A couple notes about the Abandoned Farm area: - The farming tools the scarecrows wield aren't very effective weapons, so this is a pretty safe place to hunt. - If you end up needing to rest and don't want to hike back to town, you can rest safely in the barn loft. The scarecrows won't climb up there...

Rithiel, you reported a bug where you got disconnected when attacking with your longbow. Did you have anything else in your hands at the moment? You mean you used ATTACK and not FIRE, correct? I can't seem to reproduce this bug. I've fired and attacked with a longbow in my left and right hand, inclu...

When pressed, you'll be pressed for the same amount of time as the press attack. So if the critter's Press attack on you gives them 5 seconds of roundtime, you'll be pressed for 5 seconds. Considering the speediness of the computer, I can see how they'd attack again in the instant they're out of rou...

A shortbow has been added to the shop, which can fire more quickly than the longbow and causes less fatigue per shot.

The longbow's damage has been boosted a bit.

There was only one mob, and it managed to close the distance between us after I got only one arrow off, and then I couldn't change back to ranged. I'd chalk that up to bad luck. The attacker has a chance to get lucky and close distance on the first attack, just as you have the chance to get lucky a...

What about archery do you not like? Do you have any suggestions to improve it?

That makes sense. I'll toss in up and down directions, and just hope they get used appropriately.

Have some urgent news to tell someone, but they're not in the lands at the moment? Need to send an item to a friend? Got a clever insult in mind, but your intended target is nowhere to be found? The United Postal Service of Erenor can help you with all these things. Simply head to the Shadgard Town ...

Tired of practicing combat against that poor, abused target dummy in the Commons? There are now a few areas to be found out in the wilderness that spawn critters for you to test your mettle against in physical combat. If you're concerned about getting killed, don't worry too much - while death will ...

Wilderness travel has been implemented. The idea is that the world is split into two types of areas: Explorable areas and Wilderness areas. Explorable areas will have more detailed descriptions, props, critters, NPCs and so forth, and will be more interesting to, well ... explore. Wilderness areas a...

The basics of archery have been completed! Stop by Alanna's Archery Shop in the commons and grab yourself a bow, some arrows and a quiver. To use a bow, hold the bow in hand and type FIRE [target], or just FIRE by itself to fire at the first hostile NPC in the room, if any are present. The FIRE verb...

Which client are you using when not all compass directions work in their abbreviated forms? They all work for me with TinTin++, MUSHClient and the java client. I tried them both with just the directions (sw, s, ne) as well as preceeded with "go" (go sw, go s, go ne). What messaging are you...

Now is the time for people to make requests and suggestions for game features! Do it now, before the game code gets too antiquated and GMs fear delving into it and altering it.

The procedure we'd like folks to follow for bug reporting is: A) Use the BUG verb in-game. The syntax is: bug [bug info] For example: bug Yesterday I could go through the door in this room to get to a shop, but today the door seems to have disappeared. The BUG verb will report the name of the charac...

I've noticed a few people pop by every now and then, so I figured I'd make a welcome post. Welcome to CLOK. It's still in the alpha stages, but it's coming along. Unfortunately, this means not all features and systems are fully functioning yet. On the positive side, this means player input and sugge...
