Greetings.

Thanks to some work by Armifer and Raesh (when he was still in training!), the majority of the Premium hunting areas listed in PREMIUM 6 are now more friendly to teleportation spells. Specifically: jump jewelry (Plat item), teleport, contingency, riftal summons and whole displacement are updated. Moongate is more difficult to update and will receive these upgrades at a later time. Likewise, the HUNT verb will see some updates at a later time.

These areas should now properly take advantage of a new mechanic available to us to block basic players from Premium areas without denying Premium/Platinum players the use of these spells/abilities.

For example, when moongate is updated, it will allow for gating dead characters out or help in, but only for players normally able to access the areas (Premium). A basic player would be blocked from the gate.

For areas that use the "Premium lead" mechanics to bring non-Premi friends in, the non-Premium folks will still NOT be able to use these abilities. This is intentional.

This update has been active in Plat since the weekend without any explosions and is now live in Prime. TF will follow pending a continued lack of explosions.

If you notice any oddities, please respond in the Estate Holders of Elanthia category.
