UPDATE 2014-01-27

[FunkySwerve]

=================
-Fixed familiar xp exploit.
-Fixed a bug in the lowbie task system that was granting 10% of the total xp needed for the next level, instead of 10% of the xp needed to go from the character's current level to the next level. By way of example, level 30 requires 435,000xp, and level 31 requires 465,000xp. Before, a level 30 task would have granted 46,500xp. The proper amount would have been 3,000 (10% of the difference). Tasks now grant 15% of the xp required for the next level (4,500xp, in the example just given).
-Gold handouts in lowbie tasks have been doubled.
-Aybss portals will now let you pass through them if you have insufficient kills in the area (but still not if the area was despawned).
-Once you enter an Abyss layer deeper than Pazunia, you can no longer use the rest ring charger on the same server, until you attune to a portal.
-Timestop edits:
--AoE scripts will no longer fire during the duration of a Timestop spell.
--Timestop's cooldown timer is now area-wide (from prior patch).
--Timestop's cooldown timer now increments an extra 15 seconds for each successive casting in an area, per reset. Cooldown after first cast is 30 seconds, second is 45, and so on.
-HC-oriented edits
--Players may no longer put gold into placeables.
--Gold dropped on the ground in stacks over 10 will be destroyed.
-Fixed a bug giving extra uses of Greater Ruin. (from prior patch)

Two clarifications:
1) You will 'attune' to an abyss portal if you already have that attunement - the only requirement is that you be otherwise able to attune.
2) Gold dropped in stacks larger than 10 is never removed from your gold count - the drop just never happens.

One more addendum:
-Players can no longer barter gold. I'm adding the !wallet xfer <amount> command to the next update.
