• Some people discovered that the rock layer had become more soft and started to mold it, but they also noticed that it had some weird spongy characteristics causing it to pop extrusions now and then. This behaviour has now gone away and the extrusions have disappeared. Scientists are "befuddled".
• Creatures are now more picky when you try to tame them, accepting only food when they are hungry that they deem worthy of eating.
• Some late changes to the christmas gifts were added.

• As an early christmas gift to everyone, you may now mine on the rock surface layer again (it was possible a few years ago). You now need to tunnel if you want to create a tunnel - the standard mine action will only lower the nearest corner like dig does. For now you will not be able to mine near cliffs.

• The base protection level of armours are lower. Base protection level is the percentage of damage that is reduced at armour quality level 1. The change means that most low quality armours will be less effective. Also cloth, leather and studded leather will protect less compared to chain, plate and drake armours since their max protection level has been lowered as well. They are lighter to carry however, and you evade blows easier which are other benefits they provide.
• If this change means that you are punished too severely by creatures such as guards now they may have to be downpowered.

• There were changes to evading. You evaded too seldom before. The new code takes into account mainly your body control, carried weight and armour type. This affects creatures as well so some may have become a bit harder to hit.
• Armours were changed. Mainly Plate, Chain and dragon armours were improved compared to the others because of the evasion changes. NOTE: Armours will still change some in the next update.
• Sorry for the extensive downtime today. As usual we are trying immensely to please you but on very rare occasions like this you will notice that we fail. Today the Jenn home server lucked out - another year it's another server.
