Mounted combat

2026-04-12T22:40:06Z

GS4-AERGO:

== Mounted Combat ==

Trained riders can now fight from the saddle! Mounted combat is unlocked per '''character''' at a cost of '''50,000 raikhen'''. This unlock is available from the stablehands in various towns.

=== Stay Mounted in Combat ===
* Attack and cast war spells freely while mounted.
* You no longer get dismounted when attacked or when entering combat.
* Getting '''knocked down''' will still dismount you.

=== Passive Bonuses ===
* '''+10 DS''' while mounted.
* '''Height advantage''' on attacks.

=== Three New Abilities ===

All three abilities are accessed via the '''MOUNT''' verb (e.g., <tt>MOUNT CHARGE</tt>).

==== MOUNT TRAMPLE (AoE) ====
Spur your mount to trample '''multiple creatures''' in the room.
* Targets are knocked down and may be Disoriented or Staggered.
* Uses an SMR roll against each target.
* '''You are dismounted and your mount departs''' after the charge.
* 60 second cooldown.
* 5 seconds of roundtime.

==== MOUNT CHARGE (Single-Target) ====
Direct your mount to charge a single creature or player.
* Target is knocked down and may be Terrified or Feeble.
* Includes a '''follow-through attack''' with your equipped weapon or a spell after the trample.
* You '''stay mounted''' after trampling.
* 60 second cooldown.
* 3 seconds of roundtime.

==== MOUNT ESCAPE (Emergency Extraction) ====
Your mount charges in, scoops you up, and carries you to an adjacent room even if you are '''stunned''', '''prone''', '''webbed''', or '''rooted'''.
* Does '''not''' work while unconscious or dead.
* Must not already be mounted.
* '''Daily cooldown''' (resets at midnight).
* Your mount departs after depositing you safely.
* Does not move your group.
* The destination room may have hostile creatures; escape guarantees extraction, not safety.

=== Restrictions While Mounted ===

Some combat maneuvers (CMANs) and abilities '''cannot be used while mounted'''. This list is subject to change as messaging is reviewed:
* Vault Kick, Bearhug, Dirtkick, Leap Attack, Sweep, Tackle, Groin Kick, Footstomp, Hamstring, Headbutt, Garrote, Subdue, Spin Attack, Whirling Dervish, Rolling Krynch, Acrobat's Leap, Kneebash, Dust Shroud, Swiftkick, Divert, Cutthroat, Eviscerate, Prop Up (Shield), Charge (Polearm), Twin Hammerfists, Spin Kick, Cyclone, Vanish, Silent Strike

Some abilities '''cannot target a mounted rider''':
* Bearhug, Sweep, Hamstring, Garrote, Subdue, Cutthroat, Throatchop, Footstomp, Groin Kick, Nosetweak, Kneebash

'''AMBUSH''' and '''WAYLAY''' are always blocked while mounted, regardless of combat unlock. You also cannot '''HIDE''' while mounted.

=== Related Mount Changes ===

As a result of changes required to support Mounted Combat, '''all''' players with mounts will notice the following:

* The summoning device is now wearable. When dismounting, the device will be worn automatically instead of going to an empty hand first.
* You will no longer be considered "sitting" while mounted.

==Frequently Asked Questions==
===How much does SimuCon cost?===
Attendance badges have previously cost $40 when purchased in advance. Tickets are available at the door, but will be more expensive. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

=== Where do I sign up?===

Ticketing will likely be handled via the play.net Box Office when available. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!

===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===

SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2025 Schedule|2025 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.

===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===

SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.

===What equipment should I bring? ===

Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.

===Will I need a car?===

Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.

===What is the weather typically like?===

Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather

===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===

Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.

===What should I wear?===

SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.

=== Is there a pool?===

YES, pack your bathing suit! The Sheraton Westport Plaza has an indoor pool, and their sister property the Sheraton Westport Chalet has an outdoor pool. The Chalet's outdoor pool is very close and is a popular day time destination for attendees. All facilities at both hotels are available to any guest staying at either hotel. There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any. It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.

==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held in the St. Louis area, home of Simutronic's headquarters. While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza. For specific details on the official hotel, please see the below accommodations list. Also below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.

Platinum migration

== Summary ==

On November 6th, 2024, GM Wyrom announced that official GameMaster support in the Platinum instance would end in Q1 of 2025. In order to provide Platinum players an opportunity to retain access to GM support, it was also announced that characters would be given an opportunity to migrate to the Prime instance.

Several details regarding the migration which were announced have needed to be adjusted to prevent those who actively began to game the system to obtain an unfair advantage. Below are the new details and an explanation of the process. Additional information regarding the transfer of Private Properties or additional perks for Platinum subscribers will be coming at a later date.

== What are the character requirements for migration? ==

To be eligible to migrate, a Platinum character must:
* be level 20 or higher
* be created prior to the announcement (11/06/2024 9:00 PM EST)
* be migrated into a Prime character of matching race and profession

== What are the restrictions on items being migrated? ==

Characters will be limited to bringing a total of 450 items each. In addition to being account bound, most items (gear, magic, enhancive or scripted) will also have a new restriction placed on them which requires that a character must have been migrated from Platinum in order to be used.

== What character data is being transferred? ==

An effort has been made to copy over as much data as possible. Players will have a limited set of character data options to choose from.

The following data sets may be toggled to select whether to keep the PRIME or the PLATINUM data associated with that set:

* '''Character Base:''' This setting determines the "essence" of the character and includes many individual data points, including stats, training, skills, spells as well as RP-specific choices such as age, gender, culture, and demeanor. This is the character which will receive 100% of the experience upon migration, subject to no penalty. The experience and ascension experience from the instance not chosen will receive a 1% reduction in experience per level over 20.
* '''Profession Guild:''' Guild membership, skills and associated data
* '''Society:''' Society membership, rank and associated data
* '''Citizenship:''' Citizenship status
* '''OSA:''' OSA and SHIP information
* '''Lumnis Schedule:''' Lumnis status and preferences
* '''Adventurer's Guild:''' Bounty data, including task history and points
* '''Customizations:''' Custom titles, swears, signature verbs and spell preps
* '''Artisan Skills:''' Training in various artisan and learned skills

'''Note:''' Silvers, event tickets, login boosts and locker expansions will be the sum from both instances.

== How will the process work? ==

=== In the Platinum Instance: ===

At a set date and time, a portal will be set up which will lead to the migration area. Eligible characters may pull a '''crate''' from the pile in which to store the items they wish to migrate with. This crate may be taken to various lockers and placed AT FEET.

Once the crate is full, a character will bring themselves and the crate back to the migration room and RETIRE (requires confirmation). At this point, the characters will be taken to an intermediate changing room. In this room, characters may GET tattoos and PUT them into their migration crate. Once this is done, you must CLOSE the crate (requires confirmation) and RETIRE a final time (requires confirmation). Upon final confirmation, the character will be taken to a final “purgatory” location. Logging into the character will not be restricted, however, no actions may be performed by the character after they have been retired.

All characters who wish to migrate in the first wave will be required to RETIRE by a specific date and time. Once that date passes, any characters will need to wait until a later migration period is offered. There are no guarantees for how many or when future migration periods occur.

=== In the Prime Instance: ===

At a set date and time, a portal will be set up leading to the migration area. Characters may go to this area and REDEEM to see a list of their retired Platinum characters which are eligible to be merged with the currently logged in character (race and profession). The Prime character MUST be able to handle the quantity of items in the migration crate.

Once a player REDEEM <name> (requires confirmation), they will be taken to an intermediate changing room with their migration crate placed in their hand. Players must OPEN their crate and take all items out including a '''features mask''' and a '''platinum multipass'''. This room will allow you to GET any tattoos from the crate and WEAR them. Before leaving this room, characters must have removed every item from their crate, worn any tattoos and have redeemed their multipass (details below).

=== Platinum Multipass: ===

Players may ANALYZE the multipass to view the current character data settings. Once this multipass is REDEEMed (requires confirmation), we are unable to reset to allow adjustments. You MUST make sure that the settings are as desired BEFORE trying to REDEEM the multipass.

When a multipass is redeemed, it will disappear from the character's hands and the player may exit the migration room.
<pre>
>analyze my multipass
You analyze the platinum multipass and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This item is a Platinum Migration Multipass for use in transferring character data between instances.

------- Platinum Multipass Instructions -------

Migration Settings:
- You may toggle an individual setting by using the VERB in parentheses beside each.
- The instance selected for each determines which data will be used.

Character Base: This setting determines the "essence" of the character and includes many individual data points, including stats, training, skills, spells as well as RP-specific choices such as age, gender, culture, and demeanor. This is the character which will receive 100% of the experience upon migration, subject to no penalty. The experience and ascension experience from the instance not chosen will receive a 1% reduction in experience per level over 20.

Profession Guild: Guild membership, skills and associated data
Society: Society membership, rank and associated data
Citizenship: Citizenship status
OSA: OSA and SHIP information
Lumnis Schedule: Lumnis status and preferences
Adventurer's Guild: Bounty data, including task history and points
Customizations: Custom titles, swears, signature verbs and spell preps
Artisan Skills: Training in various artisan and learned skills

Note: Silvers, event tickets, login boosts and locker expansions will be the sum from both instances.

REDEEM to use the multipass on an eligible character. Confirmation is required.

** WARNING: Do not REDEEM until the migration settings are configured as desired. **

------- Platinum Character Information -------
Name: <name>
Level: <level>
Race: <race>
Profession: <profession>
Experience: <regular experience>
Ascension: <ascension experience>

-------- Current Migration Settings --------
Character Base: Platinum (PUSH)
Profession Guild: Platinum (PULL)
Society: Platinum (PROD)
Citizenship: Platinum (TURN)
OSA: Platinum (WAVE)
Lumnis Schedule: Platinum (POKE)
Adventurer's Guild: Platinum (PINCH)
Customizations: Platinum (CLENCH)
Artisan Skills: Platinum (TWIST)

You get no sense of whether or not the multipass may be further lightened.

==Frequently Asked Questions==
===How much does SimuCon cost?===
Attendance badges cost $40. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

===Where do I sign up?===

Ticketing will likely be handled via the play.net Box Office when available. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!

===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===

SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2024 Schedule|2024 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.

===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===

SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.

===What equipment should I bring?===

Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.

===Will I need a car?===

Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.

===What is the weather typically like?===

Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather

===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===

Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.

===What should I wear?===

SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.

===Is there a pool?===

YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.

==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held in the St. Louis area, home of Simutronic's headquarters. While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza. For specific details on the official hotel, please see the below accommodations list. Also below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors.
