Updates/9.5

Update 9.5 (Spring Patch 2012) was implemented on April 3, 2012 at 16:00 CEST. .

Quirefang

 * The Deepling and Hive world changes are now separated from each other. If players fulfill the required conditions they can advance both on the hive side and the deepling side. In addition, the status of both world changes is now graphically represented on Gray Beach.
 * New elite opponents now strengthen the underwater troops of the deepling race. Also, the Hive Born have bred six bosses. These bosses spawn in a new room when The Hive is in the last stage of the world change. For killing the bosses you will receive war exp (needed to obtain the Insectoid Outfits).

Paw and Fur Society tasks

 * More bosses were added so that every task of the last two level ranges, level 80 – 129, and level 130 plus, now have its own boss, for example the mutated bat boss Bruise Payne, or Fazzrah, the boss of the high class lizzards.
 * A couple of creatures and bosses you have to face in the Paw and Fur Society tasks have been strengthened and their loot improved a bit.
 * Players who die in the special task boss areas (Demodras, Tiquandas Revenge) may now reattempt the task.
 * Badgers now receive larger spawns around Svargrond.
 * The reward for the 6666 demon task (Demon Oak Quest) was adjusted to replace The Inquisition Quest rewards with unique rewards for this quest. Players who have already completed this task may exchange their reward for another (just once).
 * The quest log now displays the amount of task points obtained.
 * The "" achievement was renamed and a new achievement for all Paw and Fur society bosses including the new ones were introduced.

Creature and loot adjustments

 * The following creatures have had loot adjustments officially mentioned: Juggernaut, Blightwalker, Lost Soul, Defiler.
 * Player and creature summons no longer have corpses. Consequently they do not appear in the server log.
 * Askarak Demons and Shaburak Demons had their defense and melee attacks heightened.

Events

 * Horestis' tomb is no longer empty if the world change is in its first stage. Creatures now spawn there to defend the reign of Horestis.
 * Players now get an additional reward by successfully finishing the A Pirate's Death to Me World Task.
 * The Easter event was replaced by the brand new event Spring into Life. The event will start on April 16. (colored eggs, part of the Easter event, can still be looted from rabbits and can still be bought from stores).

Anti-kick feature
In the case of disconnection from server, players now have a greater chance of survival.
 * Characters log off after a shorter period of time depending on vocation: a knight (or characters of no vocation) will log off after 60 seconds, a paladin 50 and a druid/sorcerer 40. Before, it was 60 seconds for all vocations.
 * Characters are now ignored by creatures for 30 seconds upon the time the server recognizes the client has lost connection. This leaves less time a character is vulnerable: 30 seconds (knight), 20 seconds (paladin) or 10 seconds (druid/sorcerer). Note that this is invisibility, not invincibility - area attacks will affect the player still.
 * All players now gain 10 second invisibility to creatures upon login, but as soon as the player has moved or attacked, creatures will again see the character.
 * A status icon is now displayed if your connection to the server appears to be laggy.

Mechanics

 * Quest doors have been adjusted to prevent trapping: instead of using the door to enter, you may pass through a player inside a quest door provided you meet the requirements to do so.
