=== [[Known Issues]] ===
}}
* May not be a bug, but the NPC in Eastham, [[Asheron's Investigator]] still gives no reward for the [[T'Thuun's Marauders]] quest.
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Asheron's Investigator tells you, "My Master Asheron has been in discussions with your Queen about the Patriarch Raids. She sent Scouts out to collect the same stones the Patriarchs sent their minions to collect. Once we have enough of the stones to test we may be able to discern the Patriarch's reasons for collecting them."</font><br>
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Asheron's Investigator tells you, "Help the Royal Scouts collect the stones and then return to me."</font><br>
* [[Pumpkin Buffer]]s are still in game. (Were turned off shortly after patch went live.)
* For some users the cage at the [[Monster Fights]] has opaque hazy textures or solid black that obscure or hide completely the interior, regardless of texture settings. Others are able to see into the cage. The texture seems to be related to another texture (it changes when revisting the location, has been brown, tan, dark green, black, and red).
* [[Monster Fights]] Creature killed a bystander player. When standing near the cage and at the end of the fight, the winner slew a player.
[[Image:Monster Fights Bug.jpg]]
* [[Monster Fights]] Players can attack the creatures.
* At 409 buffed Creature Enchantment, when you try to cast Tusker Leap you get: "Your magic skill is not high enough to have much chance of success at this spell."
* All channels except allegiance frequently fail to open correctly when logging in.
* Issues with items stacking in side and main packs.  Example:  Cannot separate a stack of MMD notes for vendor.

Can't you smell the stink of dirty socks?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I, for one, welcome the new global warming that's come along with the higgledy-piggledy in the ley lines. Let T'thuun and his gang of redheaded stepchildren keep widdling into the mana pool, as long as it keeps my robe from freezing to the ground again. Of course, if they start messing with the stout supply, then I'll have to go and kick some tentacle butt."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'd go to Sanamar myself to bet on some of those monster fights, but there's a dangerous stout oversupply that is threatening the economic foundations of this town, and someone's got to suck a few up for the team."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, so the alchemists have made even more powerful throwing phials, eh? Am I the only one who thinks it's a very bad idea to have even more destructive phials in the hands of people who aren't properly trained in the art of thrown weapons?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The only giant gift box I want would be full of ale!"

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Easy guys, I drink my stout just like the rest of you - one sip at a time. Except, once my mug's empty, I make gold gromnies."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I found a nicely packaged little gift box the other day. I was tempted to open it, but I resisted the temptation. The last time I opened up a strange gift that some stranger had left for me, I ended up on this godforsaken world."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, wait, that's how I ended up naked and penniless in Canfield with a big bruise on my forehead. I ended up here because I drunkenly stumbled into a portal, thinking it was a clever new kind of outhouse."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went out to Snowhaven the other day. I magnanimously tried to share some stout with one of the snowmen out there, but he just kind of melted into a puddle of stouty goo. Those snowfolk, just can't hold their liquor."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's a time for giving and I hear someone has left giant gift boxes around Dereth. Mine was full of ale."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Of course it only lasted me a day."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "New, more powerful throwing phials? Bad idea. It's hazardous enough with the phials people already carry around. Ever seen a bar fight when some phial-flinging macehead falls on his drunken behind? I've gotten very practiced at using my mug to cover my pretty face, when the shards of glass go flying."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho, so there are supposed to be rare monsters stalking the societies' private hunting reserves, eh? You know what that is? It's a scam to keep people from wanting to visit there! Just like how I tell everyone how terrible Berkholt's stout is, so there'll be more for me."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oops. Berkholt didn't hear that, did he?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, winter is my favorite time of year... Especially that magical night when good little boys and girls get delivered a gift of sausage by - no, wait, that's not it, I'm thinking of the wrong holiday."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "T'thuun's coming! Bring it on! I'm tired of running from him! He can send whatever kind of patriarch goons he wants to collect my gambling debts! I still say that match I bet on was rigged! Never trust an archdemon to honestly promote a fight."
