Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.27 Release Notes
October 6, 2001
==============================
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Some testers have expressed confusion regarding the pre-subscription process.
We thought we had made it clear that pre-subscribe means that you are purchasing
your time immediately. When beta testers sign up for the special $9.89
pre-subscription rate, their credit card is immediately charged for the full
three month amount.
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Storage Vaults are now in the game. To use them, right-click on a Vault Keeper
NPC and you'll see a window listing all the objects you have in storage. You can
drag items to and from your interface into the bank just as you do any other
trading transaction. See the world notes for locations of the Vault Keeper NPCs.
Please note that you can store only objects in the Vaults - since money does not
have weight, and you do not drop it on death, there is no need to store money in
the vault. Currently, the vault window shows money slots at the bottom; these
are erroneous and should not be there. We'll fix that soon.
- The "mini-friends" button on the character sheet has been renamed "Friends".
- Berserker Frenzy has been changed. Now, when Berserkers are Frenzying, they
will critical hit every time they hit an enemy, which significantly increases
their damage output. All levels of Berserker Frenzy currently act exactly the
same; we will be addressing this over the next couple of days.
WORLD NOTES
New Dungeon:
"Koalinth Tribal Caverns" Hibernian dungeon levels 20 - 30
Koalinths are a coastal / marine species of hobgoblins. A tribe of Koalinths
have migrated from their traditional homelands which are under the sea off of
the coast. They have taken over a series of caves and ancient tunnels near the
Cliffs of Moher. From here they stage hunting raids on nearby settlements, and
can still reach the sea easily to communicate with their homeland. It is unknown
why these creatures are moving from their natural element to invade the lands of
Hibernia, which until now they have largely avoided. The fact that they would
undertake such a drastic move hints at darker powers.
