WORLD POPULATION

- Renton Keep: Lorded over by the rogue Duke Marcus Renton, the Keep faces danger not only from a dangerous ant invasion, but also from a demanding despotic giant. Explore the tunnels of the Mound of the Zihurr, and brave the home of the giant himself, Tharridon’s Scar. Targets players from levels 15 to 20.
- The following areas have been opened for play once more:
- Silverlake (Previously Forgotten Halls) – Discover the secrets of the Zar, and begin your understanding of the events that transpired at Trengal Keep. Target levels 18 to 22.
- The Deebs (where New Targonor used to be) – A quaint area to build your own home. Target levels 20 to 24.
- Coastal Graveyard – Further your investigations of the events that transpired at Trengal Keep, delve into the icy waters of the Northern Sea to do battle with Sirens and other foul aquatic beasts, and discover why there are so many lighthouses here… Target levels 21 to 25.
- The Ruins of Trengal Keep – This once powerful keep is now home to twisted and malevolent Gulgrethor orcs. Will you discover the true secrets of Trengal Keep? Target levels 22 to 30.

- The chunks Hilsbury Manor and Shoreline Ruins are now reopened. They contain solo and group content starting from level 15 to early/mid twenties. Hilsbury Manor contains many quests and events that should support players well into their twenties. And as a final note: any players new to these areas should begin their exploration in the City of Misthaven itself, located in the very south of the chunk, north of Veskal’s Exchange
GUI
- Fixed a bug causing the bank inventory window to have the wrong width.
