Guild Transfer Commands
September 10, 2009
===================================

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

 - The /freexfer command is now available to all players on Pendragon.

Trishy in Camelot
Brohd in Jordheim

Character transfers with the /freexfer command

The /freexfer command allows you to transfer a character from the current server to another.  Your house is repossessed in the process and its contents are available via the repossession merchants in the housing market on the destination server.  The house deed, porch deed, a stipend for a new housing lot, and any money from your consignment merchant or house lockbox will also be available from the repossession merchants there.

Players can use the "/freexfer" command without argument to request a list of eligible destination servers.  "/freexfer" followed by a server name transfers the current character to the specified destination server.

After issuing the command, you are instructed to log off so that the transfer can take place. Once logged off, you will receive an email notifying you of the status of your transfer.

If your name was already taken on the destination server, the email will inform you of the place-holder name being used for the transfer.  When you first log in with the character on the destination server, you will be prompted to choose a new name for your character before fully entering the game.
 

For guild leaders

Guild leaders who would like to move their guild to a new server have two tools to help with that: “/gc packhouse” and “/gc transfer”.  These will enable a player to take certain aspects of their guild with them when using /freexfer.

“/gc packhouse” allows a rank 0 member of a guild who does not already have a house to transfer ownership of the guild house to themselves in order that it can be transferred with the /freexfer command.  Consignment merchants and items on a hookpoint inside the house such as merchants, bindstones, vaults, and tradeskill tools will need to be picked up before the guild house can be packed.

“/gc transfer” disbands the guild and transfers guild information onto the rank 0 member of the guild who ran the command.  It allows you to store the guild realm points, bounty points, and merit points on your character during the /freexfer.  In order to unpack a guild on the destination server, the character that packed the guild data must be the leader of the group that is forming the new guild. The guild name will not be saved - you will need to form the new guild in the exact same way that the old one was formed. When the new guild is formed, the Realm Points, Bounty Points, and Merit Points information will be pulled from the character and applied to the new guild instantly.

At the time of this writing, the “/gc packhouse” and “/gc transfer” commands are only available to the Knights.  We will makes these commands available to all players as soon as we’re done with internal testing.

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

 - Necromancer pets now keep up with the caster when the Necromancer uses a boat.
 - Poisonspike now works on Necromancer pets.

Necromancers, Realm Rank Abilities, and Atlantean Glass
September 9, 2009
========================================

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Version 1.99!  As many of you know, much if the game play in Dark Age of Camelot is driven by RvR, and a solid RvR game play experience is dependent on a large population.  While the population of our Devon cluster has remained healthy, the population of our Killibury and Bossiney clusters have fluctuated, which can make good RvR difficult to find.  To address that issue, Version 1.99 introduces the ability for Devon, Killibury, and Bossiney characters, as well as their houses, guild data, and guild houses, to transfer over to our brand new server called Ywain.  It is our wish that these three communities come together at last and have some great times out in RvR!
In addition to the character transfers, our summer intern, Aubrey Gress, worked extremely hard to fix many outstanding bugs, particularly ones involving Realm Rank 5 abilities, Necromancers, and combat, in general.  Aubrey finished his internship with us on Friday, so we give him our thanks and wish him well!
