Hello, 2015. Tweaks, changes, bugfixes.

• What’s New:
  • Notification on login when someone sent you a message while you were offline.
• Changes:
  • Crafted items no longer fall behind crafting stations.
  • Tweaked pixel-per-NPC formula – gives a little bit more and the level-difference doesn’t have such a big impact.
  • More information displayed on new-world dialog window.
  • Chosen estate’s borders are rendered with another color (making estate identification easier if you named them similarly).
  • Static objects can be placed/removed by holding the left/right mouse button, making creation of bigger structures less tiring.
  • No more exp for placing tiles – that made leveling far too easy.
  • Weapons now degrade by hitting destructibles (like ore veins or destructible trees).
  • Additional information on the premium features dialog.
  • Repair features of construction skills implemented; the base repair condition is 60% an can be increased to 100% via skill.
• Bugfixes:
  • Fixed wrong entries in the Ambient and Music lists in the region editor.
  • When giving more pixels than needed during NPC pixel trades, the surplus pixels aren’t lost anymore.
  • Incorrect respawn point activation when teleporting to another world.
  • Fixed some spawners so objects or NPCs don’t spawn behind collision.
  • Fixed a client bug that seemingly produced faulty static objects under certain circumstances.

• 100% coin-refund for selling estates and worlds.

A long time has passed since the first release of Gonzo. Now we’re back with a new name, a new look and lots of new features!

• Server Reset:
  • The Seed of Gonzo is now Gardens of Gonzo
  • Due to massive changes in vital game systems many items became obsolete. Those you will not see again. On the other hand many new items made it into the game.
  • Some estates and worlds have been deleted. All items of all players (except for doors and labels) have been deleted.
  • All players have been reset to level 0 and teleported back to the Newbie Hut.
  • Due to some inconsistencies while importing the old homepage, the forum content is lost. Sorry for that.
  • The old game client won’t update itself anymore. Please download the new one.

  • Greatly Improved Graphics Engine; new effects, lights, day/night-cycles, clouds, water shader…
  • Many New Skills.
  • Premium System Introduced. There is now a (growing) bunch of special features for premium players only.

  • Substantially improved world saving speed and safety.
  • Resolved issue where big packets lead to network congestions.
