- Made some changes to the way that house lockdowns/deed items work. This should be entirely behind-the-scenes sort of change, but it may break some extremely old items
- Fixed a minor problem with the marble horse statue (the fire wasn't lit up.) Unlock and replace the statue (if you have one) to fix this that haven't been moved for a long, long (long) time
- The WoD Art Museum has opened its doors somewhere in the world
- As previously promised, blacksmiths can laminate the toy soldiers to any ingot color
- Teddy bear shirts are now dyable with a standard dye tub

- Merry Christmas!
- When you log in, you will find 2 Christmas presents in your bankbox. These presents
are unmovable - you have to open them (by double-clicking them). When you open them,
you get to select one of a few possible presents...
A large stone dragon statue
The statue can face either left or down, and takes up 10 lockdowns. As a warning: This statue is BIG, as large as a real dragon. It may not be the best choice for people living in smaller houses...
A marble horse statue
Comes complete with burning brazier. The statue can face either left or down, and takes 3 lockdowns
A set of toy soldiers
You recieve all 5 soldiers in the set. They can be laminated to any color available in an ingot (actually, they can't, but soon they will)
A painting deed
When used, allows you to select any one of 9 special paintings. These paintings, when double-clicked, expand to allow you to see the details in the work (painting selection is final - you can't turn them back into a deed and pick another.)- An item repair kit. Repairs any weapon or piece of armor to brand-new, perfect
condition. Helpful hint from Santa: this probably isn't the best selection...
12-23-2003
- The WoD scripts have been updated
12-19-2003
- Fixed a typo on the status page
12-16-2003
- When you log in, you'll recieve your Christmas tree deed for the year. This deed can be used in your house to place a Christmas tree deed or, if you prefer, a menorah. The Christmas tree takes up 4 lockdowns (the menorah only 1)
12-12-2003
- A new version of the WoD files are now available. This is a required update for all WoD players. For more information, see the WoD board thread
12-10-2003
- A rather large number of old boats have now decayed. From now on, old boats will be deleted much more often than they have been in the past, so either drydock it or refresh the boat regularly (boats are refreshed by using them, such as sailing around in them)
- Added a new option to player merchant collect options: "collect gold" only gives you the gold the merchant is holding, and "collect items" only gives you the item. "collect" by itself still gives you both
12-06-2003
- Change to AG item quests (the ones where you have to find 'Bob's kryss in Despise' or the like): Now, only the person who was sent on the quest can/will find the item needed
- Increased the reward for AG item quests to try to make them more popular
