Bug Fixes, (QOL) Changes & Reworked Content

• @job stopped working once you hit level 50+ without picking a second job. You can now use it at any level above 30 to advance.
• Just like @week, @quest now shows 'updated {x} seconds ago' in its window, plus a manual refresh button.
• DP Dungeon higher level tiers now scale better with the obtainable damage cap. Read more
• Monster images in @week now load properly.
• Anti-cheat overhaul to stop false positives from blocking your game from starting. This should solve 99% of them.
• Tracker windows (@tracker, @fishtracker, @week, @quest, @clog, @daily) now reconnect automatically after a connection hiccup instead of stopping with "Lost connection". Your numbers stay on screen while they reconnect, and buttons can no longer accidentally apply twice. If your session really expires, the window tells you which command to type to reopen it.
• Base fishing rates are now 10% better: every worm earns about 10% more Fishing Coins on average. This change is based on player feedback.
• Vote announcements are now much quieter: the server only announces your first vote of the day, plus anyone who wins the Donation Point on vote #10. Rewards are unchanged, and votes past the daily cap are still recorded but no longer announced.
• The Burning Stage bonus no longer spams your chat every minute. You now get a short on-screen notice when you enter a burning instance, when your bonus changes, or when you equip or remove the Firestarter Ring. Type @burning any time to see your current bonus in chat.
• Daily gift claims are no longer announced to the whole server, so chat stays cleaner. You still see your own reward in the @daily window or Doofus dialog when you claim it.
• When you log in without having claimed today's daily gift, you now get a short reminder in chat. It tells you which day's reward is waiting, or that a new streak is starting. It only shows on login, not when changing channels.
• Fixed a damage scaling bug: Overpower, Total Damage and Boss Damage multiply each other, so at very high values they stacked well past the intended damage range. Damage caps, All Stat%, EXP, Drop and Meso are not affected.
• Every time you log in, you now get a chat reminder for anything still waiting in @donate (donations, compensation, items sent by a GM and monthly worms), with how many items are waiting. The reminder keeps showing until you claim them.
• The @asiaroute command has been retired. The Asia (Singapore) relay is now managed by the server and applied automatically where it helps.
• All in-game windows (@week, @daily, @quest, @clog, @tracker, @fishtracker, @diceboard and @pgb) now share one consistent dark-blue style that matches the new window header. Colors were adjusted for readability; layouts and features are unchanged.
• The Mu Lung Dojo stat soft cap now only counts your Bossing/Dojo bonus values, so bonuses from quests, achievements, links and nebulites no longer push your chosen stat over the cap. A stat that is already your lowest is never redirected, and you now get a message when a redirect happens. Bonus messages show both your Bossing/Dojo value and your total @bonus, and the Random stat option no longer favors EXP.
• Opening widgets like @week and @daily no longer posts a "[GM] You have received a letter" chat message or shows an envelope icon.
• You can now start the game directly from MSK.exe as well as through the HempMS Launcher. The anti-cheat still checks your game files on every start, and if they're out of date it makes you run the launcher to update them.
• Talking to the Black Mage and the Demon King no longer hides the dialog text behind their huge artwork. Their dialogs now show a smaller portrait, while the NPCs on the map keep their full size.

New

• @effect now has 3 levels and only affects what you see of OTHER players:
  • @effect 2 - shows all skill effects
  • @effect 1 - hides their attack animations (the old "off")
  • @effect 0 - also hides their buff casts, summons, buff glows and non-poison mists
  Type @effect to cycle, or @effect 0/1/2 to pick one. Your setting is saved.
• @slow has been replaced by @speed <80-500>, which sets your movement speed to an exact value. The setting is saved per character, survives relogs, and isn't affected by Haste or Banner of Speed. Use @speed off to go back to your normal speed (mounts and certain transform skills still use their own speed).
• @tracker and @fishtracker now have a mini version: @tracker mini and @fishtracker mini. They take up less screen space while still showing your most important stats.
• @database now directly opens the website database, just like @guide opens the Google Document with our Starter Guide.

Other

• Crypto donations that arrive slightly short because of network fees (up to 1% less than the order amount) are now delivered automatically instead of getting stuck. Larger underpayments are flagged to staff for a manual check, and an order can never be delivered twice.
• General server protection and security have been heavily improved.
• The Starter Guide is now pretty much complete!
