VERSION CHANGES

Version 1.1.7.2 (March 11, 2012 )
- Errors in the game when moving it from the old kernel to the new one, that allowed you to log into the same character more than once....had to be fixed and it was. Enjoy
- Readded the Whisper button. It works for me, test for bugs guys :)

Version 1.1.7.1 (February 14, 2012 )
- Added DarkEnigma's gravesite to Phantasia Ultimate

Version 1.1.7 (December 18)
- Quests can only be started at or after level 30.
- Houses can be bought now after level 100.
- Fixed a bug where Councils, X-valars, and Valars could use the wand against Morgoth.
- Added an experience bar to the game so people can find out how close they are to their next level, without
  opening examine diagrams.
- Added Real Estate, raiding and buying houses and other real estate.

Version 1.1.6 (December 14)
- Made it so experimentos who are less than level 5 and who attack a player will never get first hit, because
  this was abused to kill very high levels using a level 0's All or Nothing.
- Changed age for each degeneration from 900 to 750 age to make the game a bit more of a challenge.
- Changed Maximum King Bestow from 1 million gold to 20000 gold. This will cover a huge loophole where
  people could make many backups of level 5+ with 200, 000 shields. The game will be a lot more of a
  challenge now.
- Fixed a few spelling mistakes.

Version 1.1.5 (November 24 - December 9)
- Added life scrolls for Evolutionists, but these can only be obtained when the evolutionist has 0 lives.
- Re-added the IT combat warning message removed with the last change and it is now fixed.
- Removed the "The square you're moving into is currently occupied by another player. Do you still wish to
  move there?" warning message temporarily as it caused 95% of the sockets on Phantasia Ultimate. This
  may be replaced in the future.

- Added a back catch to the restore command for valars. Now 5% of the time a valar restores a player they
  get a degeneration.
- Added a back catch to the banish command for valars. Now 10% of the time a valar banishes a player they
  will be auto-banished themselves. This is to prevent one valar just banishing everyone.
- Changed taxes on nobility. Stewards now have a maximum coffer of 80000 gold which was originally 40000
  gold. Also stewards can now get a maximum donation of 2000 gold at once where as before it was 1000
  gold at once. Kings now have a maximum coffer of 5 million gold which was originally 2 million gold and
  maximum donations are now 50000 instead of 20000 gold.
- Remove the Network number in the layout for the information on players screen so that multiples aliases
  are more effective.
- Changed Quest #6, instead of a staff or crown, James now wants a ring as well as the palantir and gems.

- Adjusted charm blockage against monsters in the Evolution Realm, because size 2 there (size 10000) in
  normal realm were using only 4 charms to be blocked.
- Fixed Leanan's sap strength and Vortex's sap mana in the Evolution Realm, it was very low because it was
  not multiplied by 5000.

          combat. Thanks to Hackakil for this idea.
        - At a special level, Saiyans ascend to become Super Saiyans.

- Fixed a quest bug where Quest 16 wanted Quest 14 to be activated and also fixed a Quest bug where the

Version 1.1.3 (October 18 - October 25)
- Fixed a lot of Evolution Realm bugs
- Added the Evolution realm which is a new island as an addition past the Edge of the Realm, which is only
  accessible when possessing the Amulet of Stardom. People who go here never return, and cannot affect
  people on either sides of the realms. Maximum old age level here is 1 million - 10 * degenerations. People
  who go here become Evolutionists with the suffix E on their name. Starts with Size 1, but has huge monster
  statistics.

  and Rohan.

  on whisper. As soon as you rest you will get option on who to send it to.
- Changed the IT combat structure. Apprentices/Wizards always get first in combat, this is to prevent pking of
  apprentices. If one of the combatants possesses a bless, they always go first unless the other person has
  bless in which case the first attack is randomized.
- Fixed a bug where when someone with staves/crowns got cerbed, the staves/crowns were not removed.

Version 1.1.1 (September 17 - October 2)
- Fixed a loophole in the greed change where players could just close window to avoid having to drop their
  gold and gems. Now if you close window after getting the option you will get the option as soon as you
  come back on.
- Removed the option for confirmation codes for this was found to be a waste of time and reduced playing
  time while people waited for their emails. From now on when an account is made, you can just login right
  after signing up. Any account which was not confirmed and was signed up before today can just be logged
  in to and it will not ask for the confirmation code.
- Morgoth is the only monster that drops Council Trove scrolls, and he no longer gives size 9 treasure
  because of this. His treasure is type 0 which is nothing.
- Added the Wand completely, it is now able to be used in combat to yield all spells, and also it is more
  accurate than the palantir and can be used instead of it to look for grail or corpses. Also there is a wand
  graphic which was added to the status panel and also a wand lookup which was added to the examine
  dialog. Wand also increases the damage mana bolt does.

- Fixed a bug with Whisper which forced the game to do a core meltdown after 30 seconds if the whisper
  timed-out.
- Made it so Valars could no longer relocate a person who is in or past PONR anywhere.

- Changed the remaining applet pictures that were not changed a few days ago and now only the old Blessing
  picture resides from the old Phantasia v4.
- Changed the name of one of the starting places from Mordor to Rivendell. This is to follow closer to the
   LOTR theme where Mordor consisted of the Plateau of Gorgoroth and Moint Doom. On the other hand
   Rivendell is an elf village under the leadership of the great Elrond.

Version 1.1 (August 28 - September 16)

  Oracle. Valars now have a new command called Banish.
- Changed the life distribution to Power Classes. Oracle still gets 1 life, but Council gets 3 and Valar gets 5.
- Switched Powers around. Made a new command called Gem Zap which turns all the opponents gems into
  gold and gave this power to the valar. Gave the old degenerate power to the Council and in turn gave the
  Curse ability to the Oracle.
- Also added the in between power for level 2000 - 3000 of the Oracle which was suggested to be by
  Accendant.
- Added an option to King and Steward so that when you collect taxes where it shows you how much there is
  and then asks you if you want to collect all the taxes.
- Fixed a bug where combat could cause Fatigue loops where the game continually running it without
  removing the characters from play due to the fatigue.

  page for more information on these spells.

  10 * degenerations.
- Changed the amount of sin that councils/ex-valars received for using the spells "Oust" and "Curse" from 0.0
  sin to 0.5 sin and 1.0 sin respectively.

  loses his throne.
- Added a special attack for Centaur. He can now break swords, or reduce them with his kick. Beware.

- Changed the Scoreboard minimum level so now only level 60 and above go on it.
- Fixed a bug in King Dethrone where it would not properly dethrone you if you lost kingship because you

- Added new Chat Option so that Players on channel 8 can choose whether they wish to hear channel 1 or
  not.
- Morgoths Treasure Type has been changed to 9, to help councils get more gems and other useful stuff. This
  is also to fix the loophole where a valar could make an instant council. But those who did get to keep the
  characters they made from this.
- Gurus now give charms pending on the circle size that the character was out on, the farther you go the
  more you get. All classes but Thieves, Giants and Dwarves receive this.
- Changed it so that Wizards no longer receive whispers from anyone.
- Made it so Cerberus is now scared of Thieves and now runs from battle from a Thief when it gets the
  chance.
- Fixed loophole where if you closed applet in cracks while in battle it would only increase the treasure size
  and not the monster size. This has been fixed and now the monster stats are rerolled once you come back
  into Purgatory.
- Fixed bug where when a valar summoned a monster it said "Hurls a Modnar" instead of "Hurls a Morgoth"
  to the receiving player.
- Thieves now start off with the ability to Cloak.
- Removed the ability to All or Nothing a mimic. This closes a loophole where the valar easily got huge levels
  made. Yet for those who gained from this loophole nothing is done for it seemed like part of the game and
  was done on Phantasia 4 a lot as well.
- Incorporated whisper and made it so that muted players cannot whisper messages. Also whisper has been
  modified a bit after it was released and now it says the sender's name in front of the messenger.
- Made dud bolts less often and also less deadly. Dud bolts now do 50-99% as much damage as normal
  ones, and also a super bolt has been added where the damage done is 101 - 250% and also a mana
  return. If one occurs to you which is about one in a few hundred bolts when you are a low level you will get
  a message, telling you if you messed up the incantation or if you drew on your magic to cast a super bolt.
- Fixed bug where Jabberwocks were summoning Owlbears and Bears as friends instead of Jub-Jub birds and
  Bandersnatchs.
- Removed the ability to teleport The Dark Lord. This is to cover for a loophole where you could just teleport
  The Dark Lord without fail, and get its treasure.
- New death event, called Spontaneous combustion, so do not mess with the wizards or you may find
  yourself on fire.
- New change where if the game crashes, it will have saved all of the character's information.
- Fixed bug where whenever Cerberus was called, it instead called a Modnar. Part of the problem with the
  new monsters.
- Added Charms to the 2500, 2500 post so now they can be bought for 2000 gp each there.
- Fixed bug where Gnolls were smurfing characters. Part of the problem with the new monsters.
- Changed Charm size usage for Dark Lord so now each race uses 0.5 charms per size for The Dark Lord.
  This was to prevent a loophole where giants only used 1 charm per 10 sizes to kill a Dark Lord.
- Rearranged the buttons of the post so only if you are on the 2500 post, Leave is on the 4th button.
- Valars now die of old age at level 15000.
- Added 4 new monsters. Scorpion, Cricket, Bear and Centaur. The Centaur idea was given to me by
  masterfrodo.
- Changed scoreboard stats so that characters under lvl 100 only last for 30 days. This value used to be
  characters under lvl 1000 lasted for 30 days on scoreboard. Anything higher than 100 now stays on the
  scoreboard permanently.
- Swords power has been increased from 4% strength to 6% strength.
- A degenerate now occurs every 900 age instead of 750 age.
- The greed change which was to allow people to drop all their gold and gems if they meet a monster before
  going into battle with 0 speed cause of greed now works.

  the second they got it.
- Fixed a bug where if you had no staff and went to 0, 0 it would crash game.
- Fixed a bug where when stewards bestowed to a character the character would always get teleported if it
  evaded until it logged off and came back. Now instead as soon as you get bestowed to the character gets
  saved and quits game.
- Stewards can be steward up to level 500 and a player can gain up to 5 staffs in their inventory at one time.
- Characters may now purchase gems at 5000 gp a piece from the Plateau of Gorgoroth's post.

  game by sending experimentos to 0,0.
- Merchants no longer teleport you when they cheat you.
- After a couple of complaints, Treebeard is now changed from the Owl back to Ent.
- Dwarfs now get the message to pick up gold instead of stoop down to pick up gold.
- Another class has been released. The Giant Class which the idea was given to me by Gildor. This new class
  is a super fighter but is super stupid at brains and magic.
- The marshes restriction has been lifted for teleport, and the Chat Options bar will soon work properly.
- New class called Thief, they have tax immunity but they risk more of a chance of getting busted earlier on
