An account cannot have characters in different factions on the same shard
Removed 30 day character age requirement
“Young” players cannot join factions
“Young” players will be removed from guilds that join factions
One vote in faction elections per account
Only one character per account may run in the elections
Quit time reduced from 7 days to 3 days
Resolved issues with ghosts using stairs
Spring Cleaning 2008
Ah, how time flies. Spring has come once again to Britannia, but the sweet smell of blossoming flowers outside our homes can’t belie the memories of battles fought long so very long ago. Or is that the chest overflowing with Ophidian weapons in the corner? Or maybe it’s the bag of cursed artifacts hidden upstairs?
Time to cleanup, Britannia!

Spellweaving: Essence of Wind. Casting Speed and SSI debuff potency have been flip flopped Fixed an issue with Ronin not being able to access secures in their own houses if permissions were set to "guild" The Curse spell should no longer sometimes last past its intended duration When a monster casts Curse on players the icon should now show in the buff icon tool bar Fixed bugs where Paroxymus's swamp dragon can despawn if it is killed

Fixed a bug where some "Sacks of Flour" could not be used as a cooking ingredient Players guarded by pets that are attacked via the Paralyze spell in a guard zone will no longer get guardwhacked Flattened the ground to remove pit in Moonglow, on tram/fel. Players who transfer to a shard from another will no longer start in Magincia.

This publish implements several changes to prevent house placement exploits.
15 day character age requirement to place or trade a house Water barrels/magic fields/etc will no longer block house placement When a house is placed on top of a moongate, the placer will get a message about placement being blocked, and the moongate will be destroyed (at both ends.) IDOC behavior (houses that collapse through decay) When an IDOC drops, housing cannot be placed on the lot for a random amount of time Items that drop from the IDOC will have protections against scripted looting House placement tool will have a cooldown if used too many times in a given time period Must now wait one hour after building a home before demolishing it (previously 15 minutes)
