Tonight, some changes to sharing Empathic Shock have gone live. Most of them are things you wouldn't notice as players, but a few of them you might. For one thing, the amount of shock that a given empath can transfer from a shocked empath has been capped. The cap is quite high, because sharing shock should be something that is done only after careful thought and consideration of the consequences, but at least there IS a cap now, where before there wasn't.

Other things you may notice: When a player didn't actually have active shock but only a scar, you could go through all the trauma of sharing and then discover that you hadn't, in fact, transferred anything because they didn't still have active shock. That's been fixed. There are also now some temporary physical and/or spiritual consequences to the sharing.

As always, let me know if you spot anything odd.
