As we grow in player count, we are tracking a performance issue that appears to be related to minimap icons (yes of all things.) We are disabling those and restarting to validate this.

We apologise for these teething issues, however we believe this will make a significant difference. We'll work on refactoring the minimap icon system and they will eventually return. In the meantime, use third party tools like http://lou-map.herokuapp.com/ to locate what you need. In particular, we'll have wandering healer locations up there shortly.

• The in-game Macro system will be disabled as we research a performance issue with the system.
• Thank you for your continued patience as we isolate, find, and fix performance issues and bugs.

Patch notes for Test Center are being kept track of here: https://forums.legendsofultima.online/d/28-test-center-patch-notes

• Fixed stackables not stacking when dropping objects onto containers directly
  - Added prevention for dropping objects to healthbars, this is not intended
  - Added prevention for mounting pets you cannot control over 30 difficulty
  - Removed ability to use Stack Contents on containers within player vendors
  - Fixed some stationed guards not responding to combat
  - Added prevention for using Forensic Eval against invalid corpses, or corpses that are part of the world
  - Added Vendor Glue so vendors will stop wandering for short duration while players interact with them

The Vorpal Easter Bunny that spawns when opening an easter egg nest was not intended to be tameable and they have been updated to reflect that, and any existing tames removed. Subsequently, if you had tamed and stored one on a pet broker, the pet broker should now be updated as well. Sorry for the confusion! We'll try to be more careful about things like this in the future. grimacing
