    MAJOR Magewar Changes!

    MAJOR Magewar Changes! For those of you unfamiliar with Magewar, I suggest you do a 'help magewar' and/or join the magewar channel to talk to people about this great game designed by Fingolfin and implemented by me, Razan. :) Magewar's been around for a while now but up until now it was 'tied' to a single character. So all of your characters had their own cards and couldn't combine them. So, now for the changes! Magewar now REQUIRES that you participate in the account system. This is going to be mandatory in the near future anyway, so get used to it. See 'mychars help' to read about it. Once you login after this change your Magewar album will be converted to (version 2.0) :). This version is a linked album between all the characters associated with your account (through mychars). It will automatically convert all your cards, magewar bank, and magewar decks over into this combined version. Your decks will be renamed charactername_deckname. In this way, if you had two characters Foo and Bar and both had decks name 'awesome' it will name them foo_awesome and bar_awesome. Feel free to rename them, delete them, etc afterwards - just do 'album dlist' to look at your decks and edit them. Some of the commands for Magewar will be slower based on the way I implemented it. However, some will be faster and it WILL use a lot less disk space - not to mention now being combined with all your characters! If you have NOT set up your 'mychars' account yet, then the deck will self destruct telling you this is the problem. Your old cards will not disappear, don't worry - just set up an account and then on login it will be fine. This also means you will no longer get NEW cards from killing monsters until you set up an account and have a valid album. I have backed up all cards prior to this change in case someone major goes wrong. The top card list will be invalid for a few days until I fix it so please just ignore it. I've changed the tradeshop so there is no minimum cost of putting up ANY card (well, it's 1 coin) so we should see a true auction house develop. People who have cards up for the previously really high prices feel free to take them down and put them up for more reasonable prices. Don't forget you can 'give' cards now too - so you can do your own trading. There may be bugs so I need players to report them to my attention. This was a complicated change so let's try and find what's broken and get it fixed. Enjoy. - Razan.
