Halloween Event

• Halloween has started on BlissScape! Death is throwing is annual Halloween Party at his home

• You can access the party via the Dark Portal next to Death north of ::home

• I hear there’s some suspicious activity going on in at the party so you may want to hurry!

Other Bug Fixes and Adjustments

• Group Ironmen can now use the BlissScape Postal Service to send items to other members of their Group Ironman Team

• Zahur will now properly require/use Juju vials of water when making unfinished Juju potions

• The Loose Railing in the Training Camp can now be squeezed through rather than just not existing (and messing up clipping sometimes)

• Added a missing period in the Bug Buster title requirement text

• Ashuelot Reis will no longer walk around in a Nex instance

• Fixed a typo in the bank preset error when you no longer meet the requirements for some items

• The PVP Bots in the wilderness now properly damage the player again

• Fixed an inconsistency with capitalization with Juju potions

• The failed to catch animation for Common Jadinkos now uses the correct Jadinko

• Fixed an issue when crafting Summoning pouches with stackable tertiaries

• If you’re too far away from your familiar without enough space for your familiar to teleport to you, it will now properly disappear until there’s space

Dedicated Server

• BlissScape and the website are now hosted on a new dedicated server! This transition was not easy, but I’ve already seen the benefits of this new system.

• If you don’t know the difference between a VPS (Virutal Private Server, what BlissScape was on before) and a dedicated server, the difference is a Virtual Private Server is virtual, meaning there are many virtual servers running on one big server. They share resources, uptime, etc. A dedicated server is real hardware on a server rack somewhere that BlissScape now has 100% access to. It has over 10x the resources of our old VPS and will be much more reliable!

• Since the website (and all BlissScape servers) are now hosted on this one machine, it makes connecting them much easier. BlissScape itself never really had an issue with lag except when communicating to the website.

• You’ll notice the Highscores load much faster now, especially if the results are cached

• Since they’re all connected, my workflow is also greatly simplified, meaning updates will be easier for me to work on, I’m excited to see where BlissScape goes from here on our new hardware!

• Most of the last month or so has been preparing for this change, but I still had time to work on a new update as well. Read below!

BlissScape Postal Service

• Postie Pete is now at ::home and is your gateway to the BlissScape Postal Service!

• The BlissScape Postal Service is a way of sending messages and/or items to anyone on BlissScape - even when they’re offline!

• Receiving mail does respect the Private mode and Ignore list like Private chat, and you can also disable it entirely by speaking to Postie Pete if you don’t want to receive any messages regardless of Private mode

• It costs 1,000 coins to send a message and 1% of the item’s high alchemy (examine) value (maximum fee of 1,000,000 coins) to send items

• The main purpose of this system is to send friendly messages and/or give gifts to other players!

• If an account has 10 or more unclaimed messages, they won’t be able to accept any more

• There’s a 30 second delay inbetween sending mail

• You will get a notification (and sound, if enabled) when you receive new mail

• You will also get this notification on login if you have unclaimed mail

• There’s a 2 minute delay for the notification if you’re receiving multiple messages quickly

• Postie Pete will keep track of your sent/received messages, so be friendly!

• You can delete messages from your history by speaking to Postie Pete

• You can "unsend" any mail that you may have sent by mistake, so long as the other player hasn't claimed it yet

• You are refunded the item if you sent one and it hasn’t been claimed yet, but not the mailing fee

• If it has already been claimed, you will only have the option to delete the message from your own personal history

• It stays in the recipients history unless they also delete it

• Like trading, ironmen can be sent only Rank boxes and Bliss points, and can send any tradeable item to non-ironman accounts

• UIM can use the system, but they cannot reclaim sent items, even if they haven’t been claimed

• Warning: UIM unsending a message that hasn’t been claimed will delete the item for both players

Other Additions
