'''New Content and Functionality'''
<br>
* The Higher Resolution Textures have been activated for this month. They can be activated through the settings panel on your user interface. In oder to activate these textures you will go to your oprtions tab and scroll down till you see the Texture Detail dropdown menu. In that menu select the Very High setting. Please note that when you activate these textures you will need to restart your client. These Textures are only available if you have Throne of Destiny.
* A new friends panel has been added to the game. This panel will replace the existing friends list that we currently use. We were not able to carry the old friends list over to the new one, but you will be able to enter the command @friends old and it will bring up your old friends list for you to see. In addition, your friends list can now hold up to 5o people on it!
* New PK/PKL arenas have been added to the game. You must be PK/PK Lite in order to get to these arenas. You can recall to these arenas by typing the command @pkarena or @pklarena. These arenas will be updated as the months go on, based on player feedback.
* The drop rate on Sezzherei's Lair Gem has been increased to 100%.
* Recalling to the Marketplace will no longer have a mana cost.
* Some changes have been made to inventory manegement. Here is a summary of these changes.
* When you open a pack in your inventory panel, that pack becomes your 'preferred' pack. If you haven't opened a pack, your main backpack is your preferred pack.
* When you add an item to your inventory in one of the ways listed below, the item first tries to fit itself into your preferred pack. If it won't fit there, it tries to fit somewhere into your entire inventory space, starting with your main pack and working down until it finds somewhere it can fit.
* Stacked items will try to merge into an existing stack if they can in the same fashion.
* This behavior applies to most of the default ways that you can add something to your inventory, such as:
** Using the R key on something external to you that can be picked up.
** Using the F key on anything, internal or external.
** Dragging an icon of an external object onto your 3D avatar.
** Making a shortcut to an object that you do not own but can pick up.
* This behavior does not apply to ways of placing an item specifically into a certain pack, such as:
* Dragging an item to a specific pack or place in a pack.Dragging an item onto the mainbackpack button at the bottom right of the UI.

'''Miscellaneous Changes and Improvements'''
<br>
* The allegiance ban list can now have up to 50 accounts on it.
* Abug where players could obtain more than one Mace of Bitter Winter has been fixed.
* Pack P now faces correctly on hooks and waddles in place.
* Click to tell is now useable on the global chat channels.
* In the Yanshi Tunnels, some of the Underminers would not fire their weapons properly. This has been fixed.
* Some players have been misusing the ability to send colored text and text with line breaks in order to try and confuse other players and impersonate Envoy's. Because of this, we are removing the abilty for players to send line breaks or textthat appears as green.
