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!

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.

The spider and Hydra populations have been growing and expanding around the jungle of Tiquanda and west side of Kha'zeel.

The Minotaurs of the Devourer desert have also found a new nearby location and began rebuilding and expanding their territory. 

Pesky elves have been scouting and have built a camp nearby in Fog Bay, training their army to attack their enemies at Ulderek's Rock.

Female warriors have been sighted and the Orcs have been expanding their territory on Rookgaard. Including a few other mysteries to discover. 

NPCs who sell furniture now also sell Hammers. Hammers can be used to remove some of the unmovable furniture in your house, such as Casks, Ovens, Big Tables. (Note that benches and counters in shops can not be removed).

Furthermore, some new items, including the removable furniture from houses, can now be purchased from the shop. 

New decorative additions to the web shop have been added. Check out the shop to see the new items available you can use to make your house really stand out! 

With today’s server save there has been a full map clean, as well has a wave of updates, improvements, adjustments and alterations. 

Firstly there have been some adjustments to monster AI, pathing, targeting, as well as pathing in general and in addition, further improvements to the map click reliability for those using Nostlather OTClient.

There have been several changes around the world. A small hostile elf camp has sprung up outside Carlin, the cyclops camp south of Thais has expanded, large wolves have built a den outside Ab’Dendriel, dwarves have invaded Cormaya and the dead have begin to rise in the Darashian deeper catacombs. A secret passage to the outskirts of Mintwallin and a way into the dragon lord lair near the Pits of Inferno have also been discovered. 

Several existing NPCs in game will now also have some new missions to be completed for special rewards and unlocking new unique and custom outfits. A hunters logbook can also be purchased form these NPCs which can be used to track certain monster kills. 

A Football and Ice Hocky arena have also been built in Thais. This stadium ma be used in  future events, but anyone is free to play.
