Changes in Groups
Want to see what’s going on and who’s in a Group before you join?
· In public groups, players that are not members of the group can see who is in the group before they join.
· In public groups, players that are not members of the group can read what topics are being discussed..
· New public groups will have these permissions by default
· Existing public groups will have it turned on IF they currently allow these permissions.
· Private groups are not affected. If you do not currently allow these permissions, they will not be turned on.
Animal Changes
· Seems that the animals of Baqala are saddened by the nostalgia… Pigs, Butterflies, and Chickens no longer inhabit this space.
New Renderer
No need to leave out the milk and cookies, I’m talking about the performance testing from last week, not Santa’s aviation preferences. Jono, what kind of cookies do *you* like?
· During last week’s testing of the new, fancy, faster, renderer built for smoother play, the initial bugs were squashed and it’s now ready to go. All players will be using the speedy new client. Let us know what you think of it! Special bug report topic for it here.
