Note 976 titled 'The Order of Lost Knights (Revelation, Sun Sep 12 18:03:26
2021):
Unbeknownst to most, a small group of the Knights of Erah escaped the
devastation that Banu brought upon the Village of Erah. Some adventurers
allege to have discovered their new home that they established just south
of the old village. The elder knights dedicated their lives to training
generations of new Knights, instilling the same code of honor that was
passed on to them from their ancestors. The knights uphold a strict code of
conduct and commitment to rebuilding their society through hard work and
focus on their missions.
If you're up for some missions and exploring with a side of combat and
puzzles, search the southern side of the Village of Erah.
Once again, I extend a huge thank you to the PRB members for all their time
to help get the area ready to play. Extra special thanks to Esper (our
newest member) for holding the record in bug/typo reports! :)

Note 975 titled 'Botting, and you. (Turnhold, Tue Aug 17 16:51:53 2021):
In case you have not noticed lately, we have been cracking
down on botting. The rules have not changed in the past
two years, but it seems people STILL cannot come to grips
with the "be present when you play" mentality.
We have relaxed the rules over the years, to a point where
people have developed awesome pieces of code/scripting,
and are still present when they play. Some people use
other peoples setups, without understanding how/why they
work.
Here is a refresher of the rules:
1) Set a Deadman. - If a Wizard botchecks you, you usually
have about 15 minutes before you're in trouble. If you
cannot be bothered to look at a game you're "playing"
every 15 minutes or so, why are you here?
2) Answer Botchecks. - If you are getting messages from a
Wizard, please answer them. Even if it's nothing but a
"Yeah, I'm here, please no smite." If we are sending
messages, that means you are on our radar.
3) Know the rules. - "help rules" exists for a reason.
Know them.
The punishments for botting have varied over the years, but are
now being structured. There is a progression to the punishments,
ranging from:
1) Warning - Hey, your bot is bad. Fix it. Please stop botting.
2) Deaths - Hey, here's some deaths, and some Jailtime!
3) Removal from your Guild - Removed from your guild, and banned
from re-joining it.
4) Deletion of your character.
Please, follow the rules, be a decent person, and enjoy the game.
Wizards do not like having to spend what time we have here policing
players for not following simple rules.

What's going on with the Auction House? <ahlist>
- You may have noticed some really impressive items up for a very good price. This is a new approach to making rare items more accessible to those that would like to use the eternal power (duplicate item. These items can be spotted by listings specifically set at a bid of 10 and buyout of 11 coins. They are meant to be purchased, duplicated and then the original item relisted for the same 10/11 price for the next person. So far this has made life easier for those sharing and duplicating, so if you happen to see these listings, please only purchase them if you intend to duplicate and relist!
Side Note: Nobody is perfect, and the system will reflect that. If one of these auctions appears erroneous, help get things back on track. If you see an item traditionally reserved for sharing but with a slightly skewed price, it's better to assume it is not something selling for a too good to be true price. The more people we have respecting and helping this process, the better it will be for all.
