Well of Life (308) Update

Author: GS4-OSCURO
Date: 6/11/2007 6:33:48 PM


Previously, when a Cleric cast Well of Life on either a live or dead target, they would receive an identical cooldown effect. The cooldowns have now been separated so now linking to corpses has no effect on the Cleric's ability to use Well of Life to transfer spirit and vice versa.

Additionally, the duration of the cooldown from transferring spirit used to rely heavily on a random component. This has been removed. The Well of Life cooldown for live targets is now solely based on the amount of spirit transferred.

Blackjack in Veythorne Manor

The Blackjack system has received a hefty overhaul, and those pesky dealers that insisted they won when they didn't (or refused to pay you your winnings either way) have been fired, dismembered, and/or sent to a demonic realm. Happy betting!

The deadline for this is tomorrow. So far, we have...

...one entry.

Are there more people planning to enter that just haven't sent their entries in yet or are we just not interested?
