Some updates (currently active on dragon, then on other servers)

*Cancel and cancel-like skills: power reduced
*Disease: base effect is bleed (resistance on bleed will give resistance from disease)
*Weakness: base effect is poison (resistance on poison will give resistance from weakness)
*Wind shakle: base effect is wind (resistance on wind will give resistance from weakness)
*Drain effects: they are all now based on unholy (resistance from unholy gives resistance from drains)
*NPCs that was doing cancel of all, buff and debuffs, will now cancel only buffs
*Surrender to xxx will now stack to resistance to xxx (before they was removing each other)
disease and silence have now -base- probability of success of 60% (before was 80%)
*Silence and anchor now lasts 30 seconds (before was 120 seconds)
-------------------------------

Upcoming during the week:
- more tweaks on mages
- fix about weapon mastery stacking on XMENs

*Please remember that resistance/weakness from dark effects is same as resistance from unholy effects (and skills works accordantly to that)

Drake is doing something with server (testing or anything related to that)
I'm not sure, so I can't say much about ETA either, you'll notice it when it goes up, but wouldn't stay up for it ^^ I go sleep, goodnight =p

- Character aDv removed from Hall of Shame, he was not banned for coin exploit but for other reasons.

- Ban of Antharas Ramp exploiters changed from Perma to 1200 hours.

I have spoked with drake, the reason why he cant fix some things at the moment its because he have some rl issue as well as PC hardware failure (while i am typing this he should get new part- already ordered few days ago).

-But good news are that as soon as he get his pc working we are getting new machine which means no laggzor any more.

-About interlude as far as i am informed when drake is back online IL is ready for Upload (it might affect 24-48h downtime of all servers)

-About new site and new donations method (trough paypal) i've spoked to design team and its all ready , we are just waiting now new event page (design + new system of signing in for participation) to be done and design team + forum admins should put into work. (for more details try pm henrik or devilsmind)

-About recent Leaving of Raven servers dont be disturbed , traitors will always be traitors and they can leave which will not affect to a DN server at all.

- About my inactivities lately , i am sorry , but i am fixing something in real life (work to be more specific) but it will pass in few days and ill  be back again more activity like i was doing in past (help/events/fun)

-New machine for new NM was ordered yesterday, i hope during upcoming week we will have it UP and running.

I have also really really really GREAT NEWS , but i prefer few more days before publish them.

[=^TrackZero^=]

As promised few days ago Interlude is officially running on Arena x 500 server as test server (for public test), this is fully working interlude client and after a week (or even less) it will be fully implmented on all servers.

http://www.dragon-community.net/forum/index.php/topic,788.msg1029214.html#new

*Also whit this test period we will tweak some things (means we will decide what to do on some things, subs/mutants/clans/... ) but nothing serious thou.

*About so many asked question *mutants* , let me quote drake : No mutants.
Who was mutant will get a nice horn, level 79/80, skill reset and an SP bonus enough to get all skills back.

*And you can check the poll running: http://www.dragon-community.net/forum/index.php/topic,93121.0.html

*While testing arena if you find any bug you can post it bug section or send me PM on forum, i would appreciate it, so we can fix bugs in start. Consider as well that arena will be unstable those days because of daily changes and updates so have a patience on this.

I wish you nice testing on Arena and whit in few days cya on NM as Interlude.
Enjoy.

Chapter 2. (Other informations related to NM)

*I know issue about lag, and as i said and promised new machine is ordered and it is on setup (hoster information), so expect new machine very soon and bb lag, once again sorry for this one and thank you for having faith and trust in us.

*If you didn't notice, my previous assistant =Henrik= , after many months of helping in many areas (Thank you Henrik again), he have become 2nd gm of NM with builder in game , officially he is ^Henrik^ now (to prevent you from bad thinking, he cant summon items and all he do is logged same as me, so you don't have to worry about anything), his job will be to help in events and assist community , so you can ask him for help any time same as me(for donations for now PM only me , for donations approval).

*Recently we didn't had much events, now you can see on what we have worked , and until we are done uploading and putting the final touches to get Interlude on all servers, I won't have much time to run events, but after we are done with it expect 2-3 events every week, like before. (however i have 1 event from last night on delay, i will post it later for exact time)

Thats all for now ill inform when we get news.

New machine hes been just boughted and we did whole setup , now we are waiting hoster to put it live( they said up in next 48h ), machine is brand new with super statistic and after we put it UP you will expect 0 lag in the future. I am sorry again about recent lags but Nightmare server has grown drastically in last couple of months, so after collecting donations i have collected enough to afford us brand new machine and no lag. I hope you will support us in the future , thank you all who have been supporting us and expect changes in following days.

We have got new forum moderator "Torque" he will assist us on forum to make it all nice and clear.

~Welcome~

[=^TrackZero^=]

Well after some time of waiting our promises started to show as truth :

a) Get new machine to prevent lag and more easy playing.....Done
(Little explanation, we have separate the 2 machines like on Dragon for example now we have New upgraded machine for game and other separated machine for Login, which will reduce lag a lot)

b)Make new NPC-s that will be from help to new players (Npc with low C & B grade Items as well as 1 npc with all SB)....Done (should be up in few days)

c)Upload Interlude on all Nightmare x 30 ..... 97% Done (means all Major fixes , as well as security issues, kamel fortress sieges are fixed as well , geo's & doors 100%, skills 100%, so only whats left is some memory leaks which should be fixed really in few days. In the end we don't wanna open Interlude in a rush way and to end up like some servers did WIPE on 1st day of opening )

d)(r)Making of secret area that will be fully working as coloseum with teleport to it and of course with prizes for best pvp team.....85% Done (need few more tests)

e)(r)Clan Olympics .... 40% Done (working on this with my staff)

f)New Donation page for Nightmare as well as new site....Done ( waiting our designer to decide when we will open it, ask him about it)

Thats all for now, there are some other things that we are working on it, but ill inform you when time comes.

I wish you nice staying here.Enjoy
