  • Changes:
    • Henry now has stacks of 999 nutrients instead of 500.
    • Souls have been taken out of NPC loot temporarily; they will be reintroduced later, when they can be processed.
    • The server now remembers and adds up <1.0 experience points; it is now possible to gain (very little) exp, even if your level is way higher than the NPC’s.
    • Tweaked exp-from-NPC function: it’s now non-linear; very weak NPCs now give slightly less exp, strong NPCs give more.
    • Increased the Hide drop rate for sheep.
    • Much faster resource respawn rates, but decreased maximum possible outcome when refining.
    • Ghosts and the swamp troll don’t attack on sight anymore.
    • Sell prices of items with hitpoints (melee weapons, armors, tools) now take their condition into account.
    • Increased respawn time for goblins at resource spawns.
  • Bugfixes:
    • Another small challenge-title related bugfix.
    • Fixed troll stomp damage when shield is equipped.
    • Some more fixes to make server and client more stable.
    • Fixed a bug where crafted items would drop to the ground even if they could be stacked into the inventory.
    • Bugfix of a server crash when text messages were too long.
    • Fixed ranged combat NPC aiming.


I’m also happy to announce that graphic errors on ATI/AMD adapters are a matter of the past!
