Important Information
13th June 2009
The last few months on Oblivion have been slow and there is little new. Summer has come to the US and we're all scattering from our homes to have fun in the sun. Don't let that stop you from checking out our new event "Ghettoish". Ghettoish is a PvP combat event. Makes sure to bring a skilled toon. If you ever played Ghetto PvP this may strike some similarities. I hope it does, as this is my attempt to bring back that style of event. Having never played Ghetto PvP I did the best I could. At any rate, I hope you will come on and join us!
Also, the daily event schedule has been retooled. Paintball and CTF are still on Monday and Wednesday nights, respectively. Assault has returned to Sundays, but now at 9pm. Bomberman with GM Erast has slipped onto Tuesday nights at 9. Thursdays will now see a variety of events, and will depend on the GM on that night as to what runs. Last but certainly not least is the long awaited return of Miner Wars to Friday night! I hope to see you all there, and check the events schedule for full details on all our events.

A few days ago finally the players of New Challenge where able to retake the town of Lake Shire, gaining their first foothold in this strange new land.
The new town allowed the establishment of a hub for commerce, craft and fight by gaining access to the network of merchants that travel the lands importing objects of all sorts.
This was the result of the combined effort of every player in the land, from the brave warriors to the skilled crafters.
The warriors, mages and archers of the land gathered the Dust from the undead creatures themselves, allowing The Wise to cast a powerful spell that finally broke the undead magic that infested the town.
Soon, the top three in the list of heroes will be rewarded with a special item, to recognize their efforts.
Have Fun! ~Arael

Arael's New Challenge facet is now up and running! It launched earlier today, as did it's own space on our forum. We're keeping an eye out for bugs, and have started a thread for you to post any you find.
Report Bugs Here!
I'd also like to take a moment to mention that we've opened up the sixth character slot. You won't have to delete any of your normal toons to make one for New Challenge. Just be careful and follow the directions when making your New Challenge toon. You can see the instructions for creating your NC toon here.

Admin Q let me know a short time ago that a change to the Felucca rule set made it into to this update. As most of you know, we have had a difficult time finding a way to utilize Felucca. The rule change is a simple AND ALTERABLE one. Felucca is now NO LOOTING. This is enforced by code. PK and PvP is still permitted and encouraged, but looting is gone. We are hoping that this will encourage people to go to Felucca and experience PvP. This will also allow us to add items, quests and monsters unique to Felucca. Call it a great experiment.
Many other new things were added in this update, but since I'm not a dev I can't list them for you! Besides, you want to be surprised right? I can tell you that a few gm tools were added, as were new deco items. I expect the deco store will be reopening very soon also!

A lot of changes are in the works, including the highly anticipated "New Challenge" facet. GM Erast, his smurf and I are hard at work spawning the new area. We still have much to do, including a pending shard update. This will be a massive update, and will include fun, new items for the deco store, new spawns for my personal pleasure in killing you, and even a few grammatical error corrections. (Yes, I did pass 5th grade and it only took me 3 tries!)
There will also be some surprises, and although I'm sure you want to know what they are now, you'll just have to wait!

The bell hunt is now over! A lot were turned in, but three players were above all. Hades (1290), Seregon (1200) and Topaz (1125) were our top three, and all took home special prizes. Santa will think twice about returning to Oblivion! Thank you all for ridding us of his presence yet again!

The 2008 Christmas Bell Hunt has begun! Christmas spawns were placed earlier this week, and the bells are flowing. Bells can be used to purchase special decorative items available only for Christmas, including GM Angel Dolls! (The Fester one is especially nice) 75 Bells gets you of your own.
The Christmas Shoppe has all the deco items you can purchase with bells. In addition to those items, the prizes for the top three bell collectors are on display there. At the end of the Christmas season, we will count all the bells you turn in. The players with the three highest totals will all win one of those special prizes! So go check out the Christmas Shoppe today! You'll find it in the Ore of Vesper building and if you're not sure where that is, just follow the trail of snow from Vesper square. It will lead you right to it.
