We also do have some new things that will hopefully make this more than just a pyrrhic victory...
- Like I said, lots of little (and a few big) bugfixes going through here, by a whole slew of builders joining powers against the forces of evil!
- New feature: if you die and log off rather than respawn, you now only have to wait 4 hours for a free trip to the OOC room on login rather than waiting for a full restart (although a restart will also result in this). On the other hand, this came about from closing an exploit that was being abused; you know who you are... so don't cry when trying only turns out to be a waste of time!
- The issue with template classes (lich, death knight, vampire) losing the ability bonuses from their original race has been resolved.
- One feature is still in beta, but it's a great one: Clangeddin has reworked the appearance changer to use a custom UI instead of a conversation. A few minor glitches to smooth out, but still a big improvement!
