The Juicy Stuff
Morning all. It's a big day, so let's get right into the juicy stuff.
- Mahogany Hall, a grand sequence of new adventures for the very shadowy and persuasive, is open for business. The entry storylet is in your Lodgings, under "Open a way to other parts of the city". Mahogany Hall is the biggest content release we've ever done: more than 60 storylets featuring a rogues' gallery of mesmerists and charlatans, singing princesses and sinister cult leaders. Educate a Clay Man, learn the secret arts of spiritualism, perform your own stunning feat of illusion and escapology, delve deeper into the mystery of the Iron Box, or just kick back and enjoy the theatrical atmosphere. We're very proud of Mahogany Hall; we hope you'll enjoy it too.
- The Exceptional Friends subscription service is now live. More details and a rousing discussion on the subject can be found here, but a brief recap follows.
- The action cap for free players is now 40 per day, with an extra 10 for an echo to your social network.
- Subscribers to the Exceptional Friends scheme can benefit from an extra candle and 80 action per day, with an extra 20 actions available for an echo to your social network, plus no more ads at the bottom of the screen.
- Anyone who has ever bought any Fate, ever, since the first day of beta to ten AM this morning, gets a week of Exceptional Friend membership free, as a thank you for supporting the game.
- If you've already got a second candle, you're an Exceptional Friend right now, and your candle has been extended for a week too.
- All menace thresholds have been raised to eight, to bring them into line with nightmares.
- Those of you with a dead rat in your pocket and a sentimental bent may find you have the opportunity to give the poor beastie a decent burial.
- Finally, a number of new items are available in the Bazaar: new suits and gowns for newcomers, corsets, monocles, a poisoned umbrella and a Bengal Tigress.
- Just to reiterate: YOU CAN BUY A TIGER AT THE BAZAAR.
Cheers
