Stun Lag Changes 6/14/2011

Posted in Game Updates | Comments Off on Stun Lag Changes 6/14/2011

The lag on stunning skills (bash/sweep/force push etc) has been adjusted in two important ways:

  1. If you START combat using a stunning skill you will be unable to flee or even recall for a few rounds.
  2. You will no longer suffer lag preventing flee/retreat/escape when using stunning skills DURING combat.

Please see the forum for more information and consider yourself informed!

News for today

  • New item type “Bandolier” is in. It is a container exclusively for the use of throwing items and will automatically be used with “throw” when worn on the waist, about body, held, or in your inventory. Expect to see new bandolier items appearing as well as new use for old ones.
  • The skill “Bombardment” is now live and also being used by some mobs as well as Scoundrels. Be warned that Han Solo is a true scoundrel and will also utilize this skill along with Wild Card. Be careful!

Official RotJ Newsletter – Sept ’09

Posted in Communications, Game Updates | Comments Off on Official RotJ Newsletter – Sept ’09

Fall is fast approaching, and you know what that means. Cold weather, warm soup, and plenty more time to Mud! It also means Halloween is practically around the corner. For October, there will be a Player of the Month contest where you can create a costume for your character. The winner gets to wear his or her costume around. So check the forums and get to work!
Speaking of forums, probably one of the biggest changes is the website. A lot of work has been put into giving it better functionality. Thank you Oni and anyone else who has helped make these changes. Very cool!
There hasn’t been a large quantity of changes lately, but the changes made are big ones. Below is a breakdown of what happened. You can get more info on these changes in the Changes section of the forum on RotJmud.com.
Zones:
  • The Jedi Tower on Coruscant has had some mob tweaks, so be careful! (Tristen)
  • There’s a new newbie/lowbie space zone at jump 487. (Omicron)
Skills:
  • Scoundrel Level 100 now has a skill, Cheat. See help files for more info. (Raistlin)
Other Things:
  • Auction has been changed so that a minlevel will show up in the auction message. No more wasting credits to find out you can’t use it! (Raistlin)
  • Quest items are now considered personal items. This means a quest item purchased by one player can no longer be sold to other players. (Raistlin)
  • Added 2 new quest items for sale. A one use item that can be used to heal permanent wounds your character has suffered and a piece of equipment that can help those who are deathly afraid of subber death. (Raistlin)

Welcome to the New Website

Posted in Communications, Game Updates | Comments Off on Welcome to the New Website

Welcome back, and My how things have changed.

This is our new look website, so take the time to look around, you’ll find most of the old content is still here. With a few funky changes, that we’re sure you’re going to like.

First Point A large number of the Forum accounts were transferred over SO, if you do a Forgot password request, You’ll be able to reset it, and continue as normal.

Second Point We managed to get *most* of the forum posts over as well, but a few were missed, so don’t be upset, I’ll try and get them brought over soon.

Third Point We will be adding more content and improving the styles, etc over time. So be patient, and if you find any bugs.. Let Oni know.
