SettingsQuestsAdjustments to tutorial quests to improve flow through the quests. Tutorial quests still start with Abelia and all players must still do this quest before any others (except exiting the tutorial). The players can then chose to do any of ... [More] the following quests related to crafting/combat/magic/other in any order they choose. Quest dialogues have been expanded to allow the quests to be done in a linear or random fashion.

During summer we released a number of good updates, here is a summary. Enjoy!Engine Fixes to NPCClient to improve stability Combat fixes including attack distance/timing Rules Monster stats review: we reviewed all the mobs stats to make sure their ... [More] power matches the intended power scale. We found a few mobs stats were higher than intended, therefore we lowered the stats for: Tefusangling, Trepor, Trepor Warrior, Tefusang, Trepor Queen, and Marfusang. Armour training: we increased the training range to improve training. Four new crafts have been completed and released: Brewing: You can now craft your own beverages! From beer to cider and ales to wine, select the right ingredients to match your fine meals with new kind of drinks. A dedicated crafting area has also been added to Amdeneir Tavern. Jewelry Making: Yliakums smithies are now ready to teach you the fine art of Jewelry Making. Work the most precious metals and gems to create adorned wears that you will be able to enchant! The Jewels enchantment have been designed to possibly boost each skill. Shield Enchanting: you can now enchant your shields. Depending on the enchantment, shields can boost one damage type (pierce, blunt or slash) but also deal damage to the attacker, if he manages to hurt you. Weapon Enchanting: you can also enchant your weapons. You will be able to boost the weapons damage type (pierce, blunt, slash) and deal extra damage or special attacks. The Hearty Flat Pie, recipe created by the cooking contest winner Licina, has been added to the crafting book. Important Note: the smith table is no longer an auto-container. This means it needs to be activated to start the process. This change was necessary... [Less]

We would like to present you a new project we are starting, which may change our future.During the last 15 years we have gone through some amazing technology changes and we have increased the quality of our models, nearly doubled the complexity of ... [More] our characters, added bump maps to all levels, added reflections, improved NPC dumbness...ehm, I meant intelligence, created new importers for latest 3D tools, refined the UI and more. That's because we love technology and we love to make PlaneShift look as good as we can.Since the beginning, PlaneShift has had Crystal Space as its 3D engine and they have been a great partner to bring PlaneShift to life. But this year the PS team has been considering the possibility of an alternative. We reviewed all options such as Blender engine, Ogre, Unity, and Unreal.Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) is our choice. Just take a look at this video.Now, don't get TOO excited. Yliakum isn't suddenly going to look like THAT. Afterall, the engine and artwork are two different things, but it gives you an idea of what's possible. It gives you a glimpse of the robust tools we'll have to work with, especially in the areas of animation, particles and effects. The entire tool chain will be greatly improved and we can have the support of a very active community with a lot of documentation and tutorials at our disposal.This has the potential to take us to the next level, where forests are huge and mysterious, foliage is lush, shadows are dynamic and realistic, your clothes move at the rhythm of the wind, spell effects are as elaborate as magic is, where your character can make facial expressions, monsters realistically drop to the ground, objects bounce as you kick them, you can slice consumers in two pieces and see the inside, and where w...
