• News at a quick clip
- Now bards run faster.  You know, because they did not run fast enough before.
- The slow effect on the Willsapper proc has been reduced.  You know, because they did not run fast enough before.
- Monk weight allowance has been increased.  You know, because they did not run fast enough before.
- Now the lighties will see how much damage the spell did to them in the chat window when hit.  You know, because they did not run fast enough before.
 
• Oh sure, because before it was too hard to. . . WHAAAAA?
From the patch message:
- Added the ability to change the color of all windows at one time with /wincolor (all windows that can be changed, that is). You can now use /wincolor ALL 0 0 100 2, for example, instead of having to set each window separately.
Ok, am I the only one who had NO CLUE that windows changed color before?   
 
• Inquiring Knobs want to know!
From the Ars Patchica:
Added /charinfo command. Currently this command only reports the zone where the current character is bound.  We may add further information as things progress.
Woop-de-fuck.
 
• How about "This is just plain weak"?
Someone wrote in to Alan worried that he might have to cut an extra hour out of his EQ time.  Now sure, that hour is between 5AM and 6AM EST, but lets not argue with the crazy man.  Remember, whineplay went offline to cut down on negativity, not stupidity.
A bi-WEEKLY patch schedule? I really hope that is supposed to say bi-MONTHLY, because the servers goin down once a week is not good but twice?
Actually, biweekly can mean either every two weeks or twice each week.
And bimonthly can mean either every two months or twice each month.
Confusing, I know.
Here on PIRATEnews is our special guest Sinklar.  Sinklar has invested a great deal of time and money studying English and earning advanced degrees in the subject.  He brings a unique, shirtless, perspective to today's Alan update.  Sink?
Alan is a RAYtard.
Indeed.  Thanks you old bear molester.   
 
• Clerics are useful, unique, and get a pet!
No, wait.  My bad.  Now the delete button tells you what you are destroying. The next step is hiring a nanny to show you a flashcard of what you are destroying so you don't accidentally destroy your epic weapon.
 
• Ivenous begins to not give a damn!
The patch message contained good news for people who need to role-play their pain.   Now the text that flies by so fast that it is unintelligible will be more unique.   Hey that's really much more important than coding something useful!
Panic Animal (soandso flees in a state of total panic!)
Terrorize Animal (soandso runs away in terror!)
Repulse Animal (soandso is utterly repulsed!)
Acumen (soandso's eyes tingle)
Let's bring Sinklar out again!
Yeah, those are some great brackets there.  Look, he's a fucking RAYtard.  What do you want from me?
Well at least he does not steal limes eh?
Buy some dentures and bite me.
Heh ok.  Fair enough.  See you at 11!
That's all for PIRATEnews.  Goodspeed Ladies and gentletrolls and all rafts at sea.
