• An issue has been resolved with being unable to beg the town vendors
  - An issue has been resolved with double-clicking a forge and targeting a container not starting the auto-salvage process
  - Only items inside of the container at the time that auto-salvage was initiated will be processed, avoiding any items added to the container after starting auto-salvage; This should resolve issues related to items being created in/moved into the container during salvaging causing some items to be salvaged even though they are not salvageable.

Existing pet deeds were originally scheduled to expire on 1/1/2020 but as you know we had delayed that to give people more time to claim them. Existing deeds will now expire on 6/15/2020 and existing deeds will be removed from the world at that time.
