weather

As predicted, there are some bugs in weather, and I've turned off weather for now. I'm leaving town for new year's festivities tomorrow, and will be back on Sunday. Soon after I'm back, we will turn the system back on. In the meantime, I will probably add an ability (possibly into Survival, possibly just a non-skill related command) that will let you see the current weather in your location in terms of humidity, wind, temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, etc. Newbies under level 10 won't be affected negatively by cold either.

In the meantime though, those of you who have been walking around nekkid (why you would not want to wear clothes is beyond me!) should get some clothes and sort yourself out. Remember that some parts of Sapience are fairly cold (Vashnars in particular), and that you will have to be bundled up quite well to survive them during the winter. Further, the Frost miniskill will help you avoid negative effects of cold, as will the WEATHER ability that you have (which won't stop negative effects, it'll just affect you like wearing some extra clothing would.)

Penned by my hand on the 19th of Ero, in the year 237 AF.
