Within the first few paragraphs of these notes, they talk about what their next major updates would be, including mini-games and activities. They even dropped the bomb that Salabouncing was coming to VPN, much to everyone’s happiness.
Also be sure to check out the first episode of the Meteorites Podcast, as the notes were posted as we were recording the podcast. We discuss them even more in-depth during the ‘Cast. Without further ado, here are the notes for 1.1.
Features
- The World Map is now accessible from your island map – click the globe icon in the bottom right hand corner. You’ll only be able to leave an island from a Port. The port icon should be visible in the tooltip as you mouse over a location.
- All our maps now scroll using the arrow keys, and you can also click and drag with the mouse.
- Also.. the maps are much better quality now. Since we’re only loading one in at a time we increased the JPEG quality.
- We’ve added a new achievement for getting to the Heroic status with any faction. Once again these will be given out retroactively on the factions page.
- The ‘preview’ function for buying items now is a little more ‘graphic-designy’
- Any factions that you have reached Hero status with are now displayed upon your profile
Game Changes
- Added 6 new locations: Lizrus Landing, Dragontail Forest, The Silver Bay, The Amber Falls, The Cavern of a Thousand Lights, The Cliffs of Ador.
- Added new Faction: The Lizrus Legion
- Added roughly 70 new quests.
- Added roughly 25 new items.
- Added a new type of quest which requires a minimum attribute to perform.
- Added new armor set as reward for hydra quests. (Don’t sell your faction token armor yet, you may need it still. *wink*)
- Spiders are now a Trade Good.
- Pink Poison is now a Trade Good, and can now be sold.
- Made minor adjustments to quest difficulties per feedback making them slightly easier.
Bug Fixes
- Achievement points will now update automatically when you earn an achievement
- Fixed a bug with the character creator flash file, it was crashing for some people and giving bizarre errors about keys
- The sound on/off button was acting very strangely. It’s been fixed now. UPDATE – we found out that it was calling the sound off script 58 times every time you clicked it. Our poor servers!
- Fixed the dark background behind the achievements, it wasn’t disappearing when it was supposed to be.
