[Game help] email

Syntax: email change <email address>
Syntax: email confirm <verification code>

Upon reaching level 2, Shattered Kingdoms will send a verification code to
the email address that was entered for your character during character
creation. Once you receive the code, login to the game and use the email
confirm <code> command to confirm your email address.

If you do not receive a code via email, please check your spam folder. If
this does not help, you can re-enter your address using the email change
<address> command and a new code will be sent to you. You may also
use this command to update your verified email address at a later date.

Your email address will never be divulged to any third party. Only Level 60
Admins can view your email address. Your address will only be used by the
server to relay important info about your character, such as password resets.

A confirmed email address is required for automatic password resets (coming
soon). It will also be required for various future in-game benefits.

Code: Changes: - Cannot get or junk items from the room while any fighting is taking place - Items from fallen PCs cannot be junked for a short period of time after death Exceptionally lame. Especially the first one, this is a huge buff to disarm, and makes it so that if your weapon is disarmed you are SOL. Also if you are weakened, or lose your adhesive medical strip due to dispel magic.

And yes, I did think about disarm before I added this.

The change to getting items while in combat is pretty lame. For several reasons...

Guess its time to start hoarding weapons for when you get disarmed you can just wear another.

IMO the only real place where this will screw players over is when fighting large amounts of NPCs and then getting dirt kicked and disarmed whilst fighting, or just getting spam disarmed.

If it turns out to be as horrible as the early whining makes it out to be, then I am prepared to make alterations. However, I'm going to give it some time before changing anything. As I said before, I'd thought about disarm and it's always seemed to be too weak for people to bother with seriously using it, especially over bash. Now people may have to think a bit more about what their priority is in combat. If nothing else, disarm will probably get more attention from me once people start using it more.

It's been noted that auto loot and auto gold are a bit more painful to use after this change. I'll be putting in an alteration so that auto loot and auto gold will work as before against NPCs.
