Patch 28: Dec 18th 2012 Holiday Event, PvM Tracking System

• Player Versus Monster Tracking
  • This is a custom designed system for the Renaissance server that will allow players to track how many of each type of monster they have killed
  • Each time a monster is killed, if you do the most damage to it, it is logged for addition to your player profile.
  • Controlled, Summoned and Barding Damage count when calculating who got credit for a kill.
  • Once a day your player profile will update with any monsters you have killed.
  • A summary will be shown on the base page of your player profile with kills by type. Example Player Profile
  • An additional page is in development that will list how many of every creature of Britannia that you have killed.
  • Can you be the first to kill 1000 Mongbats, 10000? Only time will tell!
  • Incorporated this system into our myRunUo Status updates using an inventive method that generates zero additional server stress or storage.

• Character Creation

  • Replaced it with a new system starting with 6 base stable slots, and a bonus 4 slots for being a 3x gm.
• Tailoring
  • Made a minor change to the difficulty of crafting bone armor items as they were added when 120 max skills were available.
  • This resulted in a above average difficulty on these items as they were scaled for 120 skill.
• To Celebrate the Holidays the world has been switched to the fall look.
