- The Paladin class is getting some interesting changes this year!

- Developer Notes - The change to Auto Hammer gives the Paladin some wacky (no pun intended) new possibilities. Sell, Transmute and Flux your Hammers, as often as you'd like! The change to Holy Hammer allows a Paladin to use the skill more strategically and more often. It's a bigger buff that it might seem at first sight. The change to Hammer Of Justice removes the complexity of the range it used to have. Now Paladins can fight against players who are far ahead. A nerf to its cooldown was needed to compensate though. Lastly, Divine Blessing made Paladin a huge counter to Curses and Diseases. Now it'll only remove one effect of each type, making it harder to use. The lower cooldown compensates a bit, but it's definitely a bit of a nerf.

- Fair Trade Talent - Cooldown after swapping items back has been reduced to 3 turns, down from 4.
- We've finally reached the truly interesting class changes! Behold, the Merchant patch!

It may lead to him making a lot of faulty assumptions, so we need your feedback to help us improve him. Let us know what you notice via the forum or support tickets in-game. All feedback is very welcome!

- The Hungrier Games is this week's Wild Mode!
- Several months ago we made updates to how effects that trigger on a fixed interval work. This introduced a change that wasn't intended, namely that effects that don't trigger when you're dead would still reset their interval counter. For example, the Voidcaller race gives you an item every 3 turns, but only when you're alive. In the past this effect would simply wait for the first turn when the player is alive, but due to the update months ago it would reset the interval, meaning that being dead when the effect triggered would cause you to miss out on that item entirely. We've fixed this and such effects will now remain stuck on an interval counter of 1 turn until you're alive again.

- Flow Of Magic's movement has been reduced to 3 spaces, down from 3-5 spaces. Overall the movement was a bit too high, so we felt it was right to tone it down a bit. By removing the randomness, the movement is now completely reliable, giving it a lot of strategic power instead.

Cardassian - Cooldown reduced to 5 turns, down from 6 turns.

- Addicted Bear - Bears fucking love Cocaine! When the Bear doesn't kill you, it won't take up your full turn.

- Art has been added to the Christmas Mistletoe event!
- A lot of events no longer take up your turn, but now allow you to continue your turn as usual. These are events that are forced upon you by the game, which could lead to some frustration. For example, you might queue your Wildcard: Shops for your next turn, only to suddenly have Santa cockblock you! Damn that jolly old Saint Nick! Anyway, the following events have been updated:
- The Bear - No longer takes up an event. Chase it away and carry on with your turn!
- Class Choice - Never took up your turn. Now also doesn't take up a turn in Classy Combos.
- Hall Of Heroes - Pick your blessing and continue your turn!
- Life Choices
- Santa - About time! Now being nice can finally feel truly rewarding. Hohoho!
- Reference Events - All of these no longer take up your turn when the reference event is chosen. Board Game Of Thrones and Ooo have undergone some extra changes.

- Hungry Games Victor - Pick your legendary ring and move on with your life! Go on a diet maybe?
- Santa's Workshop has had a revamp. The workshop has been expanded with a massive amount of new toys!

- The new Unstable mechanic has been added to the game. Unstable items fade away after several turns, so you'd best make good use of them before they're gone!
- The Reality Stone and the Voidcaller race now produce Unstable items.
- Dark Spell: Disarm now Disarms a player for 1 turn, down from 2 turns. It now costs 7 Rupees, down from 10 Rupees. Developer notes: The Disarm Spell is an excellent tool to stop another player from performing actions inside an event or to stop them from using all their items and skills to swoop over the finish line. Its duration and availability did lead to a lot of frustration though. There are already many things in BGO that can basically render you unable to do anything. Now seemed like a good time to tone that down a bit.
- Dark Spell: Polymorph now always gives 2 Karma instead of a random amount of 1-3 Karma.
- The Achievement Point to Power Point cap has been raised! Every player with 1500 or 2000 Achievement Points has earned 1 or 2 Power Points!

- We've made several improvements to melee weapons:
- The following artifacts now perform a melee attack: Claíohm Solais, Hofud, Kris Of Empu Sandring, Kronos' Sickle, Mjölnir, Odin's Shieldbreaker, Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar, Spear Of Destiny, The Grim Reaper's Scythe and The Glory Of Ten Powers. These attacks cannot be blocked with a Shield, Thick Hide or evasive effects like Hallucination.
- The Amethyst Lightsaber now performs a melee attack on every target hit. These attacks can be evaded.
- For consistency we now classify melee attacks as attacks where a player hits another player with a weapon that they are holding. This means that throwing Mjölnir doesn't classify as a melee attack, but thrusting it forward and then bashing someone's head in does count as a melee attack.
- Frozen items displayed in the event screen will now have their icons displayed as frozen.
- A bug with the two new quests not properly updating after finishing a game has been fixed.

- A bug with the Fruit Bat stealing non-fruity Bow & Arrows has been fixed.

Especially in cases where a lot of stuff happens at once, we think the small pauses make it a bit more entertaining to watch. :)

- The second new class of BGO: Level UP has been revealed! Read about it on Kickstarter!
- A huge new patch has gone live, full of code optimizations. The optimizations are especially noticeable when you have a LOT of items in your inventory and have "item selects" open (screens that allow you to choose an item).

The Arcane Egg has been added to the game!
- Awwww sheet! Seems like Holly placed her big, perky butt on one of our big shiny buttons! Unfortunately this has caused that freaking Actually Pretty Radical Item Loot mode (which is long for A.P.R.I.L.) to activate again! We're doing our best to fix the damage to our servers, but it may take us a couple of days to clean up this mess. Damn you, Holly! You purple maniac!
- Today's tweaks

- Considering the insane power level of the Winterfell Catapult, we've decided to give you a 100% chance to crash and die when used.

- Artifact tweaks
- To increase the realism of the item, Brahmastra's cooldown is now 24 hours rather than 24 turns. This isn't a flat out nerf, because it's a buff in games where players take things slow. Perfect balance!

- Mjölnir can now only be lifted by those who are worthy.
- Spear Of Destiny's cooldown has been increased to 8 turns to make it more balanced.

- We've received a lot of complaints that the Barbarian and Druid classes are just too similar. Both very roary and primal. We've decided to listen to the community and will soon merge them into the all new Barbearian class! This class transforms into various hairy men (or women, or anything in between), doing a ton of roaring, mauling, pouncing, dry humping and groaning.
- The Quantum Physicist skill Schrödinger's Box no longer gives you a 50% chance to die when the effect wears off, but instead gives you a 50% chance to stay alive.

- The Necromancer skill Command Undead is now called Control Undead for Windows users.

- To solidify its class identity, Merchants now only get shop events.

- The Tesseract has been changed. Its first Cards Of Fate cost has been increased to 7 Pulses, up from 5. The Tesseract now has 100 Lives and loses 1 Life for every space it absorbs. After absorbing 100 spaces (losing all its Lives) it gets a single use: to move forward equal to the remaining spaces and Pulses stored. When you use it, the item is destroyed and all your Skill cooldowns are reset. Talk about going out with a bang!
- Fixed a bug where players who died from Wound Of Arsalan didn't lose Skip-A-Turn and Incapacitation.
- Fixed a bug where a Niffler could steal itself, which made a part of the universe implode.
The Shapeshifter's Egg has been added to the game!- A recently introduced bug that caused explosions to not properly count as kills has been fixed.
- The Jinxed Jewel Of Death now properly resets its counter when it goes to another inventory.
- Soul Speed now always gets its duration extended when stacked.
The Mecha Egg has been added to the game!- Almost all Spells that use player targeting have received some improvements. For example, Spells that don't stack now gray out targets who are already affected by that Spell. Another example is that Dark Spell: Spellsteal now shows all the Magic Buffs you can steal!

- 10 New Achievements have been added to the game!
- Now that Rupees are visible in the interface, the Auction event's "silent bidding" wasn't so silent anymore. The event has been changed to fix this. You can now bid any amount of Rupees when the Auction event pops up. If you have less Rupees than your bid when the Auction event ends, your bid will become your total amount of Rupees.
Example time! Player A has 5 Rupees and bids 10. Player B has 20 Rupees and bids 8. When the event ends, player A's bid was too high, so it becomes their total: 5. Player B has enough Rupees, so their bid stays 8. Player B wins the Auction. - Bulletproof now protects you from being shot by a Gun that was attracted by an ACME Magnet.
- We've added new tech to the game that allows the game interface to properly understand the specific Spells items are charged with. For example, the Bear event has logic for Death and Blind, but any Charged Dark Wand would be shown as an option, because the interface didn't know which Spell it was charged with. From now on, ANY Spell item charged with the right Spell will be shown as an option. Otherwise, it won't be shown. The following events have been updated:
- The Archaeology Dig
- The Bear
- Salem The Cursed Cat
- Wild West Bad Guy
- The Rupees of all players are now shown in the game interface. Some player targeting has been updated with this info, such as the Goldfiend and Diss Card: Steal Monies. If you don't want to see this info in the Ranking, you can turn off this feature in the in-game Main Menu.
- The ACME Magnet can now incapacitate and kill the player multiple times in a single use. Previously, all attracted items would be checked and then at the end the player would be incapacitated and/or killed if needed. Now it is very possible for the player to get incapacitated or killed multiple times when attracting a lot of dangerous items. This can be important when you consider incapacitation and death blockers. For example, when you die 4 times from all the dangerous items you attract, this may burn through your entire Life Shield effect.
- Nature's Swiftness now properly resets the cooldown of Fairy Form: Extract Essence.
- In team games, player selections now give friendly players a green background and enemy players a red background.
- The Grim Reaper's Scythe now properly gives Necromancers an extra Soul Power whenever 4 Souls have been gathered.

- When a player died, first all effects that trigger on death would be handled and then (if the player was still dead) all the items would trigger. We've made changes so that now both items and effects are handled at the same time. This has several consequences.
- Items that block death now do so before effects like Life Insurance trigger. Death blocking works just like with effects like Auto-Resurrection.
- Effects that block death have always triggered at the same time, meaning that you'd use up an Auto-Resurrection and a stack of Life Shield at the same time. Because items triggered later, they wouldn't get used up. Because items now also trigger at the same time, items like Voodoo Charm now get used up even when blocking effects like Auto-Resurrection trigger.
- Wormhole no longer wears off when blocking a death.
- Blocking a death no longer triggers "on revive" mechanics such as Devil's Contract: Revival Denial.
- A bug with the Mind Stone's Base ability sometimes stealing more than 1 item per player that died has been fixed.
- Bulletproof now protects against Russian Roulette. Game logic won from actual logic!
- All Spell items now get highlighted based on the Spell they're currently charged with. For example, when your Tome Of Magic is charged with Remove Curse, it'll get highlighted when you have a Curse.
- Spell items now properly get highlighted when you're Silenced, Disarmed or Incapacitated when you have Magical Mind.
- Light Spell: Scales Of Justice now gets highlighted when you're in last place.
- A chocolate overdose from Munchies + full Box Of Chocolates now properly kills players.
- Multiple events now properly end when the player dies in the middle of it.
- Master Volume now properly gets saved again when updated via your Account Settings.
- Liquid Nitrogen and the Teleporter have been removed from the Engineering Shop. We ideally want shops to have 7-9 items in total, so we chose to bring this shop in line with the rest. The Teleporter is also available at the Future Shop and we don't think any item should be in multiple common shops.
The Lightning Rod has been added to the game! It is for sale at the Engineering Shop!
- Drink items now get light blue item highlighting when you are Dehydrated! In addition, the item tooltips of these items tell you that you can drink them to get rid of the Dehydration.
- Tooltips of Food items now also keep track of Fungal Infection and Worms. Both of these effects reduce the amount of spaces moved by eating Food by 50% and are labeled as Bad Digestion.
- A new thermometer has just gone live featuring the Warlock Overhaul as well as 2 new Lesser Demons: the Skullripper and the Dice Devil!
- Food and Drink items are now grayed out when you are Unable To Eat Or Drink. This debuff is now also mentioned in the tooltips of these items.

- Valentines Week has begun! Share the love and marry players with the temporary Wedding Rings!

The Prunes and Dried Prunes have been added to the game! Eat them to have a happy poopy time! Check out a preview on Facebook and Twitter!- The Spider Mine's tooltip has been changed to specify that it runs to the nearest living player.
- A number of bugs with items that trigger during a player's turn have been fixed. For instance, when a D-Bug transforms a Thieving Imp into a Glitch, the Thieving Imp will no longer trigger in that turn (causing weird bugs in the process).
- We're in the process of removing the "Harmful" property of Spells. A lot of items and effects specify that they work against "Harmful Spells" or "Dark Spells" or "Harmful Dark Spells". Currently, the only Spell where this matters is Living Bomb, which is a Dark Spell that was considered "Not Harmful". From today on, all things that affected Harmful Spells will now affect Dark Spells instead. The whole Harmful keyword is being removed and all that will matter is whether a Spell is Light or Dark. Less complexity, yay! :)
- Living Bomb is now classified as a Debuff instead of a Buff.
- We've improved the item tooltips of Food to show information about Delicious, Spicy and Diet! The amount of spaces moved changes dynamically so you don't have to do the math yourself all the time! Check out a preview on Facebook and Twitter!
- A bug with Permafrost always wearing off after 1 turn has been fixed!
- The To Infinity And Beyond in-game tooltip now correctly displays the number of loops required to win!

- A bug that was introduced yesterday caused Butter to make items Broken. This has now been fixed!
- Super Caffeine Rush wearing off after a total movement of 100 spaces wasn't actually after 100 spaces, but after triggering 100 time, assuming a movement of 1 space per trigger. However, in some cases the player wouldn't move at all (Rooted) or move more than 1 space (for example due to also having normal Caffeine Rush). The effect now correctly counts the total actual movement from the Super Caffeine Rush triggers.
- A new thermometer has gone live featuring more Food/Drink related interface improvements and a new item: Cocaine Cola!

- Items inside a Magic Hat now lower their cooldown during the owner's Effect Phase.
- The Deal With The Devil event has been added to the game. This new rare death event can occur when you're dead and have to wait at least 2 more turns to revive. The Devil will offer you a deal to revive instantly, IF you sign his contract. So choose wisely... Art previews on Facebook and Twitter!
- A new thermometer has just gone live featuring two new items to celebrate Lunar New Year! Check out the Fortune Cookie and the Stonetusk Boar!

The Tooth Fairy has been added to the game!- Some changes have been made to what the game considers "reviving naturally" and which items and effects do and do not trigger:
- The Time Twister's Not My Time Yet passive, Soul Of Determination's Determination effect and Baetylus now always trigger when the player revives naturally.
- Reviving from the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) event used to sometimes trigger Not My Time Yet. Reviving here never counts as reviving naturally anymore.

- The Bear has been updated with 8 new pieces of art! Check out a few previews on Facebook and Twitter!
- From now on, when items are shown in the event screen or item popups, they will show their complete tooltips, including all dynamically changing parts. For example, when using Sabotage to see items of another player, a Teleporter Activator wouldn't show the Saboteur on which space it was locked. After today's change, it will.

For example, if you force another player who has Living Bomb to use a Deadly Illusion, causing them to die and kill some players around them in the explosion, you will steal stones from all those dead players! #MindTricks

In the past, crossing the finish line in these looping Wild Modes earned you nothing. Forward movement in general (and things like Speed) meant very little in these modes, causing a large amount of items and skills to be pretty much useless. With this change, we want to change that.
The Lean Mean Caffeine Machine has been added to the game! This new item was designed by CaffeinatedCourtney, one of our greatest supporters!

- Check out BGO player Flynt being awesome!
- A bug has been fixed that allowed some items to highlight, even though the items they required were Frozen. An example was the Magic Broom being highlighted when you had a Frozen Magic Crystal.
- Black Friday is here! For 3 days even! Donating a total of €10 during Black Friday awards you the new Afro Pawn Hair! This special offer is active on Nov 22, 23 and 24 (Amsterdam time). You can do multiple smaller donations: the total counts.

The Personal Forcefield has been added to the game! This common new item is for sale at the Future Shop event.- To make sure common shops don't get too many items, we've removed the Space Fluctuator from the Future Shop. While this item really did add something unique to the game, it wasn't used a lot outside of teaming and as cheap "inventory fodder". We want the items for sale at common shops to be generally useful and the fluctuator didn't fit the bill. Of course this item is still available from other sources.

- We've received a lot of feedback from players that BGO just sucks. It is pretty lame and it's probably the worst game in the history of the universe. So, we took that constructive feedback back into our hive and concocted a new game mode, inspired by legends of the past. This new mode has been dubbed Actually Pretty Radical Item Loot and it should be just the thing you're all looking for. Enjoy, minions!!1
- We are ever committed to improving the core parts of BGO. Of course some people say that BGO is all about the stupid little game you can play, but we know that deep down the true core of BGO is the lobby chat and in particular, the extremely powerful /8ball command. Although this incredible artificial intelligence has served us well in the past, we are proud to announce its successor. Without further ado we present you the evolution of BGO: The Magic 9 Ball!

- Grand (Dis)Appearance has been tweaked to become more consistent. It now goes on cooldown after teleporting back to your original space.

- Assassinate will now target living players first before targeting dead players.
- The Speed Boost effect generated from a Light Wand and Slow Speed effect from a Dark Wand now count a charge when you skip a turn.
- The Records feature has been completely removed from the game. We were not happy with the mechanics of it. A similar feature might find its way into the game in the future to replace it.
- The Merchant can now choose a target when using his Fair Trade skill. The cooldown of this skill has therefore been increased to 3 turns.
- You will no longer recieve Life Insurance when you die while having an Ankh Of Resurrection. In addition, the AIDS disease will no longer be removed when you die while having an Ankh.

- Observers will no longer crash if they start observing a team game during team selection.
- You can now mute players or observers in a game by typing /mute name. So if you want to mute DysprosiumDy just type "/mute DysprosiumDy"

- There is now an Expert Mode option when you create a game. Expert Mode will be used for things we think are too complex for new players. What it exactly does, can be found in the Game Info. Right now, it only allows you to choose any class in the Specialisations event. More differences will be added in the future.
- You can no longer move forward with Caffeine Rush and Super Caffeine Rush while dead. Thanks for the bug report!

- We've added over 100 songs thanks to the new song suggestion feature. Thanks for making it an overwhelming success and keep suggesting those songs!

- Five more possibilities to get rid of the bear have been added.
- A bug with people going to the bear when using the Game Option: "Instant Specialisation" has been fixed.
- The Jukebox is now 100% random and with less downtime. This means that, as soon as a song ends, the next player will get to choose a song. (In the old system the Jukebox would choose 6 songs of 6 different genres. This caused genres with less songs to have their songs appear more frequently.) Enjoy!
- A bug existed where effects that caused you to not get an event (like the Evil Disease or Cocaine Addiction) still removed 'go to' effects (like Gun/Potion/Card). This has been fixed.

- Today the 30.000th game has been created! Yay!
- You can no longer buy multiple Ankhs of Resurrection at the church.
- A new system is in place to prevent problems with lag. Players who got thrown into jail in various events should not have these problems anymore. The downside of the system is that sometimes buttons will not respond if you click on them, but clicking them again should solve the problem. We will monitor performance closely today to see if any problems arise.
- A bug with the sword not stabbing anyone has been fixed.
- The preview for August is now on the Announcements forum.
- If your text contains a YouTube link in the lobby, it will now automatically be converted into a video link.

- Fixed a bug where certain items could completely halt the game. This bug popped up in quite some recent games.
- Effects are now visible in the game. Personal and global effects are displayed at the top left and top right of the events screen. Red flags are debuffs, green flags are buffs, yellow flags are neutral effects and blue flags are global effects. Each flag also has a tooltip, just like items. Effect categories are displayed as well.
- A bug that caused games to halt has been fixed.
- Items now also show their categories, such as 'Magnetic'.
- A bug where sometimes a game could start more than once, has been fixed. This could crash games right at the start.
- Dying multiple times no longer results in multiple crosses. Name changes in-game will no longer remove dead players' crosses.
- When a player leaves the game, their name will blur in the ranking.
- The Hammer and Sword now prioritize enemy players in Team Mode. However, if there is only one player on your space, you will always hit that player, even if it's your team member.
- You can now use apostrophes (') and quotes (") in your win quotes.

In the meanwhile, Team Mode seems to function well in most cases, so try to enjoy the games that work and send in a bug report when something goes haywire. See you in a week!
- After some amazing detective work I have discovered the source of the bug that caused death to behave wrong. It turned out to be something horribly awful in the Disease Cloud code. It has been fixed! (And there I was saying we wouldn't fix it in time. /flex)

- Some server tweaks greatly increased the speed of our scripts. Reinforcements could take quite some seconds for the game to perform, but thanks to the improvements it all runs smoothly once again. We'll keep a close eye on game performance in the future, because games had become laggier than usual.

- We discovered a weak spot in our code, where joining a game caused a lot of stress on the server. We have fixed this and joining a game should now be instant.

- If you have to do something out of your turn (for example when someone shoots you or you have to answer a question) you will hear the 'turn' sound.

- We're currently trying to fix the kick system. The code for that is a bit old and unpredictable, so bear with us. We implemented some hotfixes and we hope players can now always be kicked after waiting too long 3 times and we hope it prevents double kicks. When multiple players click a button at the same time, it might still cause server problems. Please make a bug report if anything like that happens!
- Twelve new player icons have been added, allowing up to 20 players to have a unique icon. That *should* be enough, right? Right?
- UPDATE: Some more hotfixes for the kick system. Thanks for the bug reports!
- UPDATE: Thanks to another bug report, a MAJOR bug was discovered in the kick system. This was definitely the cause of a LOT of unexpected behaviour and has been fixed. Thanks so much for the reports!

- You can now register without needing to click a link in a verification e-mail. Sometimes mails would not arrive and we hope this makes it easier to make an account. Enjoy!

- The server crashed today, possibly due to the high amount of games played (I'm looking at you, epicmafia people!) It's been restarted and running smoothly again. We'll keep a close eye on it to prevent further server downtime in the future.
- UPDATE: The server crashed again, but it seems the cause was not the high amount of player activity! The problem has been fixed and the server is once again more than capable to... well, serve you. Thanks for all the support!
- Added a lame /joke command to the site chat. If you guys have better jokes, please post them on the forums!
- Also added some chat commands dedicated to League of Legends, an awesome game. Try /lux, /lux2, /demacia, /demacia2, /demacia3, /blitzcrank and /blitzcrank2. FOR DEMACIAAAAA!
- We received news about the death of our dear friend Osama Bin Laden. He has always been present in Board Game Online and was even going to be part of a future Cave event. We are filled with sadness on this tragic day and our thoughts go out to his friends and family.
- Since Osama is dead, you can now have sex with Osama Bin Laden's magically speaking corpse in the brothel! Enjoy, you perverts!
- We want to thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm! In April more than three times as many games have been played as in the months before.
