2019-07-27 Saturday
- once more a lot of work went into reducing the allocations to reduce the gc pause frequency / duration.

- animists: while near a keep or tower (you enter xy message) the cast range for summoning a main pet and for summoning a fnf shroom pet is reduced to 300. This does not affect the range of the actual pet, just the range of the summoning spell. For reference: In OF we had a shroom exclusion zone covering enemy keeps until the first gate was open, we had no such thing since switching to NF. Live has a similar range reduction when casting on keep structures - fixed a rare issue (2x since launch with the occurrence today) leading to the pvp kill gold reward overflowing adding an absurd amount of mithril - to prevent similar future issues characters are now limited to 10 mithril. Any transaction adding money and resulting in more than 10 mithril on a character will be cancelled, regardless of the source, the to be added money will be discarded / deleted. The 10 mithril are now a new hard cap server side to discard the results of overflow issues - GC pause reduction change #3, a pretty large change that should in the best case be completely unnoticeable. Please report new(!) mob / pet behavior related issues.

2019-07-02 Tuesday
- fixed an issue that in some cases a random mob was removed when another unrelated mob respawned (this is most likely the cause for some mobs disappearing from the instance) - fixed a rare issue that could cause the spell queue to lock up requiring a relog to be able to cast again - second round of the GC pause reduction, this time mainly regarding spells. Due to the extensiveness of this change there is a chance for some issues, please report things like a locked up spell queue or any weirdness really.
2019-07-01 Monday
- lots of work went into reducing the frequency / duration of the small hourly lags / pauses, this is still ongoing and will take quite a few more changes. This change has the potential to lead to some issues with mob respawning, if there are any they should become apparent within an hour of uptime

The same applies to any possible exploits you might discover. 5) Please treat our staff respectfully, as we do the same to you. 6) Treat your fellow players as you want to be treated yourself. 7) Please use LFG chat for finding groups. 8) Please watch your language on public channels 9) There are plenty of mobs and spots everywhere, so please don't fight over a mob
Keeping all this in mind will create a great community which we all can enjoy!
Have fun!

Welcome to the Phoenix Stress Test!
Characters will remain, but all progress you made/gained this weekend will be wiped (items, gold etc.) When you login at launch day, your characters will be exactly where you logged it out, but level 1 and with empty pockets. Guilds and Alliances created will remain, creating one in the stress test would save you 50g to make the guild and potentially 200g to assign an emblem, further it would allow you to collect merit points right away on launch. Houses / lots will not remain, lots will be 300g right now but on launch they'll start at 94p and get reduced by 1.2p per hour.
Freezes, general connection issues and much more fun stuff is to be expected early on, depending on player count. Server restarts take about 1 minute or less usually. Depending on what kind of problems we encounter we might potentially disable mob pathing or even LOS, both would require a restart.
There is at least 1 freeze bug still in there, it happened once or twice in the last 3 months but just wasn't reproducible with the low hundreds we had at that time, we hope to encounter it early on.
