Version 1.22.39.55 – Release
2010-08-23
Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.
------ ADDITIONS & CHANGES ------
General:
- Rebuilt the stat-loss for reds, it now works like this:
When you kill a blue player, you receive +1 to your long-term and short-term counts.
The long-term timer decides if you are Red or not.
The long-term timer is on a 8 hours / count timer.
Going above 5 long-term counts flags you Red.
The short-term decides if you will receive stat loss or not.
The short-term timer is on a 4 hours / count timer.
Going above 5 short-term counts will cause you to loose stats when you resurrect. (10% stat loss as always)
Each time you kill another blue player you will receive another count and the timers will reset.
- "/statlosscount" or "/statloss" in the chat will show you your current stat-loss time.
- You will now lose a murder count every 8th hour.
- Remade a lot of the GUI-stuns into cool downs meaning they no longer cause full-stun.

See the best doors on EvE-on!
They would have to ask the fan who made the updater for them..but because that fan disbanded the game they are stuck with that one and cant do another one..
Don't know what you're on about... Paratus is still around and updates the patcher on a regular basis.
Then say me why it takes more then 10 mins to install a patch who is only 10 mbs small?
Dunno never experienced such crapstatic patcher.

You're either exaggerating, or your computer is crap. It took me less than 3 minutes for the entire patch process, including the download.
Regarding Besttheiswow's comment, it was either a lie, or just simple ignorance, as Thorppes pointed out, Paratus is still around.

I'm no computer expert, sorry mate.
Patch seems good enough though, some nice new mobs to kill.
very nice patch ty SV
Great patch! The new mount is really cool. Here is a picture of it with armor added to it:

Thanks for posting the pic. I haven't seen one of these live yet in the game.
Very cool mount. The armor looks pretty good, though I still like the looks of the horse armor a bit better. Also, I haven't seen one of the beasts in action in-game yet, but the legs look a little "stiff" in the screenshots so far, if you know what I mean. Of course, it's a still picture, so it probably looks better in motion.

They really are improving the game alot, patches seems to be very frequent. I'd almost like them to slow down frequency of the patches so they can do abit more thorough testing before releasing them, cause it seems like almost every patch breaks something. Oh well, im not playing anyway, but i probably will in a couple of months.
probably best resolution

Wow, another nice picture! I really like that armor in red.
To Lille7: I agree that the game is getting better. They probably could stand to slow down a bit to ensure that each patch is as good as they can make it, but overall the game has been improving. As long as they keep going in their current direction, the game will keep getting better and better as a fantasy sandbox MMO.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
GREAT picture!
I love that red armor! Can't wait to see them in motion!
All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)

No offense intended but it would have been helpful if you had given a more complete description in the first place. The patcher works perfectly fine if you are only downloading the most recent patch. On the other hand it is a painfully long process if you are downloading and applying all the patches (Had to do that myself due to a corrupted installation and it did take several hours) It would be helpful if they consolidated some of it, such that you download a more recent build of the client and only apply the more recent patches, but they probably won't do that as long as they are coming out with a new patch every week.
P.S. the corrupted client happened after taking apart my computer, reassembling it, and changing out the video card, so I suspect it had to do with changes in the hardware not faulty programming.
P.P.S. sorry about Rohn's harsh response. It's just that we get used to people attacking MO
OH and have fun in Nave
Lol at the game is getting better, they have added some new stuff yes but have broken 2 times the amount of shit that they have fixed, cant use vendors without crashing now, whisper no longer works e.t.c , e.t.c this game looks as tho it is heading in the right direction with new stuff being added but i could careless for that right now, i want a game that works properly and then maybe we might actually get some players back....maybe
Still the best mmorpg on the market when compared to all that crap floating around.

See this thread for MAXIMUM DETAILED graphics of the animals. They're simply stunning. So pretty.
As of the hotfix today, the vendors no longer crash the client. Long-range whispering was never supposed to be in the game in the first place, so it was removed.
The game is getting better.
