For Rowan)
    • Allaria
    Cyruss
    • The Cathedral of Hate
    • The Silver Oak Forest
    • Dunchester
    • Ballysaggartmore Keep
    • Necropolis
    • The Skyship Icarus
    • The University of Thaumaurgical Arts
    • Ossat Gateway & Island
    • Ossat Industrial Zone
    • The Shattered Isle
    Dzauron
    • Bleeding Mermaid Tavern
Obviously, Nirenoft will be my first priority, followed by Light Derkwood,Alanholt and Silver Oak Forest (the newbie zone for Nirenoft and Sylvandell). The rest will be done as time permits, in no particular order. Fates willing, all the zones listed above will be done by the end of the day on Monday, September 4th, 2000." -Zaulh'ghev

"Dzauron has asked me to inform everyone that, as of September 1st, the Bleeding Mermaid Tavern will be closed for 2-3 weeks while adjustments are made, and requested that I post this info here. Also, an e-mail went out to the RP mailing list last night, requesting to know if any of the RP personages desired "major supporting roles" in the endgame RP on the 1st." - Mouseglove
