Sorry everyone, we've disabled mounting on all of the bears. :( It wasn't intended to make all bears mounts after the Steam launch when they were added. Don't worry though, we're going to add them to the world in
a meaningful way so that they matter! Bears lives matter! Thanks for your understanding.

• Alchemists now buy and sell regular potions.

• The red moongate in Britain has vanished, and access to the new dungeons is now available using wagons near the Britain, Moonglow, Nujel'm, Magincia and Vesper graveyards, or directly via Wind's entrance in Misty Caverns just outside Riverside. Young players cannot use the graveyard wagons but can still enter via Misty Caverns.
  - Added torches in Misty Caverns between the crystal to Wind and the tunnel exit to Riverside.
  - Added a second healer to Wind's north-eastern area.

It's time! Phase 1 of the new player experience includes:

- Reopening the sewers, with a sewer token system and a sewer vendor with suitable items for young players
- Sewers will be accessible by young players only
- All young players will receive a 'guidebook' in their initial player loot that guides them towards our discord, wiki and the sewers as a starting dungeon
- Young players are now safe from other players, they can't be attacked with weapons, spells or pets
- Young players can still have beneficial spells cast on them by other players
- Young players cannot heal other players unless they are also young. This includes both magery and bandages
- We now have a mechanic to limit young player access to events as required
- Note that if you attempt to attack a young player, while you won't be able to land any damage, you WILL be flagged criminal. Naughty you!

Phase 2 is still to come. It will include the promised quest system, once we are able to move to the latest CS build after steam release. It will also include a dedicated tutorial area where young players will start. More on that soon!

- On an unrelated note, we are now serving custom assets (like Covetous and the other dungeons) on a global CDN. What this means for you is downloads of new files as they are updated should be much faster.
