5 June 2008 - Smoking Kills

**Firez** Fri Jun 06, 2008 7:54 pm

Someone new has moved to Pollnivneach
and, by some twist of fate, they are not called Ali! This strange new
neighbour is called Sumona, and she has lost something very valuable in
the depths of the Pollnivneach well. Mighty rewards are on offer for
anyone willing to return what she has misplaced.

Meanwhile, eery wails and vile stenches seem to be pervading the
streets. This may be unlucky for the Pollnivneach tourist trade, but at
least there is something in it for adventurous types. In fact, they may
be turned to one's advantage when dealing with the mixed bag of
unpleasantness beneath Pollnivneach...

With potentially epic, if unspecified, Slayer rewards on offer, this
is a venture best-suited to those who risk their lives for curiosity.
Let's hope that curiosity is better for them than it is for cats.

We have introduced two new worlds for those who prefer to chat, or be chatted to, with Quick Chat. The worlds are 160 and 161. Conventional chat may not be used on these worlds - they are for Quick Chat users only.

NOTE - We would like to remind players that we have absolutely NO
intention of removing free chat from the game, either now or in the
future. Quick Chat is designed to be an optional alternative to normal
chat.

Quick Chat users can now chat to their friends on FunOrb, and vice
versa. Simply select a friend from your Friends List and then choose
what you want to say from the 'General' and/or 'Inter-game' menus
within Quick Chat.

We have made efforts to stop the strange 'dancing' effect that
occurs when fighting monsters on the same square as you. You should
find that, instead of moving from side to side, you find a more
suitable position to attack the monster from.

Dragon square shields have been updated, thanks to observant players who noted that its two halves wouldn't make a square!
