All worlds will be coming down today (June 23, 2008) at 12:00 noon for about 2 hours to apply build 131. Sorry for the short notice on this one...

Changes:

1. We've fixed a terrible problem with the social window that would cause significant lag on your machine if you opened it on a crowded server.

2. We've reworked how merchants repopulate their items. Most merchants will now totally replace all their items every 5 minutes.

3. We've added a promotional merchant to help pimp the Bling Gnome(tm) and retail box. You can't miss her.

4. We've added a new mechanic to skill resistances. We can now control how easily a skill can be resisted. The following skills had their resistance sensitivity changed: Unnerving Shout (+50% to resistance), Gaseous Blast (+25% to initial resistance, +50% to DoT resistance), Ring of Fire (+25% to initial resistance, +50% to DoT resistance), Dark Conniption (+50% to proc resistance).

5. Dark Conniption has been changed. As attack speed increases, the player will lose stun resistance (10% per conniption).

6. The chance to interrupt Unnerving Shout when taking damage has been increased to 10%.

7. We've reorganized Townston a bit, putting Audrey on a pedestal and moving the King's Coin vendors around to make room for the Amazonian Boutique.

8. We fixed a bug that stopped divine creatures from properly resisting divine damage and effects.
