The Latest Patch:
+
* The missing shopkeepers should be back.
 +
* We're slowing the rate of notoriety drops from attacks.
 +
* We're adjusting the intervals in the title scale, so you'll see that your notoriety title may well change; this is only a change in the title, and not to your actual notoriety value.
 +
* The weapon or armor moving into inventory for no visible reason has been fixed.
 +
* The problems with notoriety not being affected by spellcasting are fixed.
 +
* We tweaked the notoriety curve somewhat to adjust some of the loss rates.
 +
* Communication crystals will not use a whole stack of gems to recharge, but just the one.
 +
* Ships will no longer dump players back on land after a server restart (unless another player on the ship moves the ship before the other passengers log in).
 +
* Ghosts will be able to use the planks and give orders to the tillerman while manifested.
 +
* Objects in houses will not decay as quickly.
 +
* Jewelers purchasing from players.
 +
* Changes strength requirements and armor values for female armor.
 +
* The double axe will become twohanded.
 +
* Hair dye will be cheaper.
 +
* Prices on magic items in shops should be correct.
 +
* Armor ratings for magic armor should be correct now.
 +
* Dragon and drake AI has been tweaked.
 +
* Several sorts of knives and cleavers have had their swing rate slowed.
 +
* Iron maidens won't kill you outright, and they will have some warning to them.
 +
* Female platemail now has the same dexterity penalties that male plate does.
 +
* A bug in notoriety advancement that made it go up many times faster than it was supposed to will be fixed.
 +
* Forest birds and jungle birds have been weakened.
 +
* Zoo creatures aren't tamable anymore.
 +
* Hireling stats have been revised; the upper end isn't as nice, the stats vary a lot more depending on which one you hire, and a good knowledge of anatomy in picking one to hire will help a lot.
 +
* Miner guildmasters will be more common.
 +
* Some cleanup code to get rid of the oldstyle guards still hanging around in the forest was done.
 +
* You will get a message in the lower left corner of your screen when you cross into and out of justice regions.
 +
* The "transfer" command on pets will turn off their previous guarding and following orders.
 +
* Purchasing large items will check your backpack for the gold before automatically withdrawing from the bank.
 +
* Items in player-made chests and other containers won't be vanishing anymore.
 +
* The regrow rate on ore and lumber will be faster.
 +
* We think we've fixed another set of strange shop stocking (specifically reagents) and pricing (particularly stackables) issues.
 +
* We've now got sanity checking on the various ways of coloring items; this means that those who had found ways to get interesting skin shades and clothing hues won't be able to anymore.
 +
* Begging should be largely fixed.
 +
* The "infinite newbies" exploit is fixed.
 +
* Cloth will say how many yards of cloth are left.
 +
* The problem with all of your mandrake root being consumed at once will be corrected.
 +
* Problems with weight involving horses will be fixed.
 +
* The problem some had with resurrecting immediately sometimes not working will be fixed.
 +
* A bug with notoriety not falling under some circumstances (particularly offensive spellcasting) will be fixed.
 +
* The pet "transfer" command will cause the pet to stop following.
 +
* Reagent supply in shops will be increased.
 +
* The area west of Trinsic that has no bridges over the river will gain them.
 +
* The following items require a client patch:
 +
** Items you can move will highlight under your regular cursor (not just ones in your backpack, but also items on the ground!)
 +
** Lag issues with light sources will be improved.
 +
** Target highlighting will turn the creature, player, or NPC under your cursor while in war mode red, so you can more clearly determine whether you are targeting the right thing.
 +
** The first stages of weather! At first it will be localized and purely cosmetic, and over time we'll have weather fronts and other effects.
