NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
========================
- When a player disconnects from the server
illegally (either via ALT-TAB or by going linkdead), their character stays in
the world for up to 45 seconds. They can be attacked by enemy players and NPCs
during this time.
- By popular demand, you can now toggle the
bad word filter on and off with the /FILTER command. This is saved on a
character by character basis. Please note that the filter is on by
default.
- There is a New APPEAL interface. You are
now presented with a number of options (Advice, Stuck, Harassment, TOSReport,
Bugreport and Appeal). This should reduce the number of spurious appeals that
get sent to Customer Support.
- When a player has an appeal, they get a
dialog box when they enter asking if they wish to refresh the appeal or cancel
it. If you have any old appeals in the system that have been resolved, please
delete your appeal. If you still need help with that appeal, then refresh
it.
- You can now see specific spell information
in-game. Right click on the spell and use the "delve" key (defaults to shift-i)
to get more information about the spell (e.g. level and type).
- When your inventory is full and you are
given a quest item, you now get a dialog telling you the item was dropped on the
ground in front of you.
- The QUICKPLAY options in the login client
now save the servername the character belongs to (instead of the word
Camelot).
- The number of tombstones in dungeons has
been drastically reduced (we had a bug that wasn't properly clearing them). No
longer will some dungeons look like a forest of tombstones...
- Monsters should no longer float like
balloons under certain network conditions.
- Product timer window added with a timer bar
for craftsmen. This should make it much easier to figure out when you are going
to be done creating your object.
MAGIC SYSTEM CHANGES
====================
A bug was introduced in last week's patch that
allowed all healing spells to be cast at half spell points, meaning Clerics and
other healers to cast their spells at much less cost than intended. This bug was
actually fixed directly on the live servers on Friday, so today's note is just
an FYI. In the future, we will release patch notes whenever a spell is changed;
sadly that did not happen last week. We apologize for the
confusion.
