The game has been updated today.
Here is a list of the changes:
-You may now specify the amount of items you want to withdraw from the banks on item with a value such as diamonds or lumber. This addition also fixes a bug where depositing too many of a limited amount of item would cause them to get stuck in your bank permanently.
-Slightly lowered Knight's energy and significantly boosted Mages. They are about even now.
-Spell cast timer was raised from 500 ms to 800 ms primarily to balance Mages
-Game engine now uses DirectInput for faster keyboard response and performance
-Added a new "/ping" command to measure the delay (lag) between the game and server. This delay is in milliseconds. The lower, the better.
-Made the scripting system crash-proof
-Further increased networking performance
-Improved the language filter to help curb a growing amount of player spam and abuse
-Updated game security against cheaters. Never attempt to cheat on Odyssey.
-Fixed a bug where the floating text from magic against monsters was incorrect
-Fixed several freeze and crash bugs
In other news, the store is back online using PayPal! As many of you know, there were some people who committed credit card fraud. To protect the game, the new store simply only uses PayPal and the "Send Money" tab within it. This will protect the server (and your contributions) from having to pay chargeback fees from other people stealing from the store. If you don't have a PayPal account it's pretty painless to make one, and it's used almost everywhere now, so now is the time to get one!
