Game Mechanics - 8 January 2003
There's been a recent spate of notes on Turf complaining about certain Hero issues and suggesting ideas for changes to the game at Hero level. In response we're composed a brief discussion of Turf's game mechanics which details why certain features such as taxes exist, how death affects experience points, and why we seem to ignore player ideas for Hero-level changes. If more points pop up in notes we might add more details, but hopefully you'll find this answers many of your questions.

Jupiter has set up a web-based discussion board for those wanting to discuss ideas and complaints in more detail: http://www.turf.org/clans/no/board/index.php?board=ideas.

Turf 4.20 - 14 May 2002
The latest version of Turf is out, with the most popular two changes probably being the renew skill and improved coronary care for the mobiles. There are loads, of changes, however, including lots of nice little touches from player ideas, some changes to clan voting policies, some PK changes, new socials, and a horde of changes to help players find equipment around the game.

As usual, be sure to read the full list of changes, and if you submitted an idea then see if it went in.

Turf 4.10 - 8 December 2001
Turf 4.10 features three new areas in the 30-40 range as well as an extension to Stargate, three new commands, shop markup, affects, and a config extension for automatically recalling from combat if link dead. There have been changes to the cauldron and herbs system to allow a greater range of more varied results. Many new commands should also accept 'all'/'all.' as their arguments in place of specific object names thanks to an major internal change in Turf. Expect more commands to accept 'all'/'all.' in the next version, as well.
