Greetings fellow Fredians,

I did sneak some changes in yesterday, as those that at the least went into D3 of Styne Castle would have found. Most of those revolved around encounters I am working on still.

Later today I will upload a new version again, this will have a few things, including another update to the chests, to once again attempt to stop those pesky stuck lids, and loss of items because of it.

Later,

Makz.

Ok, new chest fix put in, this stops items becoming orphans in the database, better tracking of use, if no owner is found, items become property of Merrick Wend... so... don't want to donate to the King, make sure you pay attention to previously stated ways NOT to use the chests badly.

Changed Adamantine and Mithril Golems to drop a scroll, instead of default. Updated those in D3 Styne Castle.

All for today.

Makz.

Well, as a result of the better tracking let us hope they don't go to Merrick Wend

As much as I would *love* to hurt lid abusers, the behavior of the update actually tries to preserve people's inventory ("The Non-Lantharian Solution"). Chests were made to be persistent and I want users to feel their gear is safe. I was kidding about Merrick Wend in my update notes sorry about that Makz Orphaning shouldn't happen anymore though.

That is all in theory though. We'll see how on-the-ground testing works. Keep an eye on those oprhans.
