He's currently to busy with his real-like PR job, but will remain on the team as a Public Relations Assistant so we won't lose his know-how.

In addition to We have started working on the grand prize, there foundation of a new tutorial and will be 19 other chests replacing the Golden Valley map that is currently live. Currently the project is still in its early stages, with planning and preperation being done before introducing the start townnew map. As Golden Valley is also the login server, each with migrating databases is a small item in them as consolation prizes little tricky, so anyone who manages due to get a key this we will simply be changing the map with all items and buildings remaining. We will get something, even if its not then have the current tutorial operating while we build the new tutorial behind the grand prizescenes.

One player may win more than one if lucky.* Should now be possible to convert to evil deities in HOTS template kingdoms.=== April ===* Champions are now limited to 3 per kingdom.* Artifacts will now drop upon death.* Artifact damage no longer stacks with enemy presence bonus, Truestrike, Hate path increased damage, Rod effect or Warrior deity bonus damage.* You no longer can teleport when carrying an artifact.* Artifacts now properly drop on ground during controlled restarts.* The Eye of Vynora now will detect through NoLocate spells.* Global PMs are now on as default when you create a new character.* The Elevation server is open with the new map.

Expect further tweaking as more feedback trickles in.* Meditation path change delay of 24 hours added* You can now turn walls!* Removed ability for animals to be lead by using a mooring rope (it was letting multiple animals to be lead by the same mooring rope)* The new wall types are live: Timber Jetty, Timber Balcony, Wooden Wide Window, Wooden Canopy Door, Plain Stone Oriel, Decorated Stone Oriel. Enjoy!* The poll for an Elevation Map reset has been finished, with the result of Yes [172 (68%)] versus No [78 (31%)].* Rumours have it that Vynora is focusing on some sort of research and will no longer partake in Valrei Missions like before. Vynora followers are expected to do Fo missions instead.* Merged Epic numbers in who lists as well as stats pages* Made local list premium only on Epic as a sort of spy prevention (already was implemented on Chaos)* Flattened some areas in the Elevation HOTA zone.
