We want to share with you that Stimwalt has decided to step away from the project indefinitely and retire as a player. To Stimwalt: thank you for all of your contributions over the years and we wish you the best in your endeavors! While you cannot be replaced, you will remain with us in spirit. We hope to see you in-game! <3

PS: Soon we will work to add some in-game clones/statues to showcase past and present team members.

• Fixed issue with containers losing their original hue when being locked down and/or when choosing Container Type: None option
• Cost of fishing nets reduced slightly
• Chance to catch fishing nets with general fishing increased slightly

• Fixed an issue with some SOS maps not working that was created prior to the latest fishing patch
• Fixed an issue with some potion kegs not working that were filled or created prior to the Potion Keg patch last month; the tooltip may still show 0/200 even though it is filled, but drawing a potion from them should now be possible which will, in turn, update the tooltip when you draw a potion from it.

Two new tames have arrived in Britannia!

• The Fire Beetle is a new mount available for taming that anyone can control. This mount also acts as a mobile forge and can be used to smelt ore on the go!

• Bake Kitsunes have made their return to Britannia. These foxes are noted for their ability to cast powerful spells.

• A bug was also fixed which would cause the beetles to sometimes not follow pet commands from their owner.

After next restart:

• Players added as a friend of a guild house will be able to enter the house

• Fishing SOS treasure maps have been refreshed to work with Britannia, any existing maps should now be decipherable

• Sunken Ships will now appear in the water where the SOS treasure map is located
• Refreshed sea creatures & loot tables & a couple of new semi-rares added to strive towards (more additions to follow in time)

• Changed default security option to Co-Owners when owner is securing items

Nightmares have been spawned in Britannia!

Rideable Pack Beetles have arrived in Britannia as a brand new tamable! These beasts are not only sturdier than horses, but are the only mount that also can act as a pack animal. While any player (even non-tamers) may control the beetle, tamers may find procuring one to be a bit tricky...

Lag issues should largely be resolved. We will continue to monitor the situation. Some players may experience intermittent issues based on their path to the server.

• Messages when bandaging others have been optimized to show accurate messages
• When a group member dies, other members in the group will be alerted
• Fixed an issue with toggling options on some backpack equipment (e.g. toggling a pickaxe to mine stone)

After next restart, if the owner of a pet is dead and the pet is attacked, the pet will defend itself.

An exploit which allowed players to place houses in areas not intended for housing has been patched. If you have knowingly used this exploit to place a house somewhere it shouldn't be, please be aware that it may be subject to deletion without notice. It is recommended you move your home immediately to avoid this outcome.

After next restart, vendors now have a "Set All To Max" option, which sets the quantity of all items currently in the bill of sale to the maximum amount the vendor has on hand.

An issue causing furniture deeds to be named "Unknown Furniture Deed" or "Blank Deed" has been resolved, and any existing deeds have been corrected & should now be showing their correct name. If you find any remaining cases of furniture deeds not showing their full name please let us know.

Forges in houses will be shrinking soon! If you have a forge in your house, it will be converted to the new style forge. We've also added two additional forge recipes for you to choose from. Note: If your forge was out of bounds you may need to release it and re-place it to bring the new model back into bounds.

The stuck command menu has had another pass of improvements, adding an additional option, that can be used more frequently, and will try to move you out of stuck positions without teleporting far away, and also added an option to unstick nearby pets.
