1. You may now only hold a Faction Sigil for 20 minutes instead of 1 hour, after the time expires it returns to it's original location it was stolen from.2. Fixed a major bug with traps and faction commanders not being able to remove their own traps. (Modified to work per OSI as intended on DFI.)
3. New System: PvE Monsters is new Destard, Shame and Deceit.
There are are one of each in each dungeon, each drops a it's own unique StatueMaker.
These are really cool so you should try to get these, each of the new mobs will have the same stats.
Instead of making them ultra strong so Evo people can farm on them all day, we've decided to make them fairly strong but have a low chance of dropping the statue(s).
The chance will be 1 out of 300
So statistically if you kill 300 you'll get 1.
Sounds like a lot to kill, but they're worth it and will be worth a fortune if you get one, with any luck

And yes I'm aware it says this was posted in 1969, but those were the good years... And don't forget, "Road? Where we're going - we don't need roads!" but seriously, yes It's a Joomla bug I'll fix soon.

We'll be bringing the server tonight for a small update tonight to address some balance issues, and various bug fixes.
1. Faction Blessed Weapons will now be based upon the amount of towns your faction owns.
I.E. If you own 1 town, your item will be blessed for 1 day. And so on.
The era of 21 day blessed faction power runics is over.
2. All final stage Evo pets with the exception of steeds will have their control slots at 4.
This will mean you will only be able to have a etherea/horse and an evolution dragon/spider
at one time.
3. Faction corruption time has been increased to 10 hours from 6 hours, 6 hours was slightly too
short, in realtivity to this change, purification has been increased by 1 day, purification is now 3 days.
4. Small Evo Spider changes have been made so their stats are more static, rather than variable at end stages.
5. All the pet summon gumps have been revised from their terrible ugly state.
6. Explosion pot random timer has been reduced by 500ms, the random timer is now between 750ms to 1500ms, this will make it easier to time throwing the potions, but at the same time completely negating the ability to script throw.
7. Several internal changes.
Comments welcome [here]
