All worlds will be brought down on Tuesday, August 28, 2007, at 8:00AM CDT to apply Build 91 (Chunk #1). The expected downtime is 4 hours. This extended downtime is required to make the necessary database changes to support multiple characters per account.

Here are the patch notes:

Multiple Character Support

This build has increased the number of characters supported on each account to three. You will notice an updated character selection and creation UI to support this new feature.

We are working to provide a website where you can consolidate your existing member accounts to a single account. However, the ETA on this new feature is not yet known.

Control Improvements

We have totally reworked our movement system to eliminate the persistent movement-lag that you have been experiencing. This change makes movement immediately responsive.

We¡¯ve also modified how the game interprets using a skill when holding down a keyboard movement key. For example, in the last build, holding down ¡°W¡± while trying to use a skill like Butcher would immediately interrupt the skill use. The game no longer does this. Your character will happily use a skill as directed and then go back to normal movement afterwards. If you want to interrupt your skill you¡¯ll have to click the movement key again.

We¡¯ve totally reworked the mouse-picking code in this build. This will allow you to more easily target monsters, players and items in the game world.

Membership Required Worlds

We have added the notion of members-only worlds. These worlds are clearly marked on the world selection screen. Only members can access members-only worlds.

Relics

We¡¯ve added a new relic-collection meta-game to Dungeon Runners. You¡¯ll see new relic chests appearing in the dungeons. These chests have a chance to generate sweet relics that you can turn in for cash or King¡¯s Coins. They also contain other surprises that you¡¯ll have to see for yourself!

Shrines

We¡¯ve added random shrines to the dungeons as well! You¡¯ll know these when you see them. Simply click on the shrine to get a special buff to help increase your power!
