Revision as of 07:44, 16 April 2012

This is the official version log for The West International version. Please note that The West was first available in English from version 1.09, so some previous updates are missing. Please add these to the list if you find the correct change log for a version.

The game is currently running Version 1.35 (Revision 17524).

Version One

Version 1.10

Character classes - There are now four character classes available. Each player that is level 10 or higher can choose a class. Each class has it's own bonus, for example the duelist gets a speed bonus and the worker gets an experience bonus for every job.

To choose on a class go on to your Character screen.

Quests - There are 3 new groups of quests. Two of which are available at level 18.

This version does not update the game with any large new features, however it provides the infrastructure for version 1.17 which will be a massive content update.

Some of the notable changes will be: There will be female working process pictures (for the top right of the screen). The town logs now stay for 7 days. Character banners will be available under Settings->Profile->Signature. These are images with information like your name, town, class, level that you can use on your homepage or forum. The server time will be visible in the browser window title. Player's will be able to scroll to their current work in one click, as well as other minor changes. Motivation will influence the chance of getting an item.

Although this update doesn't seem like much, there is a lot of hidden content included ready to be unlocked when version 1.17 is released.

The changes include: New quest group for each class, over 120 new quests in total. Quest Employers are now visible on the map Messages to all town members are now possible New items that can only be worn by a specific class Fixed map tiles for Safari on Mac OS X Fixed travel duration bug in tasks

The changes include: Level cap removed (was 99) [incorrectly translated] At the start a player's start location is nearer to a tobacco field. Quest employers marked with a white point. It is no longer possible to sell your burned uniform. Whiskey is now possible to sell. Skill and attribute displays will no longer be generated by the server. This should improve performance. New quest series completable in March only. New quest series for those level 75 and above. We'll also be adding a new tutorial for new players.

Version 1.19

06-05-2009

The biggest changes are to items:

  • Some items can only be worn by men or women
  • There will be new sets of items (more below)
  • Some of the old items will be grouped into sets of items
  • If you wear more than one item from a grouped set of items (for example gray rags, gray shoes) you will receive an extra skill bonus
  • Most new items will be available in town shops
  • Some existing items will have new bonuses


The new sets of clothing will be:

  • Mexican
  • Pigrim (male)
  • Pilgrim (female)
  • Dancer (female)
  • Gentleman (male)
  • Farmer
  • Quaker
  • Indian

There will also be a new quest group which will start at level 67. It has one other secret requirement. In addition to this, there will be a short quest to solve the soldier uniform problems for soldiers.

Other changes include:

  • A more flexible design of the homepage
  • The town forum link is not shown if you are not a resident of a town
  • It will be possible to report offensive telegrams and profiles
  • Misc bug fixes
  • Ability to switch over from report to report

Version 1.20

16-07-2009

After the update it will be possible to construct forts and take part in fort battles.

Forts: Every sector now has three spots to build forts. They can be built by a town's councilors. Several buildings can be constructed in the fort, each of them giving different advantages. Constructing buildings in a fort requires products, like wood, iron and stone.

Fort battles: It is possible to try and take over the fort of another town in a big fort battle. Such a battle can be declared by a town's councilor. The fight begins 24 hours later, and the town's members should go to the fort in time to help attacking or defending the fort. The defenders have to hold the fort for 100 battle rounds, or defeat the attackers. The attackers have to take over the fort's flag that is located right in the middle of the fort and have to hold it for 10 rounds, or they have to defeat all defenders. If the attackers win, the attacking town takes over the fort.

There are still a few things that do not work as intended but are being worked on: So far no experience points are gained in fort battles and no items are found Constructing towers, gates and walls has no effect yet The store cannot be constructed yet

You can find more info about forts in the help.

Guns: A new weapon class is now available. Guns can be bought at the gunsmith and will be added to the already constructed gunsmiths. During fort battles only guns are used, dueling weapons have no effect. If you don't have a gun while taking part in a battle, you will use rocks that are lying on the ground. Dueling weapons are exclusively used in duels, guns just in fort battles. The easy way to differentiate between the two is: Guns are equipped in the slot to the right of the clothing slot, dueling weapons are equipped in the slot to the left.

Other changes: The background and the towns can be hidden on the mini map The ranking is now not sorted by name anymore, but by the date the town was finished. Shortly there will be another change that will take fort points into consideration The job "Constructing a fort" has been changed to "Constructing a manor house" to prevent confusion. The job's settings were not changed The travel speed is now shown in mph. With that we make it clearer to show if a percent bonus is relative or absolute New screen-shots have been created for the front page Health points, experience points and energy are now also displayed with numbers Dollar amounts are not shown in the Saloon anymore so that spies are less valuable

The forts are a very new feature. They are very complex and are still being tweaked. Please understand that over time we will have to change calculations and settings to create a good game balance.
