Version 19b
Welcome to a new era of Aneurism IV.
A quick thank you to everyone who participated in the Open Preview and helped us test the update. Your time and effort were crucial in giving us what we needed to make this update the best it can be. Aneurism IV has had a LOT of iterations when it comes to balancing and overall changes. After extensive testing, this is what we've come up with. For the in-depth details, you'll just have to give it a shot!
Major Changes
Anamnecyte Acquisition
Your pay is changing! After the correction of some slight clerical errors, the distribution of Anamnecytes has been reduced to a more stable rate. Most sources have been reduced, then given proper inspection to ensure that work is rewarded appropriately.

Karmic Retribution
The weight of sin is heavy, and those who commit atrocities in our great city will not be tolerated. If someone murders too many innocents, they themselves will die for their crimes. This also comes with adjustments to teamkilling to minimize the ability for players to kill their comrades.

The Return of Dealernet
Shops have been given significantly more freedom. Dealernet has returned, offering exclusive access to exotic goods to those with ties to the Midnight Bloc. As a result, the Night Market has been adjusted to offer a wider range of basic goods. Additionally, the Food Stand has been replaced with the more spacious Item Stand, which can contain any goods and display them for any passerby to see. The Pay Station has also been converted into a place for money management. Just make sure to keep unwashed hands away from its contents...
