Please scroll to the top of this thread for recent changes.

Note with version 38:
The underlying problem with human biopets' resistances is fixed, however the damage done cannot be automatically undone. I will announce what fate those damaged biopets will have (they will somehow be automatically all fixed by a certain degree, just have to decide on that).

Comment on version 37.10:
One thing that's been on my list is also to define the ML dungeon regions. Which means that there are felucca dungeons, that the server doesn't recognize as Felucca dungeons (where it's not possible to recall out or use the ball of summoning). I don't know when this will be added, definitely not within a week, but just to let you know that this is a glitch and it will be fixed someday.
