Posted Problem Action 1/31/98 Poison affects you even if the poisonous bite fails, causing poison snakes to be a lot more dangerous than they should be Under investigation 1/30/98 "Invisible monster" attacks you but you cannot see it and/or attack it Under investigation 1/30/98 Part of the screen is cut off in 640x480 resolution Under investigation; problem can be corrected by resizing the window or changing the resolution 1/30/98 Client gives system error message on quit Under investigation; does not seem to cause any damage though 1/30/98 Client lags Under investigation; clearing the browser cache helps 1/30/98 Server instability due to characters getting locked up We ran several sessions on the server to reproduce the error.  We found and fixed three lock-up errors, but it still happens.  We will repeat the sessions until the problem is eliminated. 1/29/98 Defensive spells can be cast unlimited times, allowing gaining experience fast Fixed.  Now you can cast it only once 1/29/98 Unused experience levels can be used to accumulate extra experience Fixed. 1/29/98 Experience is awarded even if 0 damage is done Fixed 1/29/98 Experience gaining is not balanced well We made some fixes to the experience calculation; however this area is expected to undergo several adjustments in the future.  We can only see the problems as we go and get feedback from players. 1/23/98 Parties fighting groups of monsters sometimes get locked up,  causing the server to slow down and to be restarted Still happens, hopefully we can find and fix it during the lock-up hunting sessions 1/23/98 The server is lagged due to huge performance hits on the data server when people log in and out, create or change characters We now run the data server on a separate machine so data intensive operations do not affect players in the game 1/23/98 Skill assignment is non-intuitive for new players We added automatic skill assignment.  It should eliminate the original hassle but skill buttons still can be changed if necessary. 1/23/98 Text messaging to "All" can be inconvenient and cannot be turned off Now you can turn it off
