For those who don't know, Alter Aeon is an online, multiplayer text
based game. The game theme is fantasy based, with swords and sorcery,
dragons and trolls, gods and demons.  Our Mush-Z client is made by
blind players for blind players, and it help make Alter Aeon one of
the best blind-friendly games out there.

There have been a lot of updates over the last two months.  There are
three new areas:

- The Aztec Palace and Temple at level 33, by Draak and Shadowfax
- The Island of HakaHaka at level 33, by Kagome
- Eisenmere, the Iron Sea at total level 134+, by Draak and Shadowfax

There are three updated areas:

- The Labyrinth, which and instanced and suitable for levels 34-37
- Headhunter Island, which has been raised to level 35
- Thalenwood Forest and the elven City of Trinsic, are now level 31

Major code and client updates:

- There have been a number of new Mush-Z updates, including new
sounds, better handling of recast, better shortid, and mushreader
improvements.

- Add well made/finely made/mastercraft indicators to items.  Well
made items can be much more heavily enchanted and strongly reforged.

- A number of improvements and updates to the new Druid class,
including stronger water weirds, better carving, spell and skill
experience, and new sounds.

- A lot of updates to bone dragons, making it much easier to navigate
and find landing spots.

- Experience and area changes to make it easier for players to find
appropriate high level areas.

- Work continues on the account system for Stellar Aeon, and we may
also be helping with the release of a new audiogame called
Interceptor!

We've also made a number of awesome 'ease of use' changes:

- Allow 3 letter abbreviations for most door names.
- Add 'set infrashort' to toggle infravision short/long description modes.
- Make thief 'cloak of darkness' a simple status effect so it's more useful.
- Add support for 'get all' and 'put all' of a specific object type.
- Add account based player ignore and block commands.
- Improvement to boat shoreline display and boat landing site locations.

Lastly, we have an upcoming event for solstice in June.  New players
are always welcome.  We'd love to see you there!
