==Patch Notes==
The Latest Patch:

*Notoriety:
**We're slowing the rate of notoriety drops from attacks.
**We're adjusting the intervals in the title scale, so you'll see that your notoriety title may well change; this is only a change in the title, and not to your actual notoriety value.
**The problems with notoriety not being affected by spellcasting are fixed.
**We tweaked the notoriety curve somewhat to adjust some of the loss rates.
**A bug in notoriety advancement that made it go up many times faster than it was supposed to will be fixed.
**A bug with notoriety not falling under some circumstances will be fixed. 
*Items:
**The weapon or armor moving into inventory for no visible reason has been fixed.
**Objects in houses will not decay as quickly.
**Armor ratings for magic armor should be correct now.
**The double axe will become two-handed.
**Changes strength requirements and armor values for female armor.
**Several sorts of knives and cleavers have had their swing rate slowed.
**Female platemail now has the same dexterity penalties that male plate does.
**Communication crystals will not use a whole stack of gems to recharge, but just the one.
**Cloth will say how many yards of cloth are left.
**The problem with all of your mandrake root being consumed at once will be corrected.
**Items in player-made chests and other containers won't be vanishing anymore. 
*Economy:
**Jewelers purchasing from players.
**Prices on magic items in shops should be correct.
**Hair dye will be cheaper.
**We think we've fixed another set of strange shop stocking (specifically reagents) and pricing (particularly stackables) issues.
**Purchasing large items will check your backpack for the gold before automatically withdrawing from the bank.
**Reagent supply in shops will be increased. 
*Ecology:
**Dragon and drake AI has been tweaked.
**Iron maidens won't kill you outright, and they will have some warning to them.
**Forest birds and jungle birds have been weakened.
**The regrow rate on ore and lumber will be faster. 
*NPCs, Guards, Pets and Hirelings:
**The missing shopkeepers should be back.
**Hireling stats have been revised; the upper end isn't as nice, the stats vary a lot more depending on which one you hire, and a good knowledge of anatomy in picking one to hire will help a lot.
**Miner guildmasters will be more common.
**Some cleanup code to get rid of the oldstyle guards still hanging around in the forest was done.
**The pet "transfer" command will cause the pet to stop following.
**The "transfer" command on pets will turn off their previous guarding and following orders.
**Zoo creatures aren't tamable anymore. 
*Miscellaneous:
**Ships will no longer dump players back on land after a server restart (unless another player on the ship moves the ship before the other passengers log in).
**Ghosts will be able to use the planks and give orders to the tillerman while manifested.
**The problem some had with resurrecting immediately sometimes not working will be fixed.
**You will get a message in the lower left corner of your screen when you cross into and out of justice regions.
**We've now got sanity checking on the various ways of coloring items; this means that those who had found ways to get interesting skin shades and clothing hues won't be able to anymore.
**Begging should be largely fixed.
**The "infinite newbies" exploit is fixed.
**Problems with weight involving horses will be fixed.
**The area west of Trinsic that has no bridges over the river will gain them. 
*Client Patch:
**Items you can move will highlight under your regular cursor (not just ones in your backpack, but also items on the ground!)
**Lag issues with light sources will be improved.
**Target highlighting will turn the creature, player, or NPC under your cursor while in war mode red, so you can more clearly determine whether you are targeting the right thing.
**The first stages of weather! At first it will be localized and purely cosmetic, and over time we'll have weather fronts and other effects.
**Counselor paperdoll problems will be fixed. 
*Some special notes:
**Existing mandrake won't be fixed, only new mandrake. It won't stack and if you use it to cast, it will all count as one mandrake.
**It will take some time for the shopkeepers to stock up to normal on the reagents. We'll keep an eye out to see if this is still having problems.
**We've heard reports of "timewarp" still occurring, so we are not listing it as fixed yet.
