During the R124 Livestream we announced that anyone buying a 10K COTO pack on our website Starting yesterday through the end of April 4th would get a bonus ultra rare item; the 2024 version of the Darkstar Metronome. The 2024 Darkstarr Metronome will not appear in the crown store or provided as...

Tomorrow Morning (March 28th at 8AM Central Time) we will be updating the game! The game server is taken offline at 8am CT, and I go live in our Official SotA Discord Events Channel playing music, providing updates, some trivia, and general goofiness along the way as we update the server. If...

The outage started circa 5am and lasted for 1.5 hours. During the outage, the game server remained up and running for players who remained in game, however player attempting to login received a message indicating the login server was not responding. The issue was due to an unscheduled update...
I agree with this. Will add this to the list of enhancements. Need to create the tech that will automatically send a server message. Posting a thread in announcements about the unplanned login outage.

Greetings and Salutations folks! It's been a bit since I've had the chance to reach out and post about stuff I'm working on! And there are a few things I'm working on that I need to wait for a bit before I can reveal the coolness! But lucky for me I just finished something that, though not...
Count me in, of course!!! I really can't wait to join you folks there! I hope there's enough "relatively local" folks who might be able to meet us there too! This is certainly one of those great, spontaneous things that just sort of cropped up due to good timing and the desire to get out and...
Greetings! We have deployed a patch to end the Deed upgrade and Crown Store sales as well as drain the fluorescent green water from New Britannia and replace it with what some would consider cleaner water. For full patch details, please see the R123 patch notes here:...

This is weird technical issue. Normally, each quest NPC has their own spawner, while randomized NPCs share spawners. These referees are both quest NPCs and randomized NPCs (male or female). The quest marker is placing a marking at the quest NPC's spawner and also on the quest NPC that's spawned....

We will be taking the login server and the Website/forums down between 4am and 5am CT to perform maintenance. This will only impact players who are not logged in at the start of the work. We expect the work to take up to an hour, but once the website/forums and login server are back up, there...
This is intentional. After you defeat the "boss wave" of a random encounter, a bounty hunter, ecology researcher, or pilgrim may appear. All of these NPCs can be attacked and killed by any enemies still lingering in the area, so it's wise to make sure they stay safe if you'd like to talk to them.

[QUOTE="Alley Oop, post: 1362899, member: 15071"]i'm pretty sure it gets put in your inventory after the boat whether you take it or not[/QUOTE] This is correct. We force it into everyone's inventory at the moment they leave the starter scene on their way to the outskirts.
I think we may already have some NPC comments about selling junk, but I'll look into adding it in more places, and also as the ambient barks that NPCs say when you're not in conversations. Issue #71954
I checked the collision for this big rock. Sometimes an object like this might have an alternate collision I can use, but it only has the one that isn't as detailed as the rock itself. It's possible that this large rock was probably intended to be used for cliffs and other places that players...

[USER=4589]@By Tor[/USER] , I'm a little confused. The post title says your "Love Virtue" increases after logging out, but your post details say your "Dexterity" has increased when you log in, and that you're doing quests to reduce "love (dexterity)." I think you're specifically reporting your...
I think this NPC does not have any quest, but I can't recall for sure. I'll take a look. If he doesn't have a quest, I'll update his responses so he stops making it seem like he does. Issue #71923
Interesting suggestion, but I'm very confident we'll never allow players to trade Courage Club coins (or any other quest reward) for COTOs. If you're looking for an alternative way to offload excess Courage Club coins, consider trading them to the Courage Club referee for commemorative versions...

Patch Pending ... Found the issue and corrected it. The issue was in the cake base. I re-did the collision and it should be good now. I've tested and it's green at initial placement and at all scale levels (.6 <-> 1.2)
Please try to scale the cake down a little and see if that allows it to be placed. We didn't run into this during testing, but we can adjust the collision and see if that helps a bit.
