Posted March 19, 2023 Refunds for Downsizing Deeds Tonight's restart includes the ability to downsize deeds and receive a refund. The one exception is the initial, minimal founding size of the deed (11*11 tiles) will not be refunded. Only the Mayor may perform this action using the Village resize menu. The refunded coins go automatically into the bank account of the Mayor. Each deed on the Frenetia and Arboretum servers has had five weeks of upkeep placed into the deed's funds to assist players in the transition to paying Deed upkeep, commencing on the 25 March. Best Wishes from Pam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 8, 2023 Introducing "Mystery Portals" Eight travellers' mystery portals have been located on the Frenetia Server at useful locations, including the Black and White Lights. The Portals allow instant travel from one portal to another, at a different location in a random manner. Sometimes the portal itself may be the random destination. Eventually, with a sufficient amount of trips it will be possible to return to the starting portal. About 30 seconds may be needed between trips to allow dizziness reduction (and graphics recovery time!). The mystery portals will be permanent. The following message appears when a portal is examined, "This magical portal shows rapid glimpses to other lands. It allows instant travel to a random portal." As well as being of practical advantage allowing easier movement around the server, the mystery portals have been coded to deliver event prizes. Over the Easter season one of the portals gives a picnic basket with eggs and Easter eggs. There is no limitation on accounts, one prize per account. Tour around the portals to to find the portal with the Easter Bunny's basket. Happy Easter to all. Best wishes from Pam and Tam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2023 Open Gobbler Server Closing. This first version of the Open Gobbler Server will be closing on 26 August 2023. Thanks to all who participated. It will be saved and kept, perhaps used in events. In the future we may run an Open Gobbler server with a few modifications, namely a different map, probably smaller in area and having a run time of 6 months rather than a year. We have decided to leave the other two servers, Arboretum and Frenetia as they are, joined together as a cluster and by request, unchanged geographically. I certainly agree that there are very few maps which are as beautiful as the Frenetia map. Any climate change code would be better suited to an Open Gobbler server. However, for now, real life has been busy and our attention has been captured as players, saving Eco worlds from meteors. Best wishes from Pam and Tam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
