Insecure passwords
Fellow Illarionites, I'd like to remind you on the importance of a secure password. Account theft is a serious issue and while Illarion seems to be rather unaffected by this issue to this day, it's not a reason to be careless.
Passwords protect not only your Illarion account, but also your email adress, your ebay account and sometimes your credit card. You don't want to get those hacked, do you?
A very short research on the passwords that are used for Illarion by active players yielded that many use insecure passwords like:
123456
password
abc123
qwerty
illarion
Please review your password and ask yourself: Is it really secure? Insecure passwords, like names and existing words are a serious threat to your privacy!
A good password contains upper and lower case characters, numbers and special characters and must not contain existing words. A length of 10 or more characters is recommended. A good password could be generated like this: Think about a catchy sentence and take the first character of each word, like "I want to buy 6 roses for Brat Pitt!". This yields. "Iwtb6r4BP!".
Stay safe, GM Estralis

VBU Teaser Video
Everybody is working really hard on the VBU. So to show you what goes on, Rincewind created a little video with the new client and music written for it by Oganalp. Maybe or hopefully some of you get motivated to help scripting NPCs or quests when they get a glimpse at how the VBU will be like. You can even switch to Full HD and fullscreen. Keep in mind that everything, including the interface may still be changed. Enjoy!

Character specific sounds
[April Fools' joke] Fellow Illarionites, while development of the so called "very big update" makes good progress, we'd like to inform you about a new feature that needs your support.
As you might know, Illarion will feature an awesome sountrack, composed by Oganalp Canatan, see:
http://www.blindhand.com/
The music will be played individually for each player, depending on the location. With a small tweak in the server code by vilarion it will be possible to trigger sound effects in a likewise manner.
One application of this is to play character specific sound effects which are played for all surrounding characters. This might include battle cries, greetings or even swearing.
In order to include your sound effects in the new client that will be released with the VBU, we ask you to send your self recorded sound effects in time to estralis@illarion.org. Please mind the format requirements:
Waveform, 48000Hz, min. 1000kbps, 16 bit, Stereo, maximum length 3s

Improving the forumsecurity
Fellow Illarionites, in order to improve the security of the forum, some additional measures were taken. We expect these measures to reduce the number of spambots that flood the forum with advertisements.
Due to these changes, some of you might need to change the password used for the forum. Please chose a new password with at least 8 characters, including letters and numbers.
Also, a "captcha" system was installed to avoid spambots from registering. If you encounter any problems, please contact a forum administrator.
