Version 1.21.37.53 – Release
2010-08-09

Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.

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

General:

- Overall performance increase (30% on our test systems).

- Player-vendors are now added to the game.

- Destructible spawners are now in Myrland. These can be destroyed to rid the land of their creatures, though some may be daring enough to move back after some time.The overall speed of melee swings was taken down a little bit.

- Took down the overall movement-speed a bit.

- Stamina cost for sprinting slightly increased.

- Optimized the loading of the login-gui.

- Added support for mount-equipment. To use these new items simply right-click them while you have a mount and wait a bit. Mount-equipment sometimes needs to be put on in a special order.
(For example: first a saddle, then a decorative plaid). If the equipment doesn't fit your current mount you will get a message telling you so. This equipment can be bought from vendors.

- Added "Combat-moves system". Currently we added just a single new combat move (SpearStance). New moves will be added on a regular basis now that the system is in place.

- Added combatmove: SpearStance, this excellent tactical move can only be executed while you are carrying a spear. It will make you place your spear on the ground leaving you open for attacks but if you anybody runs into the tip of the spear while the skill is being exectued he/she/it will take damage (based on their speed). Mounts will take a even greater amount of damage from this move.
