Corrected Consecrations, posted on Sat Sep 24 09:20:18 2016
Posted by: Borealis
Category: Guilds
A long standing bug in consecration has been fixed. Previously, some consecrated items may have lost their consecration related adjectives shortly after being consecrated. Now these adjectives should be preserved, provided that the observer has recently performed see consecration.

eg: locate consecrated papers

This fix may not be fully implemented until afte...

Category: Special
We discovered last night that some containers were incorrectly reporting how full they were, specfically containers over 100% full were reporting as if they were practically empty.

Containers that are over 100% full will start showing as over-full as the update propogates through the system, and particularly after the next reboot.

If a container is shown as being in excess of 100% full, you should be aware that you may not be able to return to the container any items that you remove from it. T...

In a fit of existential discovery, Ducks and Chickens purchased from Mrs Puddlesocks have realised that they are also birds.

A bug that enabled allowing players in property who should not have been able to be allowed has been fixed in the Ramtops housing code.

This code will be fully active after the next reboot, but may become active in some properties (leased shops and rented houses) prior to the reboot.

If you have been taking advantage of this bug to be allowed in a property that you shouldn't have been able to b...

Whilst poking at some stuff related to web blogging last night, myself and a couple of other creators managed to create a reproducible occurrence of the "wrong username on the website" error.

However, there may have been other causes, and I can't be certain that the change I made has resolved any of them. If you do notice these errors over the next few days it would be helpful if you...
