The servers will be coming down as scheduled tonight at Midnight PDT. The following changes/bug fixes have been made.

  • Players will no longer crash when an extremely long group message is received.

  • Added the ability to pull one item "charge" from a stack by holding down the "Control" key when left-clicking on the stack.

  • After casting a spell at an NPC, if the target were lost before the spell made contact, the caster would crash.

  • The "/ignore" command will now ignore emotes also.

  • The chat command "/e" will trigger "/emote" instead of exiting to the character selection screen.

  • We have added new sound tracks to the Planes, Crushbone, Guk, Mistmoore, Steamfont, and the Estate of Unrest.

  • We have reduced the amount of experience lost when dying by 50%.

  • A number of new quests have been added to various zones.

  • Magician pets (elemental) will now cast minor spells (to make up for their lack of kick)

  • New Magician spells on vendors and some Magician spells have moved to different vendors

  • New Magician weapons for Summon Fang & Spear of Warding & Dagger of Symbols

  • New enchanter whirl spell (check the vendors)

  • Whirl now works on MOBS better than it did on the last patch.

  • The saving throw against Memory Blur and Atone was reduced (harder to save against) from the last patch.

  • AC added to the Rune Series (Enchanter)

  • Alliance series works better (Enchanter)

  • Enchanter Attack Speed spells now have longer durations (Quickness, Alacrity, etc.)

  • Tashan (the entire Enchanter series) is now quicker to cast, costs less mana, and is harder to save against.

  • New bard songs have been added to the vendors

  • Paladins lose the spell Bravery, and gain the spell Valor

  • ShadowKnights and Necromancers gain the Word of Spirit spell (replacing Word of Shadow for the ShadowKnight)

  • ShadowKnights lose Haunting Corpse and gain Summon Dead

  • Necromancers and ShadowKnights get a new spell - Shadow Vortex.

  • ShadowKnights lose Intensify Death (replaced by Shadow Vortex)
