Today's update is aimed at helping address some of the memory leak issues that some users have been experiencing. This is a smaller than usual update as we are focusing on testing the upcoming batch of new content changes and additions that we currently have scheduled for next week. We know that the memory leak issue was affecting users game experience though and we didn't want to hold it back due to the testing on the other content so have decided to roll it out today on it's own.
Please note we are still looking into this issue as a priority and will be continuing to optimize this in future updates as well.

Player Character

• Dead team members will now get quest kill credit if they are within range.
• You now only prohibited from entering stealth mode if team members are in combat nearby.
• All your team members and their pets will now get the fatality buff when a team member performs a fatality.
• The mentor and apprentice will see an onscreen message regarding confirmation or declining of pending apprenticeship requests.
• Mesh effects during spellweaving should no longer rotate with the character.

• Animations for the 'grin', 'laugh' and 'laughheartily' emotes have been tweaked for both male and female characters.
• Emote 'squirm_on_ground' has been renamed to 'lounge', to better fit the animation.

Greetings fellow players.

While it has been some time since I last gave you an update, I wanted to touch base and let you know what we are working on at the moment and where we are going in the times to come. I want this update to focus on what is actually happening to the game now, what we have done, and also some of the reasoning behind our choices going forward.

      As per my first and latest Diary to open up. I wanted to touch up on the subject of Funcom and their decisions to ban based on recent exploits utilizing the prime and charge bugs. While I certainly do understand and know for a fact that exploits should not be tolerated, I don't understand why players are suffering repercussions for the discussion of it on the official forums, nor do I understand why there is not a formal warning or "few hour" temp ban.  Were talking full fledged bans that last over a few months. If they're doing that, what's going to bring the players back? Some good with the bad, and those with the will and desire to play won't be able to.
