NOTE: THIS IS ALL A WORK IN PROGRESS! Abilities may be added, removed, tweaked, and so on. In cases of extreme changes, ability resets may be offered. I'm essentially having the players serve as testers for this, so be prepared for changes or alterations. There are now some combat abilities availabl...

Reports have been coming in of bizarre tall mushrooms growing in areas suffering from deeply-rooted resen infestation. These fungal structures are reported to emit steam and warmth, allowing local infested creatures to continue roaming outdoors even during the cold seasons rather than seeking shelte...

perhaps we could get message board objects in certain guild areas for communication within those guilds? I've taken a guess at which place you meant and placed a post board there. Most, if not all, guilds should have a post board in their major hubs so if anyone knows of any other major guild areas...

There will be a maintenance outage tonight (11/06/2024) from approximately 23:00 MST to 03:00 MST the next morning (4 hours total). Get some extra sleep or go grind some skills in the real world during that time!

Some familiar names have re-appeared on the roster! - Jirato (Technical GM) - Mirazia (Event GM) - Uyoku (Event GM) - Velrath (Event GM) As always, a current roster can be viewed in-game at any time by entering the GM or GURU commands. I'll also take this opportunity to mention that CLOK staff don't...

Per today's changelogs: - Mounts can now be purchased at the Shadgard stableyard. - A stableyard has been added to the Corvus Outpost where mounts can be purchased and empty carts can be stored. - There is now a limit to how many mounts a character can purchase (2 at this time). This limit may poten...

While fixing some old containers, I noticed there were a bunch of Tse Gaiyan notes in a certain wooden box. Looked like reports and such by PC field agents, which was pretty cool. Thought I'd let you folks know those have been restored!

In the wiki article for Undm, it says that she is a Serafim, the highest order of Serafina's Aengels. (Important to note that this is specifically in the Viali belief section of the Undm document.) This is in the context of Serafina, in the Viali belief, heading up an effort among Immortals. She's ...

I thought it would be good to make some clarifications on unclear or misunderstood things that come up fairly frequently, or particularly some understandable uncertainties given the current circumstances of reviving the game and making it work with the newer codebase. Some of this is technical stuff...

I woke up to some recent chat backlog showing a fair number of frownie faces and sad or resigned messages about peoples' legacy bows not examining as the quality their short descriptions showed, but no bug reports about it - as if this were somehow expected to be intended behavior. It's not! If you ...

We've got an updated article on thaumaturgy! You can see it by clicking here for the wiki article or by typing "help thaumaturgy" in-game. I thought it'd be good to get some more info and clarification out there on one of our most misunderstood and controversial occult channeling disciplin...

A new little shop, Back in the Ground, has been set up in a plain canvas tent in the southwest corner of the festival grounds. They're selling iron ammo of various kinds and some gun sheaths, with optional imprints available. Why is the festival not charmseeking friendly! I can see a festival loving...

No, we'll just reduce stacks of them down to 1. Feel free to keep whichever ones you want for study or RP or curio collection or whatever other purposes! I just didn't want people to fall into the Consumable Item Trap of "well maybe I'll save them for use another year, I might need them later.&...

Per the in-game announcements on ESP and the town board: "The folks at the Octum Festival would like to announce that a humble shrine to the Pumpkin King has been set up just inside the entrance! The shrine has been lovingly set up by Hrulna, a shepherd in service to the Pumpkin King, and there...

Yes, this is the plan! And I think it'll sit a lot better than metalsmiths just making and selling the same thing to the market all day every day. It gives more direction, kind of like those combat tasks (that will be revived soon(tm)) that send you to a specific place to fight specific things. Make...

It might be good for the syntax to be MAIL <ITEM> TO <NAME/BOX> so you have to specify the item, instead of it just grabbing whatever's in your right hand. The right-hand-assumption thing is a pretty old way of doing things from early CLOK that has been phased out in may cases, so we may as well do ...

It'd be neat if they could be used as currency at a special merchant at the fairgrounds, in which you could turn x-amount of them in for a random piece of treasure from the generic Loot Tables, or from a special Cloktum-themed Loot Table. This is actually a pretty spiffy idea! I'll see if I can com...

Legacy tattoos were recently imported, so anyone who had one before should have it again! Fasa being offered tattoos via an automated system for their tribe (for those who don't have one already) is on the list, but not a top priority at the moment.

Updates! Legacy costumes should now work for charmseeking and should now all be worn in the costume inventory slot. (Though I might have some of the goofier ones have a chance for residents to view them as not respecting the tradition's lore and refuse to hand out a charm as a result.) When sitting/...

P.S. The low-effort budget bedsheet ghost costumes won't exactly impress anyone when you're out charmseeking, and may reduce your luck a bit when it comes to what kinds of items you receive. Penny-pinchers be warned! Other than that though, costume prices don't affect charmseeking luck. Get whicheve...

Octum is nearly upon us! WoooOOooOOoooOOooo! For anyone not already aware of what this means, here is what to know, expect, and be ready for ... ========== - General Octum lore can be found by typing HELP OCTUM in-game or checking the wiki article under the same name . - The roads will be occupied b...

Per the title/changelog: Mobs will no longer immediately freeze when an area is empty of PCs, instead continuing to do their thing for a short while after the area has become considered empty. This should have a number of beneficial results, including: - Agitated mobs will have time to calm down whe...

Right, I don't expect anyone to know the details of new areas beforehand (even if they're recycled such as in this case), I was just responding to your (Artus') suggestion that it be made like it was in COGG and clarifying that it is already that way, there's just a specific-case issue with mobs pot...

That's the agitation system I mentioned, Artus. It and the Valeria phantoms are the same here as they were on COGG. I believe the issue is that the mobs aren't de-agitating when an area "freezes" from no PCs being around, so if the area becomes empty of PCs when a phantom is currently agit...

I can understand the initial concern when first encountering the place and looking around. The phantoms are meant to be more about flavor than posing a significant threat, but still problematic enough to discourage people from doing something goofy like ... hosting a social gathering in the ruins of...
