Auction house, mail and three new races

Trade with other players at any vendor, collect your sales by mail, and play as a Human Male, Bloblic or Amphibious.

Auction house and mail

  • Every vendor has a Market tab now. Put your items up for other players, browse what they sell, and buy. A small deposit is held while your listing is up, and you get it back when it sells. Selling needs level 5 or an account older than a day.
  • The Mail tab at any vendor holds the credits from your sales, items that did not sell, and anything you bought with a full bag.

New races

  • Human Male is playable, with his own weapons, armour and voice.
  • Bloblic and Amphibious are playable too. No armour for them yet.

Combat

  • Ranged creatures stop, call out and glow before they shoot, and Stount shots are slower. You can see them coming and step aside.
  • Racial resistances now count on every hit.
  • You cannot draw a gun above your skill, and the game tells you why.
  • Every gun uses the same crosshair again.

Other

  • You sign in on oraclerium.com now.
  • General and Local chat share one tab.
  • Reconnecting after a server restart works again.
  • If the game crashes, the launcher tells you and lets you send me the report if you want to. Nothing is sent unless you choose to.
  • New database under the hood. Every trade is checked and recorded.

A note on the shop window

I know the shop, market and mail windows look rough right now. They work, but that is about all. I am giving them a big pass soon.
