It can be noted that to view MOTDs and changelogs from 2015 and earlier, the "help [[old news]]" command is used.
  Update 12/31/2016:
  - Fixed a bug with [[rank]] calculations for [[skills]] and [[spells]] of characters who
    had trained beyond 100% for their second or third [[sub-classes]].
 
  Update 12/30/2016:
  - New Year and January [[Lottery]]:
    We will be running the following throughout the month of January (and for
    the final days of December).
 
    1. Triple [[sun stone]]s for all [[donations]] (through January 31st).
    2. We will be holding weekly lotteries each Saturday of each week of
    January at midnight PST (including a special Saturday and Sunday pick for
    Dec 31 and Jan 1).
   
    Each $50 donation made on a given character will grant that character a
    ticket in the lottery (e.g., donate $50, get 1 ticket; donate $200, get 4
    tickets) for the week's lottery in addition to the normal donation.
    All donations already made in December will be applied to BOTH lotteries
    of December 31 and January 1. There will be 1 carryover character per week.
    See "help lottery" for more information.
    Note: tickets are given to the character the donation is placed,
          irrespective of if the owner of that character made the donation.
    One winner will be selected each week. There will be SIX winners for the
    months of Dec./Jan. and one character may win the lottery more than once
    (e.g., [[Nijlo]] wins on week 1 and week 4 and gets two prizes).
    Winners will be selected on these days and their names will be placed at
    the top of the MOTD.
        - 11:59pm PST, Saturday, December 31 (TOMORROW)
        - 11:59pm PST, Sunday, January 1
        - 11:59pm PST, Saturday, January 7
        - 11:59pm PST, Saturday, January 14
        - 11:59pm PST, Saturday, January 21
        - 11:59pm PST, Saturday, January 28
    Each winner will be given a very special prize! Prizes will be a lottery
    themselves based on the following spin of the wheel:
    - 1,000,000 [[platinum]]
    - 100 sun stones (can be split across characters)
    - 50 [[infuscated marble]]s (can be split across characters)
    - +500 to any [[pool]] (up to aug max, can be divided)
    - +10 to any [[stat]] (up to aug max, can be divided)
    - +100% in a [[skill]] / [[spell]] of your choosing (up to aug max, can be divided)
    - A random [[super unique]]d improvement to any item you already own (you
      must have the item)
    Lottery prizes will be distributed to all winners after the January
    lotteries are complete.
    (Note: donation caps are removed this month for people who want to exceed
    the limit.)

      rumors have begun to spread through realms far and wide. Word
      has even reached the [[Saz-sari Council|extraplanar council of the Saz-Sari]], much
      to the consternation of those who have long kept these mortal
      realms safe...
    - A high-ranking strategist of the Saz-sari Council, Arokstrander
      has ventured forth into the wild strands of the [[Yeriwyrian Penumbra]]
      to gather information on Nodeka's industrial advance.
      Beware - the [[Saz-sari]] wield powers far beyond those of Nodeka's
      mere mortal denizens, and combat with this boss is guaranteed to
      be extremely perilous.
    - This world boss's difficulty level, mechanics, and reward are all
      subject to further tuning.

          irrespective of if the owner of that character made the donation.

    month of April and one character may win the lottery more than once
    (e.g., [[Nijlo wins]] on week 1 and week 4 and gets two prizes).

   - [[Wounding]] algorithm has been updated - details at the [[Sixth Sense]] blog.
   - The [[PK system]] has been changed slightly. If a player has a [[PK flag]], he
    or she is generally attackable (except in some specific cases) even if
    he or she is on the attacker's [[last pk]] list.


   Update 2/8/2015:
  Update 3/6/2016:
  - [[Super unique]] period has ended as well as triple [[infuscated marble]]s.
  - Triple [[experience]] period has begun! All experience you receive while
    this event is active will be increased by 3X.
 
   Update 2/17/2016:
  - The [[super unique]] period has begun! It will run through at least February 29.
    Best of luck!
 
  Update 1/28/2016:
  - The way [[infuscated marble]]s works has been changed. Please type "[[stones inf]]"
    for a full explanation of the new behavior.
 
  Update 1/27/2016:
  - Due to overwhelming requests, we will be running another [[super unique]] period
    near the end of February.
    To help you gather more [[infuscated marble|marbles]], we are running a 3X marble event starting
    today through mid-February (the exact ending date has yet to be determined).
    As such, for all [[donations]] made from now until the 3X marble event has
    ended will result in 3 times the normal amount of infuscated marbles.
  - The triple [[gold]] period has ended. Stay tuned for another exciting event
    soon!
 
  Update 1/20/2016:
  - The reduced [[class change]] period has ended.
  - Triple [[gold]] period has begun! All mobs will have 3X their normal gold
    for a brief period of time. Take advantage of it while you can!
 
  Update 1/17/2016:
  - The double [[drop]] period has ended, but the reduced [[class change]] period will
    remain active for a bit longer.
  - More minor bug fixes to the PK system.
 
  Update 1/16/2016:
  - The [[PK system]] has been changed a bit. Please see "help [[last pk]]" for more
    details.
 
  Update 1/15/2016:
  - Some minor fixes have been made to the [[PK system]].
 
  Update 1/14/2016:
  Changes to the [[PK system]]:
  - Remorts: [[non-remort]]s can attack non-remorts, [[minor remorts|minor]] and [[major remorts]]
              minor remorts can only attack minor and major remorts
              major remorts can only attack major remorts
    [[Followers]] are unaffected by this change and should be fair game regardless of
    the attacker or victim's remort status.
  - [[Last PKs]]: players who are on your last PK list (who are any players you
    land the final blow against in [[combat]] and who are not in your [[clan]]), cannot
    be attacked until they are cycled off.
 
  - [[Last RPs]]: because of the way the new system works, the "[[last rp]]" [[command]]
    has been removed because it would make it harder for PKers to cycle through
    their last PK list as only those players who would grant them RPs would be
    added.
    With that in mind, RPs are still distributed where necessary and follow the
    same rules as before. The only difference is now *all* players you defeat in
    combat are added to the last pk list, not just the ones who granted you RPs.
 
  Update 1/13/2016:
  - New [[clan hall]] upgrade: [[advanced regeneration room]] for 100 sun stones. See
    "help clan hall" for more information.
 
  Update 1/10/2016:
  - [[Trolls]] have been toned.
  - Due to an exploit in [[darkened ambush]], all [[race]]s that previously had ambush
    tactics have lost that [[racial affect]] and it has been replaced with a
    different [[bonus attack]].
 
  Update 1/9/2016:
  - [[Clan hall]] [[scrounger gnome|gnomes]] are now available again for 30 [[sun stone]]s. For more
    information, please see 'help clan hall'.
 
  Update 1/6/2016:
  - New events: reduced [[class change]]s and double drop period!
  - Reduced class change event:
    - For same class changes (within the same class): 2 [[sun stone]]s (previously 3)
    - For out-of-class changes: 10 sun stones (previously 20)
    Take advantage of this event while it's active! It won't last long!
  - Double [[drop]] period:
 
    - The double drop period increases *rare* drops by 2x. However, normal
    drops (those items that drop more frequently) remain at their normal rate.
  - Super [[gem]] period has ended.
  - see '[[help news]]' for all old news
  - Nodeka web: http://www.nodeka.com
