warriors, and there is even the rumor of a spirit!
Designer note: This is the first part of an interconnected
complex of areas. Each area will have a subquest, and all
subquests will follow one story. As the new subareas come
out, more of the story will be revealed. You may find some
exits that don't go anywhere - yet! So enjoy the first installment

This was not a pleasant event, and for the most part sucks.
Jaguar abused his wizard powers by giving things to Aphrodite. We cannot
as a mud tolerate that, and we had to dewiz Jaguar. He is free to
return as a player
the nuking was just to clean up guilds/taskpoing/exp etc gained as a wizard.
We have logs of certain items changing hands. If anyone else has
been a recipient of

Some information for those who have (or are planning) on submitting
a builder application before July 1st.
1. Builder applications received since the last review cycle will
be looked at in July. You will be informed sometime by the end of
July regarding approval.
2. There is a question on the builder applications ... "Will you
uphold the wiz rules?" ... by answering 'Yes' to this question, you
are effectively saying the following:
"Yes, I have read the wiz_rules document completely and thoroughly.
I either was able to fully understand each section or sought
assistance from another in gaining this understanding. I agree that
I will follow these rules. If I should fail in this regard, I
understand that I may LOOSE the PRIVILEGE of being a
uilder/wizard."
Thank you,

During the course of July, I reviewed all of the builder
applications that were submitted between April 1 and July 1. Three
new builders were selected, and I feel that they are already showing
a great deal of promise towards enhancing/expanding IoM.
For those of you who submitted applications after July 1st, your
application will be reviewed during October 2003 along with any
others received between now and October 1st. You will receive
notification from me by the end of October as to the decision for
that cycle.
For those of you who have not submitted applications, but will.
Please ensure that the "area idea" submitted with your application
is complete and thorough. Aside from your worth and your name, I
have very little information with which to make a decision upon.
Because of this, I give a great deal of emphasis on the area you are
seeking to create. While coding experience is preferred and does
play a factor also, that is something we are able to work on much
easier than other areas.
Thank you,

After a talk with Daneel.. if the list of players is longer than

Figuring that less than mroe than 5 players is just spam, and that

If you are using Zmud or Mushclient or any other

If you wish you can download a set of maps of the islands
(they are slightly out of date, I will generate new ones shortly).
http:\\www.islandsofmyth.org/downloads/maps.zip
Save that file into an images directory under the name you use
for this mud.
example mine is c\program files\zmud\IOM\images (IOM) is the name
of my connection for this mud.
Once you unzip those maps in that directory and enabled MXP
(preferences->general->emulation
on zmud) you can type 'map gossamer' 'map blackavar' 'map oddworld'
'map misty'
etc.
Warning. I did this last night on ver 6.5X of Zmud and it didnt
scroll the screen when
displaying the image just an FYI 6.62 fixed that problem.
Purely optional, you do not need to use this if you do not wish to.

subject: Invisible changes
date: Fri Oct 10 06:04:45 2003
I've made some lib changes that should be completely invisible
(i.e., you should see no effects). If you do, they'll probably
be errors, and they'll probably start occuring next reboot. So
if that happens, please be patient with me.
Should make things cleaner and safer in the long run.
-Daneel
p.s. The changes have to do with global functions that affect
all players (global hooks for those that understand this), so
if you're seeing something that's affecting only you, don't bug
me about it, it's not this. If you see something happening to
everyone, and I'm not right there handleing it, please mail me
the details (even if I'm logged in but idle, tells will probably
get lost by the time I get back).
Thank you for your patience.

this is a perfect case. The monsters did not get 'tuned'
they did not get adjusted because of any whining players

It was plain and simple a bug introduced by the changes to

-- Added tags for email, url, shops, monsters,
aggressive monsters, long desc, exits, and brief.
-- email and url's can be clicked on in finger.
-- shops their inventory can be right clicked to buy 1,
buy 10, or buy all
-- monsters can be clicked to kill them, and right clicked
to do consider, look or kill
-- aggressive monsters the same.
-- room name, exits, and long desc are supposedly set up for the
automapper, but I have not gotten that to work yet and havent
been able to work through the issues yet.
For each of the tags above in ZMUD if you go to

the color of each of them. Click on enable first,then the
color.
21- email
22- url
23- Long Desc
24- Exits

Yes I purged 46 messages from the general group.
I have grown tired of the bickering back and forth.
My suggestion from now on if you have a comment about the
shifter guild use the idea command. That way all the idiotic

Channel banishment can now be done on a per channel basis. This is

player is bani
shed from all channels. That was not the only reason for this being
done, howev
er. Owners of channels, be they permenent or temporary, can also
banish people
from their channels instead of making them private. The syntax for
this new abi
lity is:
channame ban who reason
The reason is required. Once a banishement takes place, wizards,
player reps, a
nd channel owners will see any banishments that exist.
To unbanish a player from a channel use the following syntax:
channame unban who

subject: mxp changes
date: Tue Apr 6 17:41:10 2004
MXP changes.
I am slowly changing from the 'mxp' command to a new
version of it that will allow you to control which
tags are sent to you and which arent.
As a temporary solution the new command is mxp2. Currently
only 2 options work with mxp2. All the rest of the options
are still controlled from the mxp on command.
mxp2 status bar
mxp2 gauges
If you turn the status bar option on the mud will start
sending you a status bar that looks like the following:
HP: 10/10 SP: 10/10 EP: 10/10 Monster: Orc Health: 90 Action: Light
If you turn the gauges on you will see 4 colored bars
that represent your hp/sp/ep/monster health.
You can control the color of these bars by right
clicking on them and changing them.
These are meant to be basic status bars/gauges for those
that do not wish to write their own triggers.
Currently the options do not save that you have turned on
that is because I am still actively working on them and
may be changing things behind the scenes.
Players that do not have MXP can turn this on as well.
I have not tied it in with the checking to see if the
client is MXP aware or not so you will get spammed
if you turn it on.
Please let me know of of any problems other than only
the first word of a name/skill showing up. This has
been fixed when you get a new body.
Also note that I am working on this stuff so it may
break from time to time.

4 players nuked for winnig a lot of money at the dragon races
then rather than saying woah thats not right they all immeidately
started spending it. They introduced approx. 1,000,000,000 gold into the
mud in 1 day and thought that was ok.
We started down the path of just taking their gold back from them
however we ran into obstacles as they dispersed the money so quickly
those players that received the money put up obstacles of their
own and made it near impossible for us to get the money back out
of the game.
Khosan spent time trying to manually talk to the players involved
and reverse the transactions however like I said above he
hit road block after road block and players not cooperating.
The only solution at that time was to restore a backup from
5/30 which puts everything back to a point in time where thsi
problem had not occured yet.
Yes it sucks but its the way it is going to be.
Everyone is in the same position.

Over the next few days, the exact functioning of said items
when in mist form may change a little, though :-)

and appears to be quite random in its appearance.
Dont delete the mail that you get lost messages on its still on
disk (it may get deleted automatically I will check on that when
I get time today).
It is still on disk though so the mail is still there it
just isnt finding it for some reason. Next time you try your
mail it may very well be there.
Anyway dont report it any more, I put logging in a few days
ago so I can tell who has lost mail.

After years of trying, Achman has finally persuaded the
headmaster at the school of necromancy to start take
outsiders as apprentices.
The necromancers are still not sure however and for
starters they only want a select few of them and so
for now you will have to mail Ixtlilton if you want to
become a necromancer.
For those who didn't get it.
I need some player testers for necros. I will be taking
players from level 50 and up. As a player tester you are
meant to test the guild out and see if everything works
as intended, if anything bugs or is severely out of tune etc.
Mail me if your interested, include your current level and
worth and any other information that you think is good
to know.
I will post again when the players are selected if you havent
gotten a reply to your mail by then i can only wish you better
luck next time.

The machine the mud runs on had a little problem this morning.
A script went a little haywire and filled up all the disks.
While the mud kept running it could no longer save anything
and for whatever reason way long ago in the past it was decided that
errors saving would be quietly ignored.
So it is intirely possible you lost a few hours of exp/eq/whatever
with your character.

subject: crash
date: Thu Jul 29 18:16:30 2004
Not sure why we crashed... however the exp loss for some of you.
We do auto save players every 20 minutes however
early this morning it did error due to trying to save too
many players all at once (this is code back from 1996) so we
were not saving automatically. Those that were typing save lost
exp back to the point they had last saved. Those that didn't save
lost a lot more depending on when you did some action that triggered
you to save (there are a few actions other than typing save but off the top
of my head I don't recall)
This afternoon I will remove this code and make each person
save individually every 20 minutes which will remove
this problem.
Not that this helps the people that lost exp but at least we
have a reason.

You will need to go link dead and reconnect if you connected to

After boot...
Forget style effects on monsters will not be 100% effective.
Monsters will have a chance to cast a spell or use a skill through
forget. That chance is based on their level.
High level monsters will have a (slightly) better chance to resist
stuns caused by spells.
Mind Vortex has been tuned somewhat, recalculated success chance,
increased casting time, decreased effect duration, slightly reduced
effect strength.
A few other witch spells have had their casting times increased.
