News and Notes:
Veil of the Nine
- We have corrected an issue that was causing ringwraith spawns to not function correctly when appearing on a landscape.
Neighbours
- We have moved the Neighbour titles rewarded through Neighbour gifts into the Social category instead of Deeds.
- Neighbour story quests were inadvertently granting too much friendship on completion. A friendship award is still granted by quests, but the magnitude has been reduced.
- Emmathron and Brutha’s 3D portraits are no longer off-center.
- Fixed a bug when receiving a regifted neighbour gift where the gift would not be rendered in the chat window.
