Connection Improvements

We have been investigating some individual reports of issues with lag spikes or disconnecting from some users over the last couple of weeks.  We have been taking these kinds of reports seriously and working with our upstream hosting provider and ISP to look into these issues, specifically affecting players from the South Americas region.

We've since received update that some routing and bandwidth improvements have been made which should hopefully improve performance for these players.

If you do and/or are still experiencing connectivity issues, we would like to know, as we still always strive to improve the quality of play on Nostalther. If you believe you may still be experiencing these kinds of problems, please submit a ticket via Discord.

Account Security Updates

Some updates and improvements have been made to account security on the Nostalther Violet webpage regarding registered email address, passwords and account changes.

Firstly, the email verification system has been improved. You were previously able to change the registered email address on your account at will. Now, if your email address has been verified, submitting a request to change your email address will now submit an email change request that will take 14 days to approve. Once the waiting period has expired, you must log back into your account to confirm the change. After changing your email address, the new email address will be non-verified and will require verification again. (Non verified email addresses can still be changed at will)

Character deletion has a 7 day waiting period. However now, instead of being deleted automatically after this period, you will need to log back into your account to confirm or cancel the deletion. This is to avoid any accidental account deletion from occurring. Characters pending deletion are now also hidden from the character list in game. 

Further to these changes, submitting any request to change your email address or password will send an email notification to the email address that is registered with the account. (Please note that these email notifications will only be sent if the email address on the account has been verified

Thank you for playing Nostalther!

House and Rent Changes

Players that own a house that they are no longer eligible own will no longer be able to pay rent on that house until they meet the requirements for owning that house. IE If a player owns a guild hall and is not a guild leader OR if a free account player owns a house that has more than 1 bed, is larger than 25 tiles or belongs to Darashia, Ankrahmun or Port Hope, they will not be able to pay rent, even if they have money in their depot. 

Further to this, the rent price of most houses has been increased. Currently the house rent price is approximately 50gp per square tile in the house, but this previously did not count walls that can have hanging items, tiles that contained beds, ovens, dustbins, casks, tables or statues. The change in rent prices for houses will be reflected on the website. 

This change comes to address the number of houses owned by accounts that have since stopped playing and let their premium time run out, or players that had purchased houses and traded them to players that do not meet the requirements for owning that house. 

Some further updates will also be introduced soon for Guilds that will require multiple Vice Leaders to remain active and also free account players will soon no longer be able to benefit from offline regen from sleeping in beds. 

These changes are coming in as there are a number of accounts currently taking advantage of the situation. These accounts will now need to contribute back into the economy by purchasing premium account from from the shop or trading other players.
