July Promotions

Hello Imperian!

We will be keeping it simple this month with a 30% price reduction on credit
purchases for August. If you have a membership, you get 10% more credits at the
discounted price! You can purchase credits as usual at:

https://www.imperian.com/credits/

Additionally, we will be running the spawnwave challenge! Gain credits for each
unique spawnwave you complete this month. The more spawnwaves you complete, the
more credits you can earn per spawnwave. You must deal the killing blow on at
least 30% of the mobs within a spawnwave for it to be considered completion.

Further details can be found in HELP SPAWNWAVE CHALLENGE.

Mortal Builders

Hello, Imperian!

We have reached a point with regards to the org revamp, where we have enough of
a concrete plan to set it in motion. This involved a lot of brainstorming,
alongside combing through many old internal documents and helpfiles. However,
we believe this was important to move forward properly.

We are looking for mortal builders to help us bring this plan to fruition. This
involves designing areas, mobs, and items. Although we have a well established
overall plan, there is ample opportunities to add your own personal touches to
the project. We will also be open to your feedback throughout the process, in
order to tweak things accordingly.

Like staff, mortal builders must agree to IRE's volunteer agreement. However,
they are allowed to remain players while volunteering. Builder projects will
focus on description writing for now, and not writing progs. So there is no
coding experience required. We may delve into allowing prog writing in the
future, however.

If you are interested in helping us build the future of Aetherius, submit an
email to skuf@imperian.com. Please include:

- Your main character's name (which will be your builder character).

- A little bit about any writing experience you may have. If you have examples
to point us to, all the better!

We will be accepting applications for the rest of the June, and contact you
in-game if accepted.

There will be a simple tutorial process to ease builders into the commands and
process. So even if you've never built on a MUD, this is an excellent chance!

Reminders

Hello!

Just a few reminders:

- Classleads will close to submissions on April 30th. So get those submitted soon!

- The Celebration shop will close, so spend those coins! We're not sure if the
currency or items in the shop will ever come back at this point!

- If you logged in between April 4th and 10th, look in your inventory for a
lottery ticket and an ancient Caanae crystehl medallion. The letters have all
decayed, however.

- Make sure to LOTTERY EXCHANGE TICKET at the Lottery Office to enter the
lottery! Physical tickets in your inventory do not count and will be wiped.

Promos? Classleads!

Hello, Imperian!

A little announcement for the last week of the Celebration. See the second part
of the post for Classleads!

I was hoping to have a more substantial number of old/rare promotions enabled
for the last week of April. Unfortunately, most ideas I've received have been
part of the standard rotation of monthly promotions still. There's also old
ones that I found, which are best left unused.

We're primarily focusing on the org revamp and general day to day. However, I
am slowly working on things in the background to better organize all the
artifacts and promo items, so we have a much better picture as to what's
available and not. This would let us tweak promotions to be better, and perhaps
offer things that were lost in the depths of old code.

Since I did promise Ancestral Stones being sold by Christof, you can purchase
them from him until the end of the month. These are 200 credits for a specific
stone, or 100 credits for a random stone. GREET Christof inside the Celebration
tent (v32534) for details.

- S

---

We are also starting a round of classleads until the end of the month. This is
your chance to get things relating to general or profession skills looked into.
We also urge everyone (even those not submitting reports) to comment on
submitted reports. Your input is highly valued (and useful). Remember to keep
things civil!

*** Unlike previous rounds, comments and submissions are both enabled at the same
time! ***

As usual, you can submit up to (5) reports. Here are a few things to take into
account when submitting a report:

- Keep reports about specific skills rather than broad mechanics. It doesn't
have to be a single skill, but avoid broad "this whole skillset or mechanic
needs to be redone".

- Do submit reports about non-combat skills, if such skills have an effect on
game balance. For most quality of life things, however, an IDEA will suffice.

- Keep reports short and to the point. This helps us go through them more
quickly, and makes it easier for others to comment on.

- Reports should take your profession into account, but more importantly, the
overall game and inter-circle balance. Avoid reports asking for a change
simply because another profession has something yours does not. Reports should
consider how your proposed changes affect the balance of:

- Your profession overall. (Does it fit, and does it increase/decrease the
overall strength appropriately?)

- Synergy between your profession and those on your circle.

- The game overall.

Celebrations, continued.

Hello Imperian!

We're a little over half way through our month of celebrations. We hope you've
enjoyed it thus far, but there's more to go until the end of the month!

This past weekend we had the two combat tournaments. The 1v1 which was won by
Aurola, and the team tournament, which was won by Alvetta and Drozogoth's team!
It was certainly a surprise to have so many people participate. We still have
another major combat event coming this Friday-Saturday, the King of the Hill!

Two things we would like to mention in this post:

1. We will open up classleads for submissions on April 23, until the end of the
month. This way any changes will not affect the events. So get those reports
ready!

2. Based on some inquiries in the past couple months, we're going to enable
some older, rarer promotions for the last week of April. If you remember any
that you'd like to see, message Skuf! We can't make any promises, however.

So far we'll have Christof selling Ancestral Stones directly for credits.
There's a few specific items we've been asked about previously, some of which
have disappeared from any promo's loot tables. Those will unfortunately have to
wait until we can focus on a proper audit of what's available and not
available. (Alongside restructuring promotion loot in general.)

Take care!

Celebrations Part I

Hello, Imperian!

After a long hiatus, we are happy to announce the return of the Tournament of
Ages in order to celebrate Imperian's 20th anniversary! The game first went
online on April 4th, 2003, and as many of you know, it's been quite a
rollercoaster ride since. The staff and I have come up with an entire month of
events, filled with new and returning rewards. We hope you'll enjoy it!

Events, Schedule and Dates
--------------------------

You will find that we have cleared the automated SCHEDULE, and manually setup
events so they happen throughout the month. We have also scheduled every event,
so you can plan ahead.

- All events are scheduled around day change, which is midnight UTC.
This is 17:00 MST, 19:00 CST, 20:00 EST.

- There are two (2) automated events each week day, the first one (1) hour
before day change, and the next one (1) hour after. These will show on
SCHEDULE.

- Weekend events are scheduled AT day change exactly, but are not automated.
Expect Torran to be around for those.

- Events last no more than an hour, though most don't last more than 30 mins.
The Horror Hunt has been reduced from 3 to 1 hour in duration.

- No events are planned for April 1st and 4th. That's not a joke!

See the next post for further details on events.

Aetherian Coins
---------------

We have a new currency for this month alone: Aetherian coins. These are
non-physical, non-tradeable coins. You can earn coins by:

- One (1) coin when participating in any scheduled event. Winning not required!
- One (1) coin for every 20 daily credits you earn.

Celebration Shop
----------------

Coins can be spent at the Celebration shop (v32535) in Caanae, where you'll find:

- Behavior scrolls for scepters. (HELP BEHAVIORS, HELP SCEPTER)
- A handful of new vanity pets.
- Two new artifact mounts.
- Artifact vials and pipes themed around each circles.

If none of this sparks your interest, you can also buy tickets to the Iron
Lottery or giftbags!

Anniversary Week
----------------

Anyone logging in from April 4th to the 10th (inclusive) will receive a letter,
a little token of our (the team) appreciation and a free ticket to the Iron
Lottery.

April Promotions

Hello, Imperian!

First, this month's normal promotion is giftbags. Credit purchases on the
website will include giftbags as follows:

- Every 10 credits purchased will earn you a giftbag, for the first 100
credits. This is cummulative, so it will remember individual purchases
throughout the month. See CREDITSALE to keep track of those.

- Every 25 credits!

This means that the first 100 credits will earn you a total of 14 giftbags! See
HELP GIFTBAGS for possible prizes. As a reminder that you can combine five (5)
giftbags into celebratory to spread the joy or gold giftbags for potentially
better prizes.

As this month is the game's 20th year anniversary, there's a lot more in store.
There will be a way to obtain giftbags, alongside new prizes! Details will be
posted in the very next post.

Iron Lottery
------------

There will be an Iron Lottery running the entire month. The drawing will be at
the very end of the month. Tickets CANNOT be purchased outside of the
Celebration shop (see next post). The prizes are as follows:

1. 750 bound credits
2. 500 bound credits
3. 250 bound credits
4. A stack of five (5) normal giftbags.

See HELP LOTTERY for details. Don't forget to exchange your physical tickets!

Hello Imperian!

The team and I have been doing a lot of brainstorming and work on the game
lore, the upcoming anniversary and the faction system. It's no secre that the
game is a bit of a mess on both ends of things. This means we run into a lot of
walls often, and we only have a couple hands to throw at problems.

We're looking for some thoughts and feedback from the playerbase on a few
things. There will be a thread in #general-mechanics on the Discord, however,
feel free to contact me through other means if you prefer. Even if you just
express something neat from Imperian's past that meant a lot to you, everything
is incredibly helpful.

1. What sort of things would you like to see in the upcoming celebration of
Imperian's 20 years?

2. What are some events, locations, NPCs, and other things in the world that
you feel are important to the world at large or your organizations?
Specifically, those that you feel are easily forgotten or underappreciated?

3. With factions bringing together different orgs with different goals: How do
you imagine each circle's cities and councils building their faction forts? How
do you see the different orgs' aspects being integrated together?

We can't promise that every ideas will be implemented, and everything will go
smoothly. However, we hope to limit the "loss" of integral lore, and keep as
much of the cities and councils' identities intact as possible.

March Promotions

Hello Imperian!

It's that time for different promotions again!

On the website, you will find the artifact cart (under Credits > Artifact
Cart). This allows you to purchase artifacts directly at a 30% discount.
Players with the membership get a 40% discount.

Additionally, credit purchases (no-brainers not included) will give 30% extra
credits (40% with a membership). So if you buy 100 credits, you get 130 (or
140) for the same price.

Throughout March, if you've been logged in for at least an hour, you may see a
rainbow! You can SEARCH FOR RAINBOW, and should you find the other end, receive
a reward! I have also updated HELP RAINBOWS with a list of rewards.

Hello Imperian!

For February, we are running a lesson sale, and phylacteries! Both of which can

Typos - a new submission process.

Hello everyone,

We have just released a new TYPO system that is designed to be similar to the HELPEDIT system. The TYPO command will now allow you to edit and submit any typos you find for items, mobiles and rooms.

When you submit a typo you will now specify if it is for an ITEM, MOB or ROOM, and which description the typo is in. You'll then be taken to the editor where you can edit the description, and submit your typo.

A more thorough explanation is available in HELP TYPO. Any approved typos will grant a daily credit.

Hello Imperian!

We are starting off the year once again with the Wheel of Fortune promotion! It goes a bit
like this:

- You may purchase spins from the website at https://www.imperian.com/credits/
- Each day, after 60 minutes of play time, you can spin the wheel for free!
- You may purchase spins in-game for 25 bound credits each.

Do note that there are two sets of loot depending on whether it is purchased from the
website, or obtained in-game. See HELP WHEEL for details.

End of 2022

Hello Imperian!

Yet another year passes us by!

This year again wouldn't have been possible without the help of wonderful
volunteers: Valethar, Eryx, and Kiandre. We've also had the pleasure of
onboarding another coder, Qraarmac, a few months ago.

Along with a long list of bug fixes and general tweaks, this year we:

- Implemented an update to our exploration system so that every room is counted
(rather than only 1 in 3 previously).

- Added the TIMELINE system to help keep track of things that have happened.

- Iron Realms released the new version of our Nexus client.

- Added a system to help cities and guilds manage their credit sales.

- Saw the addition of the Hall of Heroes to celebrate our top rankers, as well
as the fighting pits attached to it.

For the next year, our focus will be on Imperian's 20th anniversary, condensing
and restructuring the game's organizations, and eventually reworking our
conflict mechanics. See Announce posts 4112 and 4113 for details.

We thank you for spending time here throughout the year, especially considering
the game's current state of things. Additionally, for the continued feedback
you have given us to improve Aetherius.

Have a safe and wonderful 2023!

- The Imperian team.

Rumors have it, Ironbeard's been spotted on his yearly drunken gift-giving walks again. Teleport dash safely!

December Promotions

Hello Imperian!

Stockings return once again for the month of December! Details are in HELP
STOCKINGS. You can purchase them from the website at:

https://www.imperian.com/credits/

Multi-faceted gems are still part of stockings this year, which you can find
information on in HELP GOGGLES, HELP AMULETS and HELP SCEPTERS.

These stockings can be hung for yourself, friends and even complete strangers!

Ironbeard is still recovering from a wild year of regrettable decisions. Fear
not, however, as he will be back starting on December 10th until the end of the
month.

Happy and safe holidays to everyone!

P.S.: Oops, I missed this by a day. My bad!
