The Ambitious To-Do List
These are the things that are MY radar. These
can and will change in both priority and scope.
Plus, I am ADHD as hell so who know really
knows where any of this could go. Also I get
busy and sometimes I play a lot of FIFA and work
on other games and work on my house or…HEY
LOOK A SQUIRREL!!!
“Fix” or “Broke”
Classes that will see Improvements

Shadowmage
Ranger
Crusader
Nightshade
Battlemage
Bandit
What improvements? Let’s talk about that for a
moment.
Dragons
• They need to stand on their own better, but
not necessarily be better when grouped with
other morts.
• This may take the form of MUCH better breath
AREA attacks, although breath attacks will use
a CHAMBER type stat line so they are used
sparingly.
Holy Remorts
• They will receive some changes to make them
more competitive.
• I don’t like to discuss holy remort specifics, so
let’s not discuss this in public. But if you play
one and have thoughts, please email me.
scorn@dsl-mud.org
PK
• Hall of Costs mobs will lose aggressiveness,
but will remain so as to alert others of when
people enter those rooms.
• More limited areas will enter the game,
although access will to be as easy as the Hall
of Cost portal.
Stat Changes
• STR – Improves melee damage.
• INT – Improves magic damage & casting
ability.
• WIS – Improves magic damage resistance and
natural saves.
• DEX – Improves Dodge and ability to land
melee hits.
• CON – Reduces melee damage and improves
chance to save against all stuns.
Stat Changes
• This will begin in late August, probably starting
with Wisdom.
• We will NOT pause for ACFL or any other
competitive season as we make adjustments
to the stat lines.
• When it is complete, a free PKP respect will be
made available.
Kingdom Wars
• Opens August 31 (or earlier)
Kwars Notes
• ANYONE can have a personal army, without
permission from anyone else.
• The world map is divided up into RISK type
territories, which will require that you ONLY attack
areas connected to each other by sea or land.
• Politics and RP will end up being as important as
army size.
• Some zones will have certain advantages or
disadvantages.
Main Storyline Quest
• The shards quest will wrap up and be finalized
by the end of the year.
• 7 shards have been found, 4 by GOOD (4 in
row) and 3 by evil.
• Evil only needs 1 more, good needs 4 more.
• When this concludes, the God War storyline
continues.
