- Fixed that you could freely PK players that were just joining the game
- Fixed that if you opened a window during autorun, you could run forever regardless of stamina.
- Fixed that when you died, you could still turn your remains with mouselook.
- When a character is attacked, its stance resets to "full defense".
- Fixed that tab completition was sometimes changing chat command to /tell from e.g. /say.
- Fixed that when negative HP rates lowered HP to zero, the character was not killed.
- Fixed that vitals were not adjusted when they were at maximum value.
- This means that negative rates (e.g. spells) were not always applied.

- Laanx temple has been expanded adding a new room in the upper level.
- The sewers have been lit up a bit, and many torches have been added and fixed.
- Jayose library has been expanded, with new shelves types and more space to walk.
- We added few new faces variations for the Ynnwn male characters. You can see those new faces in the char creation.
- The game now supports the feature to add a description to any static object (like trees, statues, roads, stones, furniture, etc...). We just started using it, but you can right click on the book in the new room of laanx temple to get its description. We plan to add many descriptions to give more deepness to the background.

Features
- Pets (familiars) added. New /pet command controls them.
- Frame rate limit added to Options. Frame rate limit is 62.5fps by default.
- Hair color for new characters can be changed. Existing characters will have to buy and use dye when it becomes available.
- Skills window has been reworked into categories. The category tab will blink if there is a skill available from the trainer.
- Gave GMs the ability to award XP for completing GM-created events.
- Right-click quick chat pop-up menu has been disabled.
- If you /use with an argument it wil assume you are trying to consume.
- /equip defaults to 1 item being used
- Support added for chained quests
- Some fixes so guild notes are actually usable:
- The gui now sends the targeted person's charcter id instead of your own, so it is possible to send notes.
- Private notes are only viewable by that character, and can be sent by any member of the guild. They are appended, not the best formatting, but it works for now.
- Creating a guild now has a confirmation dialog that explains the requirements.
- Re-wrote invite spam-blocker:
- Now only triggered on declines, so as to not block legitimate invites.
- Penalties now increase with each decline:
- 1 min lockout
- 5 min + warning
- 10 min + 10 advisor point fine + 10 duel point fine, if duel spam + death
- 30 point fine(s) + death + kick from server
- Penalties expire with gameplay time, and can be lowered by getting an accept from a player with no penalties and a enough advisor points.
- Penalty level is saved to the player's account entry in the database, so repeat offenders can't escape it. (relog resets to 3rd level)
- Enhancements to the looting system:
- Roll for loot enforcement: If a player in a group attempts to take instead of roll for any loot, the roll winner will be prompted to allow the action.
- Range restriction for rolling: Only group members within 30 meters (10 times normal loot range) can win a roll for loot.
- Implemented discard quest feature.
- /my command added
- Updater improved to be more efficient
- Add $target to shortcuts. Inserts the name of the player or object currently targeted into a command to replace each $target.
- Made it so if a spell -can- be cast on you (say, Life Infusion), and you have no target, it casts on yourself
- Improved NPC fighting behaviour so it's not cancelled by the server when the NPC leaves the range.
- Improved NPC navigation - they should hug walls less now.
- Add new icon to NPC right-click interact menu to chat to the NPC. Switches cursor to the chat window.
- Exiting the death realm now spawns you at your racial spawn point.
- /marriage command added
