Huge update!

The long promised rebalance is live!

First things first - a warning: your weapon has been unequipped! This was a side-effect of the weapons being rebalanced. You can re-equip a weapon using the equipment menu as usual.

Here's a list of everything that's changed:

  • Monsters now have a level and power rating, and have been rebalanced.
  • New monsters!
  • Two new areas: The Tuffet and The Farm!
  • Areas now unlock, and more monsters appear in them, as you level up.
  • More weapons!
  • Weapons now have a level-based equip restriction...
  • ...which means the one-handed short sword has been nerfed.
  • Exp granted is now based on word score, rather than length.
  • A level cap of 10 has been introduced. This will be incremented gradually to 20 in future updates.
  • Damage formulas have been tweaked slightly.
  • New item icons and descriptions!
  • Chat system has been tweaked and should be more responsive.
  • Support for medals: you cannot aquire any yet, but hang on to all those bits and guts.
  • The drop rate on the Hipster Goblin's Music Player has been nerfed adjusted.
  • Account creation / log in bug has been fixed.
  • Infrequent (but annoying) "combat state is corrupted" bug has been fixed.
  • Additions and fixes to the stylesheet and HTML header should mean better support across all browsers.
  • Various behind-the-scenes database stuff you don't care about.

So, enjoy all that. If you find any bugs or problems, please leave a comment here, or e-mail me from the contact link in the main menu. Thanks for playing!
