== 121108 More fixes with walls and fences ==
* Since yesterday creatures have occasionally moved through fences and walls. We have found and fixed one reason for this and hopefully that’s it. We will keep on the lookout for more reports.
* Hell horses now move 20% faster than normal horses.
* Various small other quick fixes such as stamina regain when turning and dragging, typos etc.
== 121107 Preparation Update no 1 ==
* Due to a bug when initially releasing this update a lot of creatures escaped their pens. We apologize for this. We will not make a rollback this time since it would mean downtime until tomorrow. We hope you can acknowledge that we are in a state of heavy development and thank you for your continued support.
* A new feature in the system is that relatively smart creatures like trolls and goblins will escape unlocked pens. They will however not use village settings for passing gates. Only players will be affected by that setting.
* New 3d collision detection system, mainly intended for multistory houses.
* Beds are now usable regardless of arch walls
* New houses now need to be on flat ground. Existing non-flat houses may continue to exist, but these will not support multistory and it’s related features.
* You may now improve Red, Green and Blue dye using the base material.
* Spy protection should no longer block players that converted on another server

* Epic terraforming events will now destroy walls on tiles that are too steep
== 120831 Timer, Invulnerability and Epic mission changes ==
* The recent Wind of Ages change was reverted and modified so that low stamina has the same effect as it used to. However, the effect of WoA has increased now and should match peoples expectations better.
* Removed logon invulnerability outside own deeds on pvp servers since its alt abusability exceeds the rare benefits
* Fixed the bug where finished Epic missions weren’t registered on the login server. Also balanced the power of the deities.
* Fixed a bug where the Karma option on body didn’t appear.
* Signatures no longer reset under 20ql.
* Creature movement is more smooth in the unstable client. Note that some glitches have been reported where creatures seem to keep moving in a forward line. Consider switching to the stable client for now if you have this problem.
* Unfinished altars no longer require ‘unknown’ bowls.
* Casting Bless and Nolocate should give error messages if it’s not possible.
== 120827 Monday update ==
During the update today we ran into some issues when converting the database to handle multi storey buildings. Gate locks and locks to buildings went missing for a short period but we sorted the problem quickly and everything is back to normal.
* No-drop items such as writs, settlement forms etc. should no longer be lost on server transfer.
* Fireplaces are now properly impacted by quality level. It has been bugged for a long time

Oh, and we’ve got news back in the launcher now after fixing an error in the URL from which it reads RSS feeds.
== 120702 Salt renamed ==
* Normal salt was erroneously named Source Salt during the weekend. Reverted.
* Some tools that had no skillgain should now do that again.
* Non-villager boats may now be conquered on Chaos.
* Grass growth was enabled again since it was not the reason for lag.
== 120629 Weapon skill changes ==
* Weapon skillgain for low quality/damage weapons was too high and weapon skill gain was tweaked upwards a bit overall.
* Archery skillgain for using shafts on creatures was a bug borderline exploit. 11 players on Epic with archery skill above 75 were assumed to have used this and were tweaked down towards 75. Their body control were also tweaked towards 30 by the same amount (4/5ths). Skills on Epic will be kept in order like this so report these situations faster. Archery skillgain is now more tied to damage dealt as well.
== 120626 Even more oil denerfing ==
* Olives will weight a bit more and when you press them you’ll get three times as much oil
* Lamps burn at 1/4th the rate now
== 120621 Olive yield increased ==
With this update today olive yield has been increased for higher ages. And the previously mentioned oil barrel feature is coming live.
== 120620 Circumvening the nerf ==
As expected there are worries that it will become too much of a chore to keep lamps filled with oil or tar. Now, tar isn’t _really_ supposed to be used in lamps but it will still be possible to use of course since it would be too much of a nerf to remove that. Olive oil finally has the use and value it was supposed to from the very beginning.
I’ve added the possibility to build an “oil barrel” which will hold huge amounts of olive oil. If you keep a barrel on deed the guards will use the oil within to fill your street lamps. Guards can only deal with olive oil though so you can’t fill it with tar.
I also added the possibility to build armour stand and bow rack. The models are lacking for those as well but they will arrive eventually.
I just had to restart the Epic servers for another reason so they received this update and can try it out a bit before the other servers which will be restarted tomorrow.
== 120613 Neutral Chaos deeds, portal from GV fix in todays update ==
* The starter deed guards on Chaos should now be properly neutral to players
* The portal from Golden Valley put players in the water on Epic servers which was fixed
* HOTS can now attack eachothers settlements properly without declaring war
* Traders should now display tax rate and how much they have added to upkeep in taxes
* There is now a note that you need to adhere to the code of conduct when writing Kingdom History entries;)
* We’ve received reports that Java 7 Update 5 has problems starting Wurm. It seems to be a cache issue. If you upgrade and run into errors: clear the java cache.
== 120605 Faith zone changes/Achievement bugfix ==
* Fixes a bug where achievements didn’t properly transfer between servers. Lost achievements will have to be regained.
* Due to bugginess and obsolete code, faith zones changed so only one deity may dominate an area
== 120427 Inner walls by Zcul! ==
