Invasion on Mezno island

Either fight the invasion or grab a keg of rum and join up with the pirates before the invasion is over!

Stricter enforcement of chat

From the Announcements forum:

"Up to this time the game rules had only been enforced as rough guidelines for behavior, which is what had been M2H's wish from the beginning of Syrnia. Inappropriate language and behavior was loosely enforced, and most players never had issue with this and chat remained a friendly and civilized place to hang out and spend time with Syrnian friends.

Due to recent events over the last few months, with repeated incidents of players intentionally testing the limits of the individual mods tolerances to inappropriate behavior and inappropriate language, It has been decided that these allowances will no longer be given.

Any adult, inappropriate, or lewd behavior including innuendo will no longer be permitted or tolerated. Profanity or cursing will be given zero tolerance as well. ( These rules enforced to whatever degree Moderator deems appropriate.)"

Whilst profanity is a good reason to mute someone, it seems you wont be able to sneeze without getting muted soon......

Are you happy that chat will be enforced with less discretion? Do you not think its a good idea? Whatever you opinion on the subject, feel free to share it here.

Outlands Fighting

Wearing just a steel suit and carrying about 250hp of food, I headed off into the outlands to do some fighting. On Saturday night I found no one there so tried again on Sunday and found a few higher level players fighting.

I got taken down to 2hp at one time when Fritz and Syraid both attacked me at the same time. Fritz and Stormz got me down to 5hp a little earlier. Due to the level difference I didn't do too much damage to them.

On my first ever trips across the outlands, I ran through as fast as I could and I thought I saw many people fighting. It took me a while to realise that each OL location has its own logs of combat there and that it wasn't one log that was constantly updating!! It was later that I also found out that if a player attacks another in the outlands, the attacked player automatically hits back. So attacking a high level player who hasn't noticed you, could still be deadly for you :)

Bandits Attacking

From the forums:

Upcoming plans have been exposed. A rogue agent infiltrated the bandit ranks, and have informed the royals of Syrnia of their next massive upcoming invasion.

What say you, shall we ruin their plans?

This is the first time I have seen an advance warning this early before. Hopefully this is the first part of a syrnia storyline... ;)

Syriet ideas

Fritsz has created a page with some ideas for how Syriet 'could' be implemented into the game and there is an interesting discussion about this in the forum.

Fighting at Ogre town and outpost

With the limited time I have had at the pc this weekend all I have done is fought a few ogres.


At the outpost im making kills in 2 or 3 hits, with the occasional one hit kill. Its taking more hits at Ogre town due to the Rorghark Bonebreakers. I'll post some combat reports in comments

The drops are nice and often you get none for ages then three within minutes of each other. There were quite a few carrots, 40 wood, 6 silver ore and over 200 seeds (grain, strawberry, carrot, tomato, onion and corn) which are all small drops but have a nice value when added together. As a fighter I will grow the seeds for the food.

The better drops I got were:
1 x Amber
2 x Moonstones
2 x Ogre Hatchets
3 x Locked Moldy Chests
1 x Locked Toolbox

Selling the above items will make me roughly 6500 gold, which I will spend to by another 3000hp of food.
