The UOSSMUD Randomizer
LockeZ
Players who have gotten to level 100 in UOSSMUD and are looking for a way to keep the game fresh have an exciting new option to try. The UOSSMUD Randomizer changes almost every aspect of the entire job system, creating a new experience every time. This means the entire job tree, the stats and equipment of each job, and the abilities in each job are all randomized. Other parts of the game are randomized as well, including airship destinations and time gates in the End of Time.
The randomized parts of the game are the same for all players, but are re-randomized every two and a half days.
The randomizer is classified as an alternate race, like Mutant, Cyborg, Jumi or l'Cie. However, the name of the race is randomized.
For more details, type "help randomizer" in the game to read about it.

Kweh!
I'm pleased to announce the latest addition to UOSSMUD: Chocobos! Chocobos have a long history in Squaresoft games, and it's high time for them to come here in a big way. Players are now able to raise and breed their own chocobos, which can be used in two brand new minigames, Chocobo Racing and Chocobo Hot & Cold (as well as ride them around!). These minigames have a large variety of rewards for every level of chocobo breeder. Any player interested in learning how to get into the world of chocobos can start by visiting the Chocobo Ranch; Choco Bill has a mission available for anyone level 30 and above.
Chocobo content is, for the most part, *not* combat or level oriented. Rather, it is designed to complement the experience and provide a new activity for players to participate in as they progress through the MUD.

New web-play interface
The MUD Portal, a website dedicated to getting people access to MUDs, has developed a really nice web app to let people connect to a MUD. As a result, you can now start playing the game right in your web browser in one click! Click here to try out the Unofficial Squaresoft MUD.

Check out the new Time Mage!
As part of our continual effort to update our jobs, we're now proud to present you with the latest update: Time Mage!
Time mage was really lackluster, and there were lots of cool abilities in various Squaresoft games that have come out since it was originally made. This made it an ideal candidate for a revamped set of abilities, all of which are listed below.
Time Mage is a magical job which uses the powers of space and time to attack foes and shift reality. All damage spells are wisdom-based, as are most of the support spells, with the remainder being based on willpower. Here's what you can expect from the new job: a reasonably risky damage dealing wisdom based job with access to a good amount of utility through status effects like Stop and Reflect. Time mage has an incredibly powerful arsenal that relies on good cooldown management to make the most out of your damage output.

Game Design
Dragoon class design
The old Dragoner job, which was based on Reis's elemental breath skills from Final Fantasy Tactics, has been rolled into Dragoon. The old Dragoner quest will unlock the five elemental breath abilities and all other high level skills. The new Dragoon has other new skills as well, and some of the existing skills have been changed, especially Jump.
All the new Dragoon skills are taken from either Freya's skills in Final Fantasy IX or Reis's skills in Final Fantasy Tactics, except for Launch, which comes from FF13 Commando, and Ultra Jump, which... if you must know, comes from Super Mario RPG. Though FF6 and several other games had similar skills.
With the recode, Dragoon turns into a hybrid tanking/attacking physical job. It has some of the only attacks in the game that are influenced directly by vitality, UOSSMUD's main defensive stat. In particular, Jump will be a hybrid ability, working on a similar premise to gravity attacks, except... kind of in reverse? It's based on a percentage of the user's HP instead of the target's. Jump has an obvious logical connection with gravity, so I felt like it was interesting to link the damage formula with how gravity-type damage works in Final Fantasy games.
All dragoon skills do 40% less damage if the user doesn't have a lance equipped, except for the breaths.
I figured a lot of people might be interested in how this class was designed, even if they don't actually play UOSSMUD, so here's a modified version of the design sheet. One of the goals was to make at least some of the higher level abilities combo in with the earlier ones, and the others to be situationally better, instead of just replacing them. Another goal was to make the job equally viable for both strength-based and vitality-based characters.
Equipment: Lance, Armor or Clothes, Helmet or Hat, Shield (and a bracelet and two accessories, like every class). The light armor is carried over from Dragoner, mostly to not ruin characters who were dragoners before the recode and built their stats around requirements for light equipment.

Archer and Chemist
Archer and chemist have both been redesigned from the ground up, in a similar manner to how engineer was redesigned last month, to extend further into higher levels and unlock new skills as you keep playing. Archer is hopefully now a competitive and powerful job for players who put effort into it, while chemist remains a support job but is hopefully a more useful and interesting one.
Archer's skills were designed to make sure it feels different from marksman while still feeling like a bow-and-crossbows-using job. Charge Attack was redesigned and now deals heavy damage based on the number of attacks you would have dealt if you weren't charging, and Animals is hopefully an exciting new skill that summons random animals and deals damage passively over several rounds; new animals are unlocked as you gain job levels. Its ultimate skill, X-Fight, is now a powerful random-target attack like you remember from Final Fantasy 5.
Chemist is very different from before. New items unlock as you gain levels, not job levels like skills in most other jobs. The gold prices of items have been drastically changed to match the amount of gold you earn at different levels. Non-chemists can use healing items at full power, but they take two rounds to use if you're in battle at the time. Chemists (and players with item set as their secondary command) can use them without the extra round of cooldown and without using up an item; the healing is essentially free. New explosive-type items that damage enemies were added, and can only be used with access to the item skillset. At higher job levels, the job gains a few buff skills that don't require items. Also note that you can no longer use items unless you've actually learned the skill, so you'll need to spend a little bit of time in chemist every 25 levels to unlock your new potions and ethers if you want to be able to use them.
Players have had their chemist and archer AP refunded to spend as they like.
