Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where you received profession experience messages while already maxed.
• Fixed a bug where a blocked player could invite you to his guild.
• Fixed a bug where chat messages did not have the correct height.

Even with all the work we put into the rework in our spare time, some things are still missing. So there are currently no quests for the epic weapons of the new classes and it could also be the case that some items are not available where you would expect replacements. If you stumble across such cases, please let us know in discord!

Finally we want to thank Smiter, who helped us out a lot with artwork for the item rework and is also thanked for most of the Easter items!

We all hope you have a lot of fun with the new items and reworked class mechanics. More content is sure to come!
