Added four more common fish species Ai.
Added a new aggressive fish species that roams certain waters.
Added a Utility vendor to the Jungle Camp.
You can now set vendor taxes in towns that your guild controls. To do this simply talk to your town magistrate.
Taxes will be collected and sent to your guilds treasury.
You can see how much taxes you have earned from a controlled town in the economist under "Controlled Town Taxes"
Players can see how much taxes they need to pay by talking to the town magistrate and when adding items to the vendors sell window.
You should now get a message when your magic reflect spell triggers.
Changes:
All guilded structures will now show the name of the owning guild under their display name.
Increased range checks when placing territory control towers, this means that the tower will need more flat ground to be placed.
If you login a F2P account making it your activated F2P account for that day and then sub that account and login again it will now be removed as your daily activated F2P and you can login another F2P account.
Fixes:
Swinging weapons longer than 4 meters from a mount now also adds a stamina penalty.
Fixed issue where splitting a stack while extracting gave you the "this is not a valid workbench"
Fixed issue where control towers would report that they grew when they didn't.
Fixed issue where taking towns at times could be impossible due to the town setting itself as "uncontrollable" due to timing issue in the server-boot.
Weapons can no longer lose less than 0 durability.
Weapons that have durability above their max durability will now reset that durability when used.
Patch Notes 1.87.05.02
Added:
Added a capture system for territory structures.
If a territory structure is under 50% of it's health and in another guilds territory than it's original owner it will be captured by the new guild.
This means that any guild can capture territory structures left on the map by other guilds by covering it with their guild stone radius or keep territory, but also that you can now sell entire TC towns to other guilds by trading the guild house covering the TC, and having the new guild place their guild stone in it.
Added faction scouts in or around cities, these npcs works like the faction recruiter but can only be used to get locations on other faction members.
Added a command to show your guilds alliances: /guild showally
Added a species of swimming Ai fishes that can be killed and looted.
Changes:
The command to show current guild wars is changed from /guild war to /guild showwar
Territory structures that haven't been fully built now counts as having no blunt defense value, making them a lot easier to take down than a built structure. Once the building has been completed it have its full defense value.
Weapons that are longer than 4 meters now takes a LOT more stamina to swing, this makes swinging a lance a bad idea.
Territory structures are now all updated to v2. Meaning they all take damage if they are outside of the owning guilds radius.
Opening a gate with a battering ram will now keep the gate open until a member of the owning guild closes it again.
Guild vendors now only buy items that cost 10c or under per 1 unit. This means that players need to go to town to sell expensive goods rather than simply handing it off to a safe vendor.
Added additional checks to make sure melee charges gets canceled when stamina gets too low.
Fixes:
Fixed timing issues that could cause alliance and war flags to not correctly work on the nodes.

Elementalism Phase 3 is out! Watch the trailer!
Patch 1.87.02.00 is released and with it the biggest magic school ever to be added to Mortal Online is finally completed.
We put together a little teaser to show of a couple of the 11 new spells that this phase brings to the game:
https://youtu.be/n7VEIOnrnxk
Phase 3 introduces a spell that raises the temperature in your zone.
This means that you can now create lightning storms by casting a cold wave and then a heat wave.
Lightning storms are dangerous but required to cast some of the new spells.
Be careful when you are playing around with mother nature however because too much weather changing will cause a new type of weather; chaotic weather.
Chaotic weather brings in a thick red fog that limits your viewing distance, it also heavily increases the amount of lightning strikes in the area.
This weather might be dangerous on its own but the spells you can cast by draining power from it are even more dangerous.
Call down massive meteor strikes, summon deadly fire protectors or blast several enemies with a chaotic blast.

The second phase of Elementalism has been patched and with it a bunch of new spells.

https://youtu.be/6AHn_85cQR4
The big addition from phase 1 is the ability to control and change the weather.
Elementalists can now lower the temperature in an area and also use spells that conjure snow or rain.
These new spells tie into the meat of phase 2: Spells that require a certain weather.
The spells added to this phase all require not only reagents but also either snow or rain.
Since casting these new spells often require some setup by the mage we can make them even stronger than the phase 2 spells!
