Past News
Did you miss that important news story? Do you want to read what happened while you were on vacation. Here's where to get that info!
Our news software, Coranto, has a bug which makes it purge links to news articles more than two years old. What is left of programmers who volunteer their time to support this software do not know why this bug occurs. We manually index older news pages in our Archived News

New Items Section
|
 I've finally finished something that has been on my list for a long time. Back when this site was RPGplanet there has been a list of items that was moved to our Nex-files section. That section will no longer be updated and a new Items section has been released. You can find this section on the Libary tab with all of the other database pages (Armor, Weapons, Monsters). As always, let me know about errors and give feedback or by submitting a Bug report.

New Database Search Feature
|
A lot of people have asked for a way to search for stuff without having to go to the armor, weapons or monster pages. We never really had that ability before. With our new SQL databases we can do that now. The down side is we don't have anyone on the staff who can program a really nice interface. So I've created a really simple look up and search section. Don't bother to ask for upgrades, changes, enhancements, etc. If you know enough about it to suggest those things, then get in touch with me and I'll find some work for you! Enjoy. (evil grin)

St. Patrick's Day Event Walkthrough
|
1) Go to the SANHAE SMITH and say 'Lucky'. The smith will ask if you want to make a net to capture this Lucky fellow, because he makes nice items.
Say yes.
He'll tell you he needs 5,000 coins and 4 items. He won't tell you the item's names, but he gives you four clues.
The items are:
- Wooden sabre (buy from any town smith for 1 coin)
- Wheat (farm from gardens using a basic sickle)
- Noodles (made by chefs)
- Wolf pelt (kill wolves in town rabbit caves)
Bring these to him, obtain the "Lucky net."
 
2) Once you have it, find Lucky! This can take a few tries, as he will trick you. It is a random spawn so you can ride a horse around till you see him. You don't have to have your Lucky net equipped.
Find Lucky and swing at him until you get a pop-up, and hope that you catch him! If you are a mage or poet, zapping Lucky works just as well as swinging your Lucky net. (He can be found in most places; all towns, Mythic, Wilderness)[Vale, Woodlands rumored]
Continually insist that he tell you about the pot of gold: do not let him go, and do not give him any coins!
3) He will tell you about the Lucky pick, which you can now obtain from Thane, in the Wilderness (where you purchase regular picks). Click Thane, select Buy, Lucky pick (costs 1k). Buy a couple of them because they break!
4) Walk around the mining fields until you find the Pot of gold! This can be frustrating, as you will find empty pots of gold (your Lucky pick will break!) or Useless coal.
  
But keep trying, you will eventually find the true Pot of gold and obtain one of the following items upon "opening" it:
All "lucky" items have Will +10, Wisdom +10 (no one knows what wisdom is yet), for Peasant Level 0
Lucky Trinket - stat bug
Golden Trinket
Lucky Staff
Dura 5000000
Damage S 20m20 / L 20m20
Lucky bouquet
You'll also get a Legend Mark,
Thanks to Yamiko for the original walkthrough
** all Lucky items can be equipped as a weapon.

Nexus Forums Registration Problems?

It's been a while since I've mentioned this on the news.
When you create an account, you can log in even before you're validated. Do so, then click on this link.
If you have any other problems, send an N-mail to "Rachel" or an e-mail to "Rachel_NA@hotmail.com"

Thank You!

I want to thank the many wonderful people who have donated to help us out! It makes my heart swell seeing the notes you've been sending. The Nexus Atlas Staff does this work because we love the game and it's wonderful to see that so many of you love this site!
Those of you who have donated may notice that the funds haven't been accepted yet. I'm waiting for bank verification to deposit those funds and that verification should be complete in 6 days at the latest. When the money has been deposited, I will publish a list of who donated as an expression of my thanks. Those of you who haven't donated still have my thanks for your continued patronage; not everyone is able to donate and I realize that. Heck if we all had limitless cash, I wouldn't be asking for donations right? Heh!
More information when the deposits are complete but I had to write something in the mean time because I'm so touched.
Thank you, Thank you,

New patch!
Posted
by: Rachel
-- 10:16 AM EST

A new patch was released today. This post will be edited as more information as it comes in!
If your auto-patch doesn't work and you end up deciding to remove Nexus to do a full installation, make sure your move your Screenshots folder out of the NexusTK directory. Otherwise all of your screenshots will be deleted.
Mug just shouted that we won't see everything from the patch right away, but the tree of reflections has changed. The new tree graphic could mean that there were a lot of new graphics added.
I'm not quite sure how the little green circle below turns into the hats they're wearing, but that's another change we've found! (Thanks to Ally for making the animated Coronal!)

New Geomancer Elder
|
Last night, Haein-Sa Quellious the elder of the Geomancer sub-path stepped down. Quellious was a great help to the path and gave both knowledge and support to the fellow walkers as an elder. He will continue to do so as a guide.
KenZi has taken his place and will do fine work. KenZi has been a Geomancer guide previous times along the yuris/hyuls and will keep the path running strong with her experiences.
Good luck and congratulations Elder Kenzi!

We Need Upgrades
|
|
Nexus Atlas has rarely asked for donations but that time has come again. A few nice folks have volunteered to donate money to help us out but there are several ways we could use more help.
For $150 we can upgrade our Forums software which will work well with a modification that will let us do away with Coranto! It's not absolutely necessary that we get this upgrade but it will make the Forums more successful and easier to administrate. With the added bonus of getting rid of Coranto it's a no brainer! Additional funds will help us continue to upgrade our Forums on a regular basis.
We'd also like to create a reserve fund to be held jointly by the Nexus Atlas staff to cover any expenses that come up in the future. While it seems that we're not using as many resources as our previous host claimed, we still might need to move to a semi-dedicated server in the future.
We're hoping that you can see your way to donating a few dollars (or even MEGA bucks). It's a small start but we'll gotten $20 in donations already. So if you are able, please click the donate button above and know that your help makes this a better site for all of us.
We will provide online receipts and accounting so everyone can see where the money is spent. The Staff thanks everyone who can help us!
~ AllyGator
In the PURPOSE field, please give us your Nexus Forums account name. If you don't have a Nexus Forums account, please use the name of your main character in the game.
I'll try to make something on the forums for the people who donate. Please do so! - Rachel

Tea Ceremony
|
On Friday, March 7th Mug invited everyone to a Tea Ceremony he held last night. Attended by Gamemaster Cup and the Archons, Mug said that for 10 years there have been many players who have helped the game become what it is today. Many of those players are no longer with us but the positions they developed remain. To honor their memory and to thank the ones who still help, he awarded special staves which are to be passed along to the next one to hold the job.
Each subpath elder, clan primogen, kingdom minister, generals, chancellors, archons, carnage division heads, fox hunt head, and Qantao our historian received this award. Each staff has a name that matches the job title; Qantao's says "Historian". Each staff has the same stats but there are three different colors. Game Master staves are red, Archons staves are orange (doh!) and the others are blue!
  
 Durability: 5000000/5000000 Damage: S 90m90 L 100m100 Mana increase: +1000 Will increase: +12 Any Class Level 70 reg After the ceremony Mug and Cup danced for our entertainment. They have new armor that comes with a dancing partner! Mug said this won't be coming out in the Item Shop next week but he didn't say that it wouldn't be there soon!

Server Reset & Patch coming
Posted
by: Vini
-- 4:07 AM EST
|
|
The storms in the lands of Nexus last Friday have brought few changes. Mostly these affect only clans and ministries, but other few which cannot see shall affect community in close future.
Here is the official list of updates as posted on Dream Weavers board:
Clan, Army & Ministry additions and fixes:
* Minor fix for Phoenix clan
* Added board in front of status for Nagnang Ministry
* Pegasus gets new merchant Drudge (Minor quest) and new warp to Nagnang arena
Other:
* Update for Honorary tea ceremony
* Small item shop update
* Other large updates for next weeks patch.
Those who have been hunting in Ancient Training grounds shall not worry as they are still available.
The patch mentioned in the post will add to the client, according to Mug, great items, new monsters and more. The patch is said to be implemented this Tuesday, March 11th. Mug also spoke in his blog about the upcoming projects: Sa san seems to be only out by June-July, RP town and New carnage game can come sooner and the other big addition he claims it is far from being finished so refrains from talking about it now.
It is really good to see Mug sharing a bit of his work with the fans on his blog and so people can sort of know by when to expect Sa san. As obvious delays can happen so no one should freak out and scream at him if it doesn't get released by the 10th anniversary date.
Another good thing to make clear about the patch. When adding new items and monsters, it means the client will accept such new graphics, but it doesn't mean nexus will have such available right away. So do not get disappointed if we don't see any big changes with Tuesday's patch, a patch is for the GM to have more options on what to add, doesn't necessary mean new features available. Either way, nothing stops people from having hope.

Nexus Atlas Has Moved

Thanks to IceSpadez tireless efforts and a few sleepless hours for both of us, we've moved to a new server. We're now sharing space with stataddict.com. I just checked the server CPU which is averaging 1%. Much better than the 20% our previous host claimed.
If you find any problems or bugs please post on the Forum Bug Report thread.

Museum Contest for Chung Ryong Exhibit
|
 Dear Citizens, After recently returning from a trip to the western steppes, I took a stroll through the Museum after unpacking, just to relax and make certain all was as I had left it. I was admiring our many exhibits when I realized that the Chung Ryong exhibit was missing its informational placard! I immediately sat down to come up with some information, but was so tired from my travels that my mind was a blank. As usual, the Caretaker was no help; he kept muttering that he had to dust and rushed off. Stumped, I walked down to see what the other Totem animal placards said: just to refresh my memory, of course. That's when it struck me--the other Totem exhibits were all written by generous Community members with a literary bent. Swiftly deciding that what had worked so well in the past must certainly prove successful now, I determined to hold a public contest. May the best historian win! Here's what I'm looking for in a successful entry: Your entry must provide a clear and concise history of the mighty Chung Ryong: its divinity, its arrival in our lands, and its relationship to the citizens of the Kingdoms and Wilderness. Your entry must be one post or less in length. ((Your entry must be sent to me, Qantao, by March 12 by 12pm PST.)) And now, for your prize! Whoever pens the winning entry will receive the satisfaction of their work being presented in the Museum in perpetuity. They will also receive 800 Kruna as a blessing from the Gods, in thanks for helping others to learn. Good luck, and I remain, Yours in history, Qantao Historian

Time to Help Nexus Atlas Test
|
Yes you can ALL be testers if you like!!! Our web host says we've outgrown our site and need to upgrade to a dedicated server and poor AllyGator doesn't have the funds for that. Lots of kind people have offered to help out with money. But first we want to test and see if our site is REALLY causing resources problems. IceSpadez has created a mirror site on stataddict.com and we invite you to HAMMER the mirror site!
HAMMER NA MIRROR
AND
HAMMER NA FORUMS MIRROR
You may notice a few things are missing like images and such. You'll have to log into the forums everytime you visit the mirror, we're trying to fix that.
But go for it! Ramp that traffic up and let's see how busy we can get!
RAWR!
AllyGator
PS - I hope IceSpadez doesn't hurt me for this. LOL!
PS - This one is for Tonberry!
PS -
I don't know is if we have some rogue script that has suddenly decided to go nuts and consume all the server's resources. If that is true then we could splitting the site with 2 accounts but that would mean one account or the other would replicate the problem and then we'd be out the time and money of opening a new account.
By setting a mirror to test we can see if the problem exists and find it. This is a server we have complete access to so the test should prove or disprove the problem. It should also tell us exactly where the problem is so we can fix it. If we find that there isn't a bad script and that we just need a new hosting plan, this test will prove that as well.
