It is Wednesday, the 4th of February, and the following changes have been implemented:

- The identities 'perfume' and 'cologne' have been removed from their corresponding 'bottle/perfumebottle' and 'bottle/colognebottle' designs - going forward, you will need to use 'bottle' or 'perfume bottle'/'cologne bottle' as your primary nouns. This is to avoid having confusion with designs that attempt to describe the perfume/cologne rather than the bottle itself, which is designed to be used with perfumery.

- Artifact powers can no longer be instilled into cursed items (such as dath), as it circumnavigates various force skills (such as Bard's Seduce).

- We previously adjusted customization certificates so they can be used in place of 25 iron coins in all circumstances for customizations and it slipped through the cracks on announcing it. No more only using 1 per customization, or being unable to use them when changing item types!

- (IDEA 5890) You can now BLOODLINE RECORD <person> AS SIBLING to record another player as being your full-blooded sibling.
* This requires both you and the sibling to have no bloodlined parents.
* You can add extra siblings, so long as they also have no parents.

This was the most supported player-submitted idea in the system!

- You can now BLOODLINE RELATION <person> to check your blood relation to someone else. You can also BLOODLINE RELATION <person1> <person2> to check the blood relation between two people.

- (IDEA 6704) Elemental globes now cost 2 golden keystones in the milestone wares store, down from 3.

- (IDEA 8381) You can now use CITY PRIVS for an overview of the city commands available to you. It should be fairly comprehensive but feel free to bug anything you think should be on there that isn't.

- (IDEA 7946) You can now add 'PLAYTIME <hours>' as a rule to org credit sales. This restricts purchase for that ruleset to people whose average playtime meets that. By default, any new rules created will have this set to 3 hours, so you will need to explicitly set it to 0 to turn it off going forward. This is NOT applied to any existing/ongoing credit sales and rules - so you will need to update these yourselves if you want them!

- The handmirror artifact can be upgraded to level 2 to allow you to GAZE MIRROR <person> <worn item> to see that item in detail. For reasons we won't elaborate on, if you target a God with this, it will only work if they're an extant and in-character God.

- (IDEA 9539) You can now use the colour writing artifact for your personal histories and backgrounds.

- (IDEA 9542) You can use 'HERE' to refer to your current area when interfacing with quest commands, e.g. QUESTS ALL HERE.

- (IDEA 9528) The grapnel item can now be worn.

- (IDEA 9512) CERAMICS has been added as a pathable landmark.

- (IDEA 2798) There's now a city log entry when someone completes a weekly production quest.

- HELP DEFILEMENT AURA now exists.

- (IDEA 9428) You can now use the ANTIQUATED command to quickly see your antiquated artifact levels at a glance.

- (IDEA 7977) The area around the Portent/Glandor entrance is now mapped.
