Hey folks, I have some good news and some bad news regarding a certain diabolical metal altar.

After examining the altar's code, Enbarr and myself elected to change the portion where you die and loose all your favors, no matter how many you had. There is now a maximum number of favors you may loose to it at one time, so if you keep a decent amount in stock you won't be left favorless by the altar any longer. That's the good news.

The bad news is that we are unable to compensate for the experience folks have lost in the past at this altar. This was an intended (and well-publicized) feature of the altar by the person who created it, and was not a bug. After reviewing the situation and the altar's code, we decided that a change was in order to make it still sting, but less harshly.

I appologize to those who have lost experience to this altar, and both Enbarr and myself express our deepest sympathies. It's no fun making up all those ranks, I've been there. I hope this change slightly eases some of the pain, at least. I wish we could do more.
