A bit over a month ago I assisted regarding the fact that group spells were not functioning for F2P players. (i have tested 419 and 911, though I imagine 611 may be similar - and it'd be worth looking in to spells like 310/307/1007/1006/etc)

This is NOT regarding the fact that F2P players cannot cast group spells on other players as regular accounts can, rather than they cannot even cast them on themselves. Example:

>incant 911
You trace a series of glowing runes while chanting the phrase for Mass Blur...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture.
Your form blurs.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
>spell active

You currently have the following active spells:
Elemental Defense I ................ 1:57:46
Elemental Defense II ............... 1:57:49
Elemental Defense III .............. 1:13:28
Elemental Targeting ................ 1:13:31
Thurfel's Ward ..................... 1:16:00
Elemental Deflection ............... 1:16:03
Elemental Bias ..................... 1:16:06
Strength ........................... 1:18:12
Elemental Focus .................... 1:18:16
Stone Skin ......................... 1:44:02
Prismatic Guard .................... 1:38:19
Melgorehn's Aura ................... 1:40:00


Is there any plan to fix this in the somewhat near future?
The tenor of the response I got when I asked a staff member was that 'oh we'll let the guy who works on that know.'
That was some time ago.

Spells 419 and 611 are simply group versions of spells 414 and 601 in terms of effect. Spell 911 will be fixed at some point; upon checking just now, I see that it routes through a point in the code that wasn't fully updated for F2P. I believe that all other group spells should affect the caster normally, but post again if that turns out to not be the case.

>incant 419
You gesture and invoke the powers of the elements for the Mass Elemental Defense spell...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture.
A brilliant luminescence surrounds you.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
>spell active

You currently have the following active spells:
Elemental Defense I ................ 1:48:23
Elemental Defense II ............... 1:48:26
Elemental Targeting ................ 1:41:32
Thurfel's Ward ..................... 1:36:37
Elemental Deflection ............... 1:36:40
Elemental Bias ..................... 1:36:43
Strength ........................... 1:38:49
Elemental Focus .................... 1:38:53
Stone Skin ......................... 1:19:39
Prismatic Guard .................... 1:31:56
Melgorehn's Aura ................... 1:33:37


As you can see, this effects 419 as well.
I do not have characters of the other classes (ranger, bard, paladin, cleric) available to me to test the other spells and check them, all I can do is check wizard things.

I'm able to reproduce this, and I'm looking into it. I'll update you when it's fixed!
