New Life Festival/Jiubsmas Event
- The New Life Festival (dubbed Jiubsmas by players from the past) has begun!
- A holiday overlay has been applied to various towns across Vvardenfell.
- Hlaalu guards are feeling especially festive.
- 5 holiday exclusive achievements to unlock.
- New holiday exclusive server quests have been added.
- All the people in Balmora liked Jiubsmas a lot, but Da Greensh, just north of Balmora - did not.
- Grandfather Frost has took up residence in his cottage outside Balmora for the holiday season.

- A certain Horker has made their way to Balmora for the holiday season.
- Collect New Life Festival Gift Vouchers over the course of the month, and exchange them for Jiubsmas Presents at the end of the month!

This update will take effect on the upcoming server restart in roughly 6 hours from this post timestamp.

Changes
- Da Greensh will now clarify what the ornaments, by directing adventurers to the ornament Da Greensh already stole from Balmora.

Fixes
- Some behind the scenes adjustments to the spawn system script in an effort to resolve some spawning issues.
- Resolved issues regarding player enchanted [No Trade] items inability to be stored in player bags.

Fixes
- Some behind the scene server script fixes.
- Corrected some weirdness regarding the tracking of players melee hitting other players.
- Resolved some weirdness with hidden effect weapons being used against other players.

Lycanthropy Change
- Using the /revert command now triggers Transformation Fatigue, resulting in having current magicka set to 0 upon reverting to your humanoid form.

Fixes
- Resolved an issue that prevented Whirlwind Staff from activating its hidden effect.

This update will take effect on the following server restart.

Script Adjustments
- Rework of how hidden effect items are tracked on players to be less server intensive/spammy.

Fixes
- Resolved an issue involving equipment with fortify health/magicka/fatigue when reverting from werewolf form back to humanoid form.

Glamour System
- A Dwemer Glamour Analyzer has appeared outside of Gnisis. (What may be familiar to some at first glance, will not be as familiar upon use.)
- This device allows adventurers to alter the appearance of their armor, clothes and weapons.
- Items must be of similar type in order to successfully apply glamours. (i.e., a pauldron cannot apply a helmet glamour.)

Glamour Storage
- Items that adventurers wish to copy the visual base of onto other equipment should be stored within the Glamour Storage container.
- Adventurers start with 10 slot capacity by default, but can unlock additional slot capacity under certain prerequisites. (Additionally, tier 5 patrons receive 20 bonus slots.)
- Items stored here can be freely removed whenever desired. The benefit to additional slot capacity, being less items to lug around for glamour purposes.
- Anklets and shin guards can only be stored by beast races.
- Some items may not be able to be stored for glamour use at all.

Transmogrification Chamber
- Upon placing an item within the Transmogrification Chamber, adventurers will be prompted to either apply a glamour on said item or clear any active glamours.
- Glamoured items become non-tradeable until any active glamours are removed from said item.
- Glamoured items that are unenchanted, cannot be enchanted until any active glamours are removed from said item.
- Anklets and shin guards can only be glamoured by beast races.
- Some items may not be able to be glamoured at all.

New Achievements Added
- Two new glamour related achievements were added.

Fixes
- Fix relating to female characters applying glamours. (Hopefully resolved now.)
- Fixed equipment with Healing/Magicka/Fatigue Over Time effects not being applied correctly to glamoured versions.

Fixes
- Additional behind the scenes fixes to the glamour system.
- Fixed repair hammers not tracking usage count in between relogs.

Happy Holidays
- Adventurers can now exchange their acquired gift vouchers for Jiubsmas presents.
- Be sure to recycle your torn wrapping paper acquired from opening presents.
- Jiubsmas has come, and Da Greensh is needing adventurers to work overtime to steal more ornaments.

Jiubsmas Event
- The Jiubsmas event is coming to a close.
- Please be sure to exchange any remaining gift vouchers and torn wrapping paper before /servertime hits midnight.
- There will be a new holiday NPC added at some point that will exchange vouchers with players who did not get to turn theirs in, but I have no ETA on their implementation.
- Thank you to everyone who participated!

Quick Chat
- Players can now quickly and easily utilize some commonly used Morrowind voice dialogues on their characters for other nearby adventurers to see and hear.
- Quick Chat can be accessed via the following chat commands: /qc or /quickchat
- Quick Chat can also be accessed via the /help -> Social menu.
- Selectable dialogue is limited based on your characters race, gender and available voice dialogue within the game files.
