- Elysium and Aboleths are now full Limbo areas like the Hells; random loot drops in these areas have been upgraded to Hells-quality.
-- The first two maps of Aboleths remain the same as they were before.
- The rate of +16 gems dropping in the Deep Elemental Planes has been doubled, and several more creatures which spawn there now drop ingredients.
- Physical damage immunities in the Hells have been tweaked slightly. In addition, Pit Fiends and Malebranches have had their physical immunities reversed (that is, Pit Fiends now take the damage type Malebranches did before, and vice versa).
- Physical damage resistances in the Hells have been lowered slightly to improve the lot of dexers.
- The damage from Evards Black Tentacles and Blade Barrier has been decreased somewhat.
- The maximum increase for Lore is now 200% in all areas rather than 300% in the Hells and post-Hells areas.
- The auction and priced markets have been consolidated onto Hub 1 and Hub 2. You can now auction 3 items per server (instead of 2) and sell 10 items per server (instead of 5). This is not preparatory to the new market/auction/storage system we are working on; it is so we can bring Hub 3 and Hub 4 up and down to meet player demand more easily.
- New megadamage gloves for monks have been added to Beholders, the Toyshop, and the Catacombs of Dulvuroth.
- Support for spiked and bladed gloves have been added; in support of this change physical damage types have been removed or transmuted from existing gloves.
-- Blood Sport are now bladed gloves (slashing).
-- Halaster's Madness are now spiked gloves (piercing).
-- The inherent damage bonus enjoyed by unarmed monks now matches the damage type of their gloves; spiked gloves will add piercing damage and bladed gloves will add slashing damage.
- Bard song and curse song have been redone to use a point assignment system. You can find more information on the point system, and assign points, by using the !bardsong command.
-- Bard song/curse song ac bonus/penalty have been halved.
-- Caster bard soak song has been removed.
-- The Legendary Artist feat has been added. It adds 1 to the effective song level of bard and curse song, and allows a second configuration of both bard song and curse song that the bard can toggle between using !opt song and !opt curse. Only one song per bard may be active on a target at any time.
-- Harper Scouts gain 8 song points per level to buy bard song points with, though they can only use them if they have bard levels.
-- Dwarven Warchanters receive 7.5 song points per DwD level, in addition to the normal 10 for their bard levels.
-- Dwarven Warchanter requirement Skill Focus Intimidate has been changed to Still Spell.
-- Pale Master lichsong has been reworked to be usable much more often.
-- With LFF1 Outsider, Shifters in Leonal form can now use Rage for a Bard Song ability. The song level uses the same calculation as Harpy Curse Song.
- Purple Dragon Knights have been edited for Higher Ground:
-- PDK Rallying Cry AB bonus has been rescaled to the bard song AB bonus progression of 1 plus 1 for every 10 additional hit dice including legendary levels, up to a maximum of 6 at 51 hit dice. This bonus does not stack with bard song. The duration has been increased to 1 round per point of charisma modifier. If the character has 41 or more hit dice and 5 levels of PDK, then the duration is doubled.
-- PDK Heroic Shield AC Dodge bonus has been changed to 1 plus 1 per level of PDK, and the duration increased to equal Charisma modifier (it is a normal dodge bonus, and does stack with bard song). It was also made undispellable.
-- PDK Inspire Courage now removes fear in addition to its normal effects, and grants temporary immunity to fear effects. Its duration has been extended to 5 rounds per level of PDK, and a second use per day has been added
-- PDK Fear spell has been changed to an AC penalty effect of (hit dice including LLs + 1)/8. The AC penalty does not stack with curse song. The duration has been increased to 1 round per point of Charisma modifier. If the character has 41 or more hit dice and 5 levels of PDK, then the duration is doubled.
-- PDK Oath of Wrath also grants critical immunity versus the racial type of the enemy chosen for the duration. The duration doubles to four times the character's PDK levels at level 41.
-- PDK Final Stand feat has been given 2 additional uses per day. Instead of granting temporary hit points, it brings all allies in a large radius (5.0) to their feet, removing knockdown effects. The radius increases by 1.0 for every 6 points of Charisma modifier the PDK has, up to a maximum of double the normal radius, or 10.0, at 70 Charisma.
- Subraces have been tweaked:
-- The Half-Guardinal subrace had its -2 Wisdom penalty removed.
-- The Furchin subrace had a +2 Intelligence bonus added.
-- The Kolyarut subrace had 2 subtracted from its +4 Constitution bonus.
- The SIMTools !ignore command is now permanent until you !unignore the target. Note that you must be in the same area as your target to !unignore them, as you will be unable to send them a tell.
- Bug, exploit, and documentation fixes.
