------ ADDITIONS & CHANGES ------


General:

- We have managed to greatly reduce the amount of packages sent between the server and client. This optimization leads to less frequent occurrences of desynch between the clients and server.


- This patch we have focused primarily on optimizing the code and graphics of the game to prevent further Client crashes. Its an ongoing process and we are working hard to smooth out the glitches and hiccups in order to bring you a more enjoyable experience.


AI & Mounts:
- The number of creatures outside Fabernum has been lowered to improve network performance.
- Rebuilt how the client moves mobs/NPCs. It's now a lot better synced up with the server and the creatures will teleport to the right spot if your client gets out of sync.
- The move speed of rabbits, weasels and chickens has been tweaked.
- Increased performance in flagging handling with pets and its masters.
- Increased overall server performance for tamed creatures.


Art & Sound:
- Fabernum has now been completely redesigned and optimized. It should no longer be so taxing on your computers memory. This in turn will lead to less lag and crashes in Fabernum.
- Added props by the cliffs south of Moh-Ki.
- The Mind Blast spell has now got sound.
- More propping has been done in the south west areas of Myrland.
- Optimized several textures all over Myrland.

Combat:
- Took down the stamina cost on melee swings.
- Stamina drain for blocking has been increased.
- Stamina drain while sprinting has been reduced.
- Stamina regain while out of combat mode and standing still will now also be lower if you are damaged.
- Increased the minimum amount of stamina you need to start running again after being forced to walk due to low stamina.
- Combat animations should now be better in synch between clients.

Magic:
- Mind Blast added. Mind blast does damage to players only. The damage will vary depending on the ratio between the targets Strength and Intelligence. Note that it does have a max damage cap.


Skills & Attributes:
- Pets now have a simplified flagging system when its tamer is offline. It uses only the neutral and globally allowed flags.
- Tamed creatures that become too discouraged to attack now become passive (passive mindset).
- Tamed creatures now have a globally allowed timer countdown same as players.
- It is now a bit harder for Thieves to steal heavy items.


UI:
- The options UI is currently being revamped. The first stage of this revamp is added in this patch. Options will now save your settings and reflect the settings you have set for your client.
- We now discourage players from manually changing their *.ini files. Please use the options available in-game.
- We have added more settings levels within the options to allow for more customization of the graphics.
- The Library UI has received an overhaul.
