Version 1.22.39.55 – Release
2010-08-23


Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.




------ ADDITIONS & CHANGES ------


General:
- Rebuilt the stat-loss for reds, it now works like this:
When you kill a blue player, you receive +1 to your long-term and short-term counts.

• The long-term timer decides if you are Red or not.
• The long-term timer is on a 8 hours / count timer.
• Going above 5 long-term counts flags you Red.
• The short-term decides if you will receive stat loss or not.
• The short-term timer is on a 4 hours / count timer.
• Going above 5 short-term counts will cause you to loose stats when you resurrect. (10% stat loss as always)

Each time you kill another blue player you will receive another count and the timers will reset.



- "/statlosscount" or "/statloss" in the chat will show you your current stat-loss time.
- You will now lose a murder count every 8th hour.

Don't know what you're on about... Paratus is still around and updates the patcher on a regular basis.

Dunno never experienced such crapstatic patcher.

You're either exaggerating, or your computer is crap.  It took me less than 3 minutes for the entire patch process, including the download.

Regarding Besttheiswow's comment, it was either a lie, or just simple ignorance, as Thorppes pointed out, Paratus is still around.

I'm no computer expert, sorry mate. =)

Patch seems good enough though, some nice new mobs to kill.

Thanks for posting the pic.  I haven't seen one of these live yet in the game.

Very cool mount.  The armor looks pretty good, though I still like the looks of the horse armor a bit better.  Also, I haven't seen one of the beasts in action in-game yet, but the legs look a little "stiff" in the screenshots so far, if you know what I mean.  Of course, it's a still picture, so it probably looks better in motion.

They really are improving the game alot, patches seems to be very frequent. I'd almost like them to slow down frequency of the patches so they can do abit more thorough testing before releasing them, cause it seems like almost every patch breaks something. Oh well, im not playing anyway, but i probably will in a couple of months.

probably best resolution

Wow, another nice picture!  I really like that armor in red.

To Lille7: I agree that the game is getting better.  They probably could stand to slow down a bit to ensure that each patch is as good as they can make it, but overall the game has been improving.  As long as they keep going in their current direction, the game will keep getting better and better as a fantasy sandbox MMO.

Before you insult. I bought MO yesterday and patched every shity patch which was there so it took me 2 days. And im not exaggerating. But thank you anyway for insulting dude.

 No offense intended but it would have been helpful if you had given a  more complete description in the first place.  The patcher works perfectly fine if you are only downloading the most recent patch.  On the other hand it is a painfully long process if you are downloading and applying all the patches (Had to do that myself due to a corrupted installation and it did take several hours)  It would be helpful if they consolidated some of it, such that you download a more recent build of the client and only apply the more recent patches, but they probably won't do that as long as they are coming out with a new patch every week.

P.S. the corrupted client happened after taking apart my computer, reassembling it, and changing out the video card, so I suspect it had to do with changes in the hardware not faulty programming.

P.P.S. sorry about Rohn's harsh response. It's just that we get used to people attacking MO

OH   and have fun in Nave

Still the best mmorpg on the market when compared to all that crap floating around.

As of the hotfix today, the vendors no longer crash the client.  Long-range whispering was never supposed to be in the game in the first place, so it was removed.

The game is getting better.
