New Release!! 822

*Maia Flowers will no longer drop.

*Maia will no longer spawn.  I meant to keep Maia in a week after her flowers quit dropping, but I let her stay too long.  If you have flowers, she might make a surprise visit and she definitely will be back next year.

*8 new areas.

*14 new creatures.

On the new areas, I usually prefer for the players to find them and find out the info for themselves, but I feel these might need some background info, before you go running head first in.  Designed for endgame, found by talking to the Kobold Boatman, go to the Outside the River Gate - Temple of Avarice.  Then go Left, thru the AT, which will put you at the Temple which is a safe area.  The monsters inside these areas through the portal, will drop Shards and Stones.  The Shards are given to Evad, who is at the Temple.  The more Shards you give him, the better the Random store you can see.  7 total stores, with the last one, should take you years to get to.  Stones you can redeem for items, randoms and new forge stones, basically like the Easter Eggs, the catch is, you can not redeem these inside the Avarice areas, you must leave or be inside the Temple area.  Also, if you die, all of your Shards and Stones, will be put in a coffin with your name on it, which should stay up for around 15 minutes.  So playing solo, if you die and respawn, you can try to run back to your death spot and retrieve your lost Stones and Shards.  PVP-wise, you die, your killer can take your Stones and Shards out of your coffin.  So you might want to go in, get some Shards and Stones and then get out and not get too greedy.  

If you get killed by a player in these areas, you will lose 5 points towards the merchant rep and they will gain 5 points.  I also added an area for PVPing and added things like boulders, to keep people from simply Monking away.  Also, there is a note, warning the players of PVP and that anything goes in these areas.  You will not have to engage in any kind of rules in order to start PVPing, meaning no Role Play or let the player know you are in the area and you are wanting to PVP, do you want to too kind of thing, and so on, unless you just want to.  Entering the areas of Avarice, is saying you agree to PVP and any kind of surprise tactics.  You are by no means required to PVP, it is up to the players, you are not forced to kill anybody you don't want to, you might be the only one in the area and I think the players are better off working together.  But if you are wanting to engage in PVP, this might be the place to go, where before none existed and I am also trying to bring the excitement back from like 18 years ago, when you never knew who you was going to run into and what kind of jerk that person is, who might want to kill you for fun.   Sometimes this wasn't enjoyable, but it did keep you on your toes.  Also this gives you a reason to PVP, a reward of their Stones and Shards and 5 points, where before, they wasn't really any reason to PVP, no benefit to.  As of now, Drones are allowed, which could change, I am hoping to keep them in, but I never seen a Drone in PVP before either.  Also if anybody knows of something super cheezy that shouldn't exist or something I could change, please let me know.  Logging off during PVP is still against the rules.  This also might open the door for more PVP areas, maybe something more team based, later on.  I just don't want people going there, then get Player Killed and then rage quit, because they didn't know the details of the area.  I think too, that adding the chance of getting Shards and Stones, balance the Areas out, to where the chance of getting Player Killed, makes it equal to the other areas, where you are not at all likely to get harmed by another player.  But then again these areas may never be used because everyone might want to stay away from PVP.  This will at least let us judge the interest in PVP on 3T.  Any feedback, questions are comments, just let me know.
