Hello, folks!

As was announced at Simucon, we have a pretty beefy new server coming for DragonRealms. The onsite folks have been getting things copied over and ready for some stress testing in DR:Test. We're scheduling a session for *TONIGHT at 8PM Eastern* in DragonRealms Test. At the moment, the test instance has a dated copy, but they're working to get it sync'd up with Prime. It may be up and down a bit over the next couple of hours for that process.

Expect crazy invasions, expect to die (don't forget HEALME), and expect strange behavior. We'll be hitting Twitter and Facebook around testing time as well as some in-game announcements. If you can pop over for a while and hunt, check your vaults, die, depart, cast spells (particularly AOE) and basically anything else active (don't just stand around!), we'd appreciate it!

The more folks we can have over there testing out, the better chance we have to expose anything that may act strangely. Plat/TF characters are welcome, but you may need GM assistance to copy your character over.

Hope to see you around 8PM Eastern tonight!

Someone broke it!

Or they took it offline. If that's all it took to break it...

Splains why I couldn't log in.

Monster Elec

You hear the distant echo of a savage Horde snarling in barbaric disapproval of your deeds.

And gone again?

~Faih

We're back. Avoiding that thing that blew up for now.

Continue the fun!

Just for fun, here's the log of my moongate death loop:

> prep mg

>
Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.
That won't affect your current attunement very much.

You focus your sense of touch on the energies in the air while chanting the mantra for the Moongate spell.
>
> cast kata

You gesture.
A brief wave of disorientation washes outward as reality itself tears wide open, forming a rogue Moongate tinged with screaming, razor-edged shadows.
You are stunned!

S>
A voidspawn emerges from the screaming Moongate.

S>
S> S>
S>
Chatter[Yanbelev] you've been bein dead, an we've been makin fun of yer, so... I'd guess not?

S>
Sarkranis puts her medallion in her camlet pack.
S>
You feel fully rested.

S>
Aenk says, "It's probably like tier 932."
S>
S>
S>
S>
Binu asks, "Ooh, where's the bow?"
S>
S>
Binu grins at Aenk.
S>
S>
Jhustis shrills a low whistle.
S>
S>
S>
S>
The shimmering ethereal shield fades from around Yamott.
S>
You feel fully attuned to the mana streams again.

S>
The sun (Sur1) nears the far horizon as the clear blue sky deepens into a rich indigo.
S>
You hear a hungry squeaking sound coming from the direction of the pond!
S>
Binu begins to carefully examine a glaes and kertig-alloy katana capped with an ornate dragonfire amber pommel.
S>
S>
S>
S>
A wave of wild teleportational energy erupts from the screaming gate and washes over you! The assault is maliciously short of complete obliteration, granting you a few seconds of awareness as your body is torn apart.
Your death cry echoes in your brain as it quickly dawns on you that you have just died! Already, you feel the tug of eternity upon your soul and you struggle to remain tied to this world.

A chill takes the seat of your soul as your remaining spiritual strength bleeds away steadily. However, you are comforted that you have curried the favor of your god, which will greatly improve the course of your resurrection or reincarnation.

Your body will decay beyond its ability to hold your soul in 144 minutes.
