We're going to start the New Year how we mean to go on - implementing some changes that are small, but (we hope), meaningful.

In that spirit our first change for 2015 will be to bump the starting contact skill to Master.  Given that the way is as natural for Zalanthans as speaking we don't believe the struggle to raise it to a functional level makes sense. On the OOC front it will hopefully save some frustration for those new characters who need to start making contacts.  (On the downside there will be less newbie boots on offer due to new pcs sliding off bar stools when using up their stun on way conversations).

We will also be raising the starting level of barrier slightly to represent a lifetime of basic usage.

All new PCs will have these skills at the new levels. If you have a PC that was created in the last month you are welcome to submit a request via the request tool to have your skill bumped to the new levels.

We hope to announce other changes shortly that might address some of the recent gdb discussions around skill bumps and skill levels.

Brief update: 

We did find a bug with this update that may (likely) will cause the starting value of contact to not be correct.  This will be corrected at the next patch.  In the mean time we will be manually adjusting the skill to the correct level. 

Thanks!

I forgot to mention, this was fixed on Monday with a minor bug fix patch!
