The Loathsome Bugs Update is LIVE

As became customary, every Player/NPC Race Update must be followed by a harsh bug-fixing one! But this time, not only did we fix a ton of them with the new races, but also even more to the rest of the game! Also featured are major optimizations to the game, courtesy of our wonderful community! Now next week's Content Update will be the one voted on our previous one.
