Publish 53
The following is a list of changes deployed as Publish 53 on June 10, 2008.
Bug Fixes
- Added a 15 minute timer for a guild to accept an alliance invite. This means guilds will no longer get stuck in "invite pending" mode. (For guilds in this situation now, once the publish goes live, GMs will be able to resolve the issue.)
- Vanguards and their allies will now teleport if they are attacked while in unreachable locations
- Players are able to resize instead of demolish houses by saying "I wish to resize my house". NOTE: This DOES count as demolishing a house and WILL condemn existing houses on grandfathered accounts. (Further note: making housing changes (placing, demolishing, etc) on Test Center does not affect houses on production shards.) Currently, removing your house in this way will also remove all items in the moving crate - be warned!

- Player vendors should now recognize the increased bank storage
- The spelling of Velocity has been corrected when a player is hit by an arrow with Velocity
