I think the problems with the gate between Port Town and the harbor are fixed. I tested it and it seemed to work. If there are no further problems there this session, I'll fix the other gate the same way.
Aslo, the food and natural healing thing should be totally fixed and working now.
The forest near Port Town has some much more realistic looking trees. It still has some old ones, but that's just because I didn't have time to replace them all so I just did the ones near the road.
There is still no source of income. Spearfishing was going to be implemented, but failed due to a problem with the spear graphic that we don't understand and didn't have time to work on.
There seems to be a bug preventing player to player trading and gifts of money. You can try it using the command /trade and then I think you're supposed to leave a space and then type the other character's name. If anyone tries this, post in the feedback thread to indicate if it worked or not and what happened when you tried it.
We are now planning to replace the whole money system as a very high priority for various reasons. We want it the new system to come online at the same time as it is possible to earn income because people would be annoyed if they worked to earn income and then the money disappeared when the new system was implemented. I recommend you spend all your money this session. Buy meals from Thoreg if nothing else. Or "razor maces". Either of those will hold their value and you can sell them back to him to get the new kind of money when it's online.
Also there are a few other changes that are not visible and are not going to be publicly revealed. There are new items, slight changes to some places, etc.
There have also been updates to the wiki. The main ones include changes to reflect the events of the sixth session and also a section on noteworthy characters and their exploits. You might want to look and see if you're in there. If not, do something legendary and you'll probably be listed.

Ahh well, another session i will miss. Baseball is still going strong here, and while the season is still running i will not be able to make any sessions scheduled for tuesdays, wednesdays, or thursdays (3 kids playing this year lol). However , there is an end in sight, only 2-3 more weeks left. Hopefully , i can give MOG another try after baseball is over lol. I have been following all the changes made though, and it sounds like its coming along nicely. I'm looking forward to when i can play again

There is a lot of work to do just to deal with some problems and I really do not want another game session until we have some way for people to make money.
I've been working on the systemic problem I've mentioned earlier and I have made some progress on it. As a result of this, when you buy a magic spell, you no longer need to memorize it or log out and log in again to make it work.
I also made the chickens less formidable so hopefully they won't kill Beepe anymore.
With all this work to do, there will probably not be another game session until Thursday June 19, at the earliest.

Keep the good work up guys Nice to know that Beepe can now have a chance at killing the chickens. I pray the gods make enough chickens to satisfy her blood lust.

Thank you Charles. I suspect that the problems between me and the chickens are mostly me. It's not so much that I want the chickens dead but that I am craving chicken soup. I understand it is a great food for healing. Beepe, soup-maker

Well that will take more work on my part than just making the chickens weak. Eventually it will be possible to cook and eat the chickens, but that's not next on the list of things to do.

Take your time, Charles. Chicken soup can wait. I can understand that it wouldn't be very high on the list of priorities. I'll just think of it as a some day perk.

3 chickens won't make much soup to go round. Better bring in chicken farming for Beepe too.

There will be a session on Thursday, June 19, 2008 at 3pm US Pacific Time.
Also, I'm going to try to have a session very early in the morning US Pacific Time so that it will be relatively early in Europe. There may not be much warning for that one because scheduling it will depend on some things that I can't know more than a day or two in advance or less.
It is most likely to be Friday or Saturday since someone requested a weekend session.

In addition to the session tomorrow, there is now another session scheduled for Friday, 6 am Los Angeles time. That will be Friday afternoon in Europe. If any European players want to speak up to say whether that's convenient, that would be good. If you need it to be later, we could let the session run for an unusually long time so that anyone who needs to get home from work would have time to do so.
The time and date for this session was chosen to accommodate those who requested that we have a session (1) on a weekend, (2) not on a Thursday (3) not on a Tuesday and (4) not in the middle of the night in European time zones. This meets all four of those requirements.
We are making good progress towards having a way for players to earn money by spearfishing and possibly also by hunting. I don't know if those will be ready by tomorrow.
Another high priority is getting player-written spells online, the new money system and fixing the bug involving the inland gate at Port Town. We believe the Harbor Gate is already fixed.
Some other problems have been fixed.
