Hi, folks! This is mostly a small update, just dealing with a few critical issues in the most recent update, and one big change (which I couldn't really separate from the bug fixes; I felt like a few of the bug fixes were important enough to push this update out to Steam early!).

Big change:

• Subscribers no longer play every day. Subscribers now play a different number of days per month, and the number of days they play varies based upon their addiction level (as their addiction level goes up, they'll play on more days per month and for slightly longer per day)
  
  This change will result in about half as many subscribers being logged in at once (on average), which will reduce pressure on your region population limits as well as your login queues, without changing your total number of subscribers or your overall subscription fee income. Plus, it just makes more sense in terms of real-world MMORPG subscriber behaviour.
  

• Fixed a number of player AI issues while doing quests or grinding for XP, where every player could end up trying to fight only one monster inside a monster zone, and where sometimes newly placed monsters would not aggro against players until after a save/load.
• Fixed a bunch of broken translation strings in the German language.
• Improved player questing/grinding AI to prefer to fight closer monsters, instead of picking entirely random monsters within a zone.
• Combat ability changes were being lost if you switched from viewing one ability to another ability without clicking the 'Apply' button first. We already were auto-applying changes if you changed tabs or closed the window or clicked the 'back' button on the Design interface, but had missed the "switch ability" action. Now we're catching it and applying any unsaved changes at that time!
• Fixed the game's "No Sound" mode to invoke correctly, in the event of FMOD seeing audio devices during startup but being unable to open any of them. The game now successfully gets into 'no sound' mode, and displays a message on the desktop to let you know.
• New music track for the "version 1.0.0" cutscene.
• Fixed an issue which could cause a crash-during-load if you have placed a monster zone right up against a water border, and one of the monsters has wandered slightly outside of its region during the save.
• Fixed 'Focus On' camera movement, which could abort before you reached the target if you were trying to focus on an extremely distant target.
• Fixed a crash bug in the ability editor if you set an ability effect's modifier value to be "-.", which isn't a number. (reported twice ever)
• Fixed a rare travel bug which could cause players to spawn their own flight point raven for short non-flight-path movements, if their most recent long-distance travel finished precisely on a flight point.
