Just to let you know how much we have been working on the new server lately, here are some changes that have been made.

• There is now a slight delay before vendors call guards. They also have to be in LOS to call guards (doesnt apply if players call guards). They won't hit you a million times anymore and if you are lucky you can run away for quite a bit when they come.
  

• Basecreatures no longer have a hit delay meaning you can't get hurt 10 tiles away anymore.
  

• Removed the old command .showarrivemessage (.sam)
  

• Added a new command .DisplayLocation (.DL). When enabled you can use .ShowPlayers or .SP to get a list of the players with .DL enabled and their location/coordinates.
  

• Added support for client 7
  

• Various bugs fixed
  

• Enabled SE and ML artwork. You can now choose from more items when creating custom houses.
  

• Enabled the character transfer script again, this time without crashes. Everyone who played on the latest XUO version or IN:R will be able to import their chars by using the command .importcharacter
  

• Added house decay if you have more than 2 houses (statics not included). Decay period is 30 days and to refresh you or a friend of the house simply have to open your doors or the house sign. Your first 2 houses never decays. Single click or double click the house sign to see if it decays and/or how new the house is.
  

• Server will now auto restart if it crashes
  

Feel free to discuss, nothing is set in stone.

Great update, what will happen when a house decays? all items removed ?

[imported_Shade]

All items drop to the ground until they decay. These items are subject to the same decay timer that any other item is when dropped.

I still think that all house's should decay for the first 30 days. EVEN your first 2 house's. There are a ton of house's out there that people own that don't play anymore and there is no reason why they should stay and take up space on the server when they will never be used.. Let them decay and then implement the update that the first 2 house's don't decay.

Looking forward to kill that Fire Spirit

[imported_Shade]

He looks forward to killing you more

[imported_Hiroshima]

Is it going to be something like the Water Spirit? I mean, drops alike?

[imported_Shade]

The intention was for him to be like the water spirit... but I got a little carried away this time.
