A world update is anticipated some time this month. Look for several new zones, interesting mobs and fun items. Immortal Promotion =================== In March of this year, Metgod was promoted to level 97 because of his dedication and time spent with code for Imagica. He still is the Asst. Master Builder, and will continue to help Lunah with houses as well. Mandos was also promoted, to level 96, as a Spellmaster to work on the spells and skills in Imagica.

It's said that the merchant paid quite a hefty amount of money for this privilege. One might wonder what the merchant is planning to build. Surely nothing can replace the glory of old Rome. *** It would appear that the charming half demon Tamlin has been sighted smiling at a young lady NOT named Florine. One might begin to wonder if the young man has forgotten all about Florine in her absence and sought distraction elsewhere, or what is going on? *** Rumor has it that Rhapsody has children! Triplets even! But who are they? And where are they, for that matter... *** A child has seemed to have joined the ranks of ADD. Dressed in pink satin and her head adorned in golden curls, she seems pretty harmless, but that seems to be far from the truth. Rumor also has it that she is the daughter of the Lord Fido. *** .-----------------------------------------------------------------. / .-. .-. \ | / \ / \ | | |\_. | ~~ Imagica Trivia ~~ | /| | |\| | /| |\ | |/| | `---' | | `---' | | |-----------------------------------------------------| | \ | | / \ / \ / `---' `---' The Blue Bird Bar that can be found in Ivy Grove was named so by Lunah (she helped the barkeeper set it up) as a tribute to LadyXera. She comments by saying that the bird is definitely blue. (Apparently this is some long standing argument between the two, whether the bird was blue or purple.) *** submitted by: Various .-----------------------------------------------------------------. / .-. .-. \ | / \ / \ | | |\_. | ~~ REI ~~ | /| | |\| | /| |\ | |/| | `---' | | `---' | | |-----------------------------------------------------| | \ | | / \ / \ / `---' `---' The REI team has added two members to their ranks. These new members are not immortal but have joined the team with the title of 'Roleplay Enhancement Mortal'. Amaranthys and Blip have already proven their worth with the submission of several objects and mobs that will be used to enhance roleplay in the near future. Being mortal players, they will give the REI team a fresh perspective on what other players are looking for. The team as a whole is working together with quest team on the next roleplay week, the theme of which will be 'Midsummer'. Roleplay week is anticipated for the middle or end of June. Keep an eye on the Imagica website (www.jimagica.net) and the quest board for details as we get closer to that date. submitted by: Crisstilynn .-----------------------------------------------------------------. / .-. .-. \ | / \ / \ | | |\_. | ~~ Building ~~ | /| | |\| | /| |\ | |/| | `---' | | `---' | | |-----------------------------------------------------| | \ | | / \ / \ / `---' `---' A new world update is in the works with a few new zones as well as some older zones updated. The goal for the next world update is the end of May. Metgod is working on updating the Imagica Building document since it's quite out of date at the moment. However there is so much updating to be done that we don't expect this to be completed in the nearest future. submitted by: Lunah & Metgod .-----------------------------------------------------------------. / .-. .-. \ | / \ / \ | | |\_. | ~~ Clans ~~ | /| | |\| | /| |\ | |/| | `---' | | `---' | | |-----------------------------------------------------| | \ | | / \ / \ / `---' `---' A clan challenge is currently underway in Imagica. SoS, ADD, and DIE are building zones for a chance to win an extra clan item. Building began on April 1, with each participating clan including at least 1/3 of their members in the planning and building processes. Each zone will be 75 to 100 rooms and must be in some way related to the clan that builds it. They will be judged by an immortal who is in no way involved in any participating clan as well as by a jury made up of one member of each of those clans. No clan member will be allowed to vote for their own zone. Judgement will be based on originality and creativity rather than skill in building. The challenge will end on June 1. .-----------------------------------------------------------------. / .-. .-. \ | / \ / \ | | |\_. | ~~ Quests ~~ | /| | |\| | /| |\ | |/| | `---' | | `---' | | |-----------------------------------------------------| | \ | | / \ / \ / `---' `---' The Quest Team has become a bit smaller with only a couple of active Questors. For this reason we've had to start holding quests only once a month rather than once every two weeks. Together with the REI Team we are also working on the next Role Playing week. A date has yet to be set, but it looks like the mid/end of June. submitted by: Lunah .-----------------------------------------------------------------. / .-. .-. \ | / \ / \ | | |\_. | ~~ Explorers Column ~~ | /| | |\| | /| |\ | |/| | `---' | | `---' | | |-----------------------------------------------------| | \ | | / \ / \ / `---' `---' "Some time ago, a series of enchanted caves were discovered near the black woods south of Howling Rock.
