Changes to Battlechess:

o Squares are now two rooms so as to make it easier to avoid room-based
instakills in fights.

o Limit to fights between players or players and mobs is now three
minutes instead of the previous six.

o You can now select the piece you want to be when joining. See
BATTLECHESS for full syntax.

o Numerous additions to make Battlechess more user friendly, including
more alerts and reminders when time is about to expire.

Thank you for the forum comments and suggestions on Battlechess!

Lots of bug fixes too:

o Being laetitia'd will now show if you are not gaining any benefit due
to having been chanted already recently.

o Upkeeping statues over 125 months left will no longer speed up time to
decay.

o Beast mobs loyal to a player organization like the Ebonglom Wyrdling
will now cry out for help in their own way on their loyal channel.

o Tarot cards flung through world tarot will respect grace properly.

o Hexaura detach now works properly when detaching the same type of hex
twice.

o World tarot's counter will be cleared when defences are usually
cleared (logout, death, etc).

o Ironwill(Psionics) now has a messages in DEFENCES.

o Demigods using essence in arena will not actually drain essence.

o Avatar auras will not work on people at different elevations or if the
Avatar is out of phase.

o Resurgem now checks if the person is in the process of resurrecting
(like from Transmigrate) like Immolation does.

o Resurgem was previously not always limiting resurrection to the same
plane. This has been fixed!

o Inquisition(Sacraments) has been returned in its time length before
announce 1103.

o Bug with absolving domoths not spawning mobs has been fixed.

o The curious case of someone able to instantly claim domoths has been
fixed as well!
