PVP(and by extension PVE) Patch:
-- People are about to scream bloody murder at me, just saying.
-- Healing skills and spells lowered by roughly 20%.
-- Healing while poisoned reduced to 33% reduction from 50% reduction.
-- -- For the math challenged, that means you'll heal 2/3rd what you would if unpoisoned
-- Weapons have been rebalanced
-- -- Upon testing/inspection, i think i did the normal weapon balance right the first time
-- -- HOWEVER, what i messed up was the scaling of the magical bonuses, which quickly made slower weapons beefy and light weapons crap.
-- -- The new formula has a lower slope, meaning heavier weapons will be dealing less damage and lighter weapons will be dealing more, comparatively.
-- -- -- This is mostly just to fix the way armor is working to mitigate damage, and should result in more useful weapons
-- -- All speed scaling damage bonuses (like +1-+9 or anatomy bonus) follow the new curve
-- Wrestling damage bonus from anatromy reduced by 20%.
-- Most bears got a slight nerf.

PVE Counterbalance:
-- Loot formula has been restructed a bit
-- -- This should more properly reflect monster difficulty(keyword should, we'll see how it tests in practice).
-- -- This has given an average of 18% increase to gold across the board, with more/less in variance on individual monsters
-- Magic drop possibilities increased from 15 to 17.
-- -- Added one weapon drop of level and one drop of level + 1 for drops under power
-- -- For power and vanq it's adding 2 drops of weapons of level
-- -- So as it stands for vanq/power you have:
-- -- 5.8% each for shield/chainmail/ringmail
-- -- 11.6% platemail
-- -- total armor chance: 29.4%, down from 33.3%
-- -- total weapon chance: 70.6%
-- -- For ruin/might/force:
-- -- -- same armor chances
-- -- -- 5.8% for level+1(might would drop from ruin monster)
-- -- -- 64.8% for level weapons(ruin from ruin monsters).

Maintenance:
-- NPC wipe has been done, it's been long overdue
-- -- As with past npc wipes, yes this means your housed pets/sheep/etc die too.

Balance Adjustments:
-- All field Wall potion timers (except stonewall) have had timers increased from 5 to 6.

Seasonal Changes:
-- Fall seasonal has ended and winter has now begun, will run through at least the end of january.

Bugs Fixed:
-- Wording on nexus clarified to extol the magical variance in time (i added the word approximately for those who haven't figured it out)
-- Skittering horror should no longer debugsay on web
-- Fixed a few minor bugs with the new bosses, nothing that was too noticable
-- Paralyze wall potions now have the correct timer
-- Fixed bug where resist message wasn't showing correctly in some circumstances.
-- Vendors saying "that will be xxx gold coin(null)" should no longer happen
-- -- However it is now technically possible to buy something for 1 gold coins.
-- -- You grammar nazi this at your own risk. :D

Balance Adjustments:
-- I adjusted how combat break/resume works due to movement and otherwise clashing and bouncing away. Mostly minor stuff that will be hard to notice but should "Feel" better and act more like t3a in terms of chases.

-- Most magery spells have had another 15-23% reduced casting speed
-- -- This hopefully will be the last speed adjustment, i think i've gotten it as close as i can to t3a times, we'll see how the weekend goes
-- All summon spells have had casting times increased between 20-40%.
-- Gate travel casting time has been incrased from 4.0 to 5.0
-- Mass Dispel casting time has been increased from 4.0 to 4.5
-- Recall casting time has been increased slightly.
-- Mark increased to 10 seconds to prevent speed-marking
-- Heal and Greater Heal have gotten minor increases.

Balance Reversions:
-- I've reverted the change that made all magery spells ignore armor
-- Magic can now also damage yourself
-- -- If spells are unpowered i shall fix them on a case by case basis for adjustment
-- -- However most of the original problems that made me turn these two on are now fixed/gone.

Bugs Fixed:
-- Fixed a loophole in the pet housekilling monitoring system
-- Christmas and Shadow transformations now work properly on bosses
-- -- I actually was gonna leave this bug in until someone mentioned it to give ya'll a break. :D

(done yesterday, forgot to post somehow)

Bugs Fixed:
-- Had some harsh words with the housing system over a few hours.
-- -- It was told to shape up and mind it's manners, in return i upgraded it a bit and re-setup taxes(not on yet).
-- -- Houses will now decay by their signs turning black
-- -- -- Any decayed house WILL be wiped during a house wipe(usually given 1 week notice)
-- -- -- But because the sign turns black you will be able to unlock/remove everthing to clear out a decayed house
-- -- If no houses dissapear this month, taxes will go back in starting febuary first.
-- -- A side affect of this is all doors were reset to owner-only access due to the system upgrades
-- -- All decayed houses were re-set as of today(meaning the day before this post)

Balance Adjustments:
-- You may no longer lock items down below the house level.

Balance Adjustments:
-- Moongates now longer spit you out to a random location
-- -- Now it is entirely deterministic based on various factors
-- -- This will prevent the "hit a moongate and escape" factor of overworld pvp

Development(Not put in but stuff i'm working on so you can see where the time goes):
-- Bardic spellcasting and songwriting now fully works
-- -- I still have to create the songs and balance it out, however i will enlist help for the song creation part
-- -- When it fully goes in, i will be dropping everyone with over 90 music to 60, everyone under 90 to 50, and everyone under 50 to 0.
-- -- -- This is because the method of gaining will be different and i don't want anyone starting with high level bard stuff without earning it.
-- -- -- And yes, spamming lastobject for hours isn't really earning.
-- -- -- However it will be a bit before this happens, so no worries.

New Features:
-- Three new player commands for house owning characters(not characters on the same account)
-- -- .fixstorage - Use only once on a house if you think the storage counter is messed up, it will unlock EVERYTHING, and then fix the storage counter.
-- -- .lockall - This will attempt to lock every item in the house down(and secure every chest), up to the storage limit. This means if you have more items/chests than the limit, it will only secure some of them, so make sure to check after you do it.
-- -- .unlockall - This will unlock/unsecure everything in the house.

Balance Adjustments:
-- I have run a lockall command on every house in the shard(213 total for those curious) just to catch any accidentally unsecured items
