On the Moorgate market place Cosrin's site supervisor steps up, looks around and raises her hand to demand silence:

"Under the direction of Mages' Guildmaster Doc we have planned, designed and constructed the building of Mages' Guild Hall of Legendary Majik for the highest levels of mages to study and learn in. The brickwork is done so far. Necessary contracts for interior design have been signed, part of that work is already underway.

The Executive Suite has confirmed that the positions for tutors have been publicly advertised, and applicants for positions are currently interviewed. We will keep you posted."

The supervisor hands the speaking tube to a bulky stonemason who hesitantly steps up, coughs and clears his throat.

"Ahem, I'm here on behalf of all da stone cutters, masons, diggers, pitmen an' miners dat work under me direction in da underground areas of the Isle of Bequin. Fer all who don't know yet, dat's an island to da North of Cosrin. Da mines an' caverns an' grottos have already been hewn out an' need some more fine-tuning. Now an' then we run across odd novel critters dat don't seem to feel quite at home yet, but there have been sightings of their kiddos already, so... give dat time.

Unfortunately, we had to mourn some losses as well, not all of da novel creatures take it well when we happen to stumble into da many lairs they retreated to. But dat's a risk we have to live with, we are workers, not adventurers or warriors. But da villagers on da surface of dat island are friendly, an' provide us with lotsa fresh food an' yummy drinks. An' just yesterday I came across a group of capable healers dat arrived to stay on Bequin, so dat sounds good to me. An' there's dat odd stranger with his antique suitcase of mysterious items he won't show to us. 'Eadgar', he says, 'ya gotta be patient', he says. Weird guy, really.

Ah well, dat's it fer now, time fer me to get back to dat island."

The supervisor and the stonemason whisper a few words to each other, then the supervisor nods her head and turns to the crowd again:

"I just received word that another contract has been agreed upon and signed which concerns the Fighters' Guild. There will be structural work for maintenance purposes. For their own safety, some tutors and shop vendors might temporarily be evacuated and may enjoy an expanded vacation time.

Lately, we also have been negotiating contracts with new and better suppliers for higher quality forging materials. Until those new contracts are signed and effective, we will be selling whatever we still have in guild storage. We will notify you of any changes regarding our guild forging.

Monks' and Rogues' Guild are supposed to be updated and modernised in the near future as well, but the plans and contracts are still negotiated.

'The only thing constant is change', as an old saying goes. A lot of things are currently in flux, there are interesting times ahead for all of us."

With that the supervisor steps back, nods curtly to the stonemason and leaves the marketplace, the stonemason following shortly thereafter. Several scribes mount their steeds to deliver the news to various other places.

Items in general
• Some existing items have more descriptive and unique names (like firebird => majestic firebird)

Quests
• A lot of formerly unnamed quests are now more readily visible. These have been detailed below

Isle of Bequin (not yet open)
• All Bequin areas are mapped and rooms coded, the island now contains the mountains and several mountain plateaus, some villages, a glade with a lake and a waterfall, a sunken town, a mining level in the mountains and two more, even deeper catacombs. A lot of rooms have descriptions already, some have examinables as well.
• A small port for travel will be added in the future.

Thanks for posting about this, sorry it has taken so long to pick up on these issues. We are looking into them just now.

Please provide any and all feedback with regards to the recent update on the test server here.

We are particularly interested in how the increase in max hp / sp affects gameplay for those level 50+

We have updated the test server to version 3.0 of the Cosrin Engine. If you would like to access the test server, please ensure you are using the latest client from https://www.cosrintwo.com/downloads - Version 513 is the latest version as of this post. Please backup your /users/USERNAME/documents/OGC folder to ensure that no settings are lost when installing the new client.

Once installed you can make a copy of the shortcut on the desktop, right click > properties > target > change the last part of this field from -COSRIN2 to -COSRIN2QA
This will connect to the TEST server.

There has been a change in how passwords are encrypted and this means all text in the passwords have been converted to uppercase letters so if your password doesn't work on test, please try changing all letters to capitals. You may change your password using the PASSWORD command once in game and it will retain case sensitivity. Please be aware that any update or reboot of the test server may require you to enter your original, uppercase, password.

• Game data is now stored using a SQL database

• Password encryption has been strenghtened

• Passwords can now be up to 70 characters in length

• There are now additional checks carried out on logon which may lead to a slight delay but increase account security

• Players can now add an additional two lines of descriptions using the description3 and description4 commands

• HP and SP gains will now continue until max level

• Current players who are over level 50 will have their HP and SP increased to take the new changes into account

• The base chance for good things to happen when you have a subscription to Cosrin : A New Dawn has been increased to 50%

• The PERKS command now displays your current bonus for subscribers as well as your veteran rank + veteran bonus

• Items now have the ability to have Land, City, Guild and Temple level restrictions placed on them

• Trying to use or equip an item when you do not meet the requirements will result in none of the item benefits being applied - Weapons will not be usable (You will use empty hands to attack) and no armour bonuses will be received from armour

• A warning message is displayed when you HOLD an item that "while you can hold the item, you will gain no benefit from it" if you do not meet the level requirements

• Dying whilst on a flying mount should no longer cause you to lose the flying ability

• Dying whilst being a race that can fly and be flying should no longer cause you to lose the flying ability.

• Quests now have the ability to reward players with additional stable slots

• Characters now only have 1 guildvote that they may cast per vote

• If another player casts a spell and you know that spell, you will now know what they were casting

• If another players spell fizzles and you know that spell, you will still not know what they were trying to cast because they messed it up

• A bug has been fixed which allowed players who were above the "max level for EXP" range to still gather EXP from monsters in certain circumstances

• Typos have been fixed in the STUN and WEB weapon enchantments trigger text

• A whole load of other bugs have been squished in the process

It has come to our attention that some players still have this item within their posession.

This item was never intended to be distributed to players and will be removed in the next update.

If you have macros or scripts that rely on this item , I would advise changine these as soon as possible.

The votes have been counted and verified.

The results are.....(Drum roll)

Mages Guild - Doc
Fighters Guild - Fumpy
Monks Guild - Herman
Rogues Guild - Karli

Congratulations to the successful candidates. For those of you who are replacing current Guildmasters, I will contact you soon to handover GM items and some paperwork.

Hi Martiner,

Thanks for your post, I'll address the concerns you have raised:

Cosrin: A New Dawn is still wholly owned and operated by OGC. The game Admin (Myself) is a volunteer role and Development is carried out by OGC staff. I can make requests for development to OGC and they can implement changes that will benefit the overall system (i.e - improvements to the engine that do not effect core game mechanics)

OGC are committed to keeping Cosrin: A New Dawn operating for the foreseeable future. As far as I am aware the operating costs are minimal. If, for whatever reason, this stance changes. I will endeavor to work with players, staff and OGC to keep Cosrin: A New Dawn operating.

There has been no discussion regarding transfer of IP to a third party that I am aware of.

I can assure you that there is a robust backup and disaster recovery plan in place.

I hope this is of some comfort.

Regards,

Admin

Server i offline at present, i've asked Sysop to switch it off and back on again

Greetings.

Since I received notice that the current owner of the Cosrin Community Wiki was shutting down the project, I have tried every avenue possible to contact them in an effort to move the wiki to a more permanent home.

Unfortunately all my communications were met with silence, whether the email addresses are no longer monitored or incorrect, I don't know.

Anyway. I have attempted to download and collect all material on the current wiki and have uploaded the information to a new location. You can find the new Cosrin Community Wiki here : http://cosrin.wikia.com/

Please let me know if anything is missing and also feel free to contribute.

Regards
