DIPLOMACY
- Diplomacy: Bordinar’s Cleft is now using the new “Information” loot system for Civic Diplomacy. Note, you cannot spend this loot now. It is coming in a future patch.
- Diplomacy: Bordinar’s Cleft now has the full complement of Domestic, Crafter, Academic, and Noble civic diplomacy. Clergy is on the way.
- Diplomacy: Halgarad and Ca’ail Brael are now active for Civic Diplomacy!
- Diplomacy: Abulard Thistle now sends you to Pedric Godfrey to continue the Tursh newbie Diplomacy line. If you’re already at that point, Godfrey is in the Baron’s house. That’s where you continue!
- Most NPCs in Halgarad and Ca’ail Brael are now using more difficult “Civic Diplomacy” decks.

- Diplomacy: All players with greater than 100 skill have been moved to 100 skill, with the appropriate experience for that skill level. Players between 2-100 skill have been moved to 40 skill with appropriate experience. This repairs issues that were repaired last night in the attempt to repair issues with players having much too high skill levels and false experience totals, and is in conjunction with the coding fix for experience gain in Diplomacy.
WORLD POPULATION
- Halgarad updates:
- Tweaked Gnoll camps at Halgar's Sword to make them a little more “new-player friendly.”
- Reduced aggro/assist radius at the camps around the Den of Shadows so you no longer pull one gnoll and end up with 10 of his (very angry) friends.

- Adjusted all sub-8 gnolls near the Den of Shadows to be more appropriate to the quest/reward/risk expectations of that area.

- Fixed a bug in the quest: “Broken Fang Threat” that allowed players to keep kill counters even after abandoning the quest.
- Adjusted the quest: “Broken Fang Threat” by changing the mob types to be killed. Should be less of a pain to complete now (especially when 100 other people are trying to complete it at the same time).
- Clarified the directions for the quest: “Pooch on the Loose”. You should be able to find those darn poochies now.
- Adjusted point values for starting mobs so you don’t die 100 times at level 1 killing noobie mobs. Now you’ll only die if you’re not paying attention.

- Quests – Tursh, Rindol Field, Leth Nurae, Dahknarg and Halgarad’s quest rewards have been overhauled; minor adustments will continue.

- Fixed a bug preventing right-click unequip from working when you had a full main inventory but empty space in bags.
