Dear players,

Here we are at last! We are pleased to present the latest patch, which brings both significant fixes and long awaited additions.

The patch is scheduled for Wednesday, February 29 at 10:00 AM Paris time. The servers will be closed for a period of about 2 hours.

We would like to thank all players for your patience with the recent technical problems the game has had with resale and PvP etc, they provided quite a challenge to solve but have been finally squashed with this patch.

But enough talk, here some more details about the patch:

New Additions

Advanced WebIg ("Web in-game") features uses now an improved system, much faster and secure.

You can now add offline players to your friends list.
Lot of improvements to make WebIg more immersive.

League system: Temporary PvP alliance of Teams
- Team leaders can set the league name using: /league "<leaguename>".
- Team leaders can invite other teams or players into a league using: /leagueinvite <name>. If the invited player is not the leader of his team the invitation is sent to the leader.
- Each league will have a private channel "League" or the name given to the league when it was created.
- List of players in league can be displayed using: "/who league" or "/who <league name>".
- A team or player can quit league using: /leaguequit.
- Team leaders can kick a team or player from league using: /leaguekick.
- If a player joins a team in a league, he joins the league too.
- If a player leaves a team in a league, he leaves the league too.
- If a player without team is in a league and creates a team, the new team joins the league.
- All players in a league are PvP allies. No loot or XP is shared between league members.
PvP
The following is only for players that are PvP tagged:
- Players in same Team and/or same League are allies.
- Players in same Guild but in 2 differents Leagues are enemies.
- Players in same Guild but not in a league or in same Team/League are allies.
- In all other cases players are enemies.
- If players are enemies and start a duel, their PvP flag will be set. Change your PvP mode. to "No PvP" or make a Team/League before duelling to avoid this.
PvP safe zones
- Players that are PvP tagged (but not flagged) are PvP protected in a safe zone. You can safely AFK at teleporters/portals until you do a PvP action.
- Players that are PvP flagged are protected in a safe zone only after respawn or teleport.
- Attacks are forbidden if target player is PvP protected.
- Player can't attack if he is PvP protected.
- Heals are forbidden in a safe zone if one player is flagged and other not.
- Heals are forbidden if a player is in a safe zone and other not.
PvP Points
- PvP points are now generic (no more Kami/Kara/... PvP points).
- All PvP players can win PvP points. The base points depends on the level of target.
- Amount of PvP points won = Base points x Fame score. Fame scores are calculated using these rules:
  - 2 allies fames (both <= -25 OR both >= 25): -1
  - 2 enemies fames (one <= -25 and other => 25): +1
  - One or both neutral fames (between -25 and 25): 0
  - The final score is sum of all scores for all fames (Example : 2 allies fames: -2, 3 enemies fames: +3, 1 neutral fame : 0, score=1)
  - Minimum score is 0 and maximum is 3
PvP icons (Add screens)
- New icons to display PvP state: No PvP, Tagged, Flagged.
- PvP tags are now a single icon with the relationship of the player with yourself: enemy (sword) or ally (shield) and PvP state: tagged (orange halo) or flagged (red halo).
- PvP protected players have a sword icon with blue halo.
- Players in Full PvP mode (Event characters only, can be attacked by and attack all players, tagged or not) have a red hand icon.
- Players in duel mode have a second icon (sword and axe) with blue halo.
Organizations
- An Organization is not a Civilization or a Cult, but a group of homins with the same goal. Some examples of Organizations are: Marauders, Trytonists, Rangers.
- Players can only be part of one Organization at a time.
- Players can join an Organization by passing a rite (at the moment, only the Marauders but others can be added later).
- Each Organization will have fame requirements to enable the rite. The sage (or equivalent) of the Organization will give more information.
- Players can win Organization points (like civilization points).
Marauder's Gameplay
- Players who join the Marauder Organization will have access to their own merchants, trainers, guild halls and rooms.
- Marauders plan to make their teleport system available to players who join their Organization.
