• Cleared "Transfer Bag" properties on existing bags so you can move the bag outside of your bank now

Warriors, rejoice! The Colosseum has moved to its new and permanent location, an island just outside of Buccaneer's Den. While it will be used for PVP server events, it is also intended to be a general use area for consensual, non-faction PVP. Thus, the following rules will take effect in the area after the next restart:

1. Combat and murder actions will not flag as criminal on the island. You will not receive murder counts on the island.
2. If a red is killed on the island, their next immediate resurrection will be free. Short term murder counts will not reset, and the free res does not apply if you were killed anywhere but on the island.
3. You cannot mark runes at or recall to the island. Teleporters are up at Britain Bank and Buccaneer's Den moongate.

Full loot is in effect on the island, so tread lightly. For those brave enough, glorious combat awaits!

Cut off heads of murderers now show the fee the deceased paid to resurrect, to become glorious trophies for your display

Non-faction players can no longer create collision with, heal, or give beneficial spells to faction players

• Ankhs should now resurrect Red players in the world.
• Buccs Den now has more Red Wandering Healers that are spread out across town.
