2010-05-28 Game Update (47499)

+ Added a more condensed, boss-focused dungeon to the "Ancient Swamps!" Check out the "Bayou Boss Brawl" - available to all "Ancient Swamps" campaign owners after completing the full campaign and the first 'mini' dungeon.
+ Limited the "Ancient Swamps" campaign (story mode) dungeons to a maximum of Level 35. This makes the campaign dungeons a little bit easier when compared to the more condensed, more expedient 'mini' dungeons which have no upper-limit on monster attributes

+ Fixed secure trade exploit
2010-05-27 Game Update (47443)
+ Merged Alterra and Fnord servers. If your Fnord character doesn't have a name conflict with existing Alterra characters, you will get to keep the name. If your character does have a name conflict, we will rename your character to Charactername-Fnord and you will receive a free character rename. Everything will merge additively, and will do so as though you had an account on both realms even if you didn't. That means everyone that started before the merge occurs will have at least 4 character slots (plus any amounts purchased on either realm), at least 10 stash slots (plus purchased), sum of respecs available, and all characters, inventory, friends, ignores, stashed items, etc from both realms. See our website for more information.
+ Prohibit trade of items that shouldn't be tradable
+ PvP respawn now chooses respawn point with fewest number of nearby enemy players

Additionally the "Blessing of Might" gives the Enchantress caster an increase to damage (5 to 25 points) and to critical hit chance (10 to 50%) for twenty seconds. Buffs for both blessings increase per rank. The party buff aspect has not been modified
+ Added several more epic and legendary helms to "Fathom Crypt" and "Lost Expedition" boss loot tables.
+ iPad: made "Inspect other avatar" and "Give" pages consistent with iPhone version. (all stats are shown)

+ Added another PvP arena (free to owners of the "Dark Forest" campaign)!
2010-05-26 Game Update (47418)
+ Slight increase to the damage cap in Player v Player arenas.
+ "Frogmar," "Fabio," "Le Bow" are now considered 'mini-bosses' and as such no longer drop the most powerful enchanted items in the game. They still drop really good stuff... but in order to get the best of the best loot you'll need to fight your way to the final bosses in each of the 'Ancient Swamp' story-mode dungeons.
2010-05-25 Game Update (47406)
+ Increased the length of fights in PvP by reducing the amount of damage players do in Arenas.

When you reach the score limit, the game ends and match standings are displayed. Arenas will have varying sizes, player limits, and optional powerups.
+ Secure Trade - You can now trade items, gold, and potions securely with another player. To initiate a trade, inspect the person you want to trade with, then switch to the 'Trade' tab. When that person inspects you and goes to the trade tab, you'll both then be able to set what items/gold/potions you want to trade, and confirm the trade when you're happy with what the other person has offered. The trade is only applied when both sides have confirmed the trade since any modifications have occurred.
+ Elixirs - You can now purchase buffs with Gold or Platinum that can temporarily enhance your character!

+ Fixed Continue to Next Level where zones were reported as full when they were not
+ Fix mana shield not absorbing damage if there is not enough mana remaining to absorb all the damage.
+ The "Level 5" and "Dark Forest" item pack purchases have been updated. These packs no longer include items that can be looted in the game. Improved the item pack purchase by making enchanted and non-enchanted items equally weighted - so you have a higher chance of getting a more powerful enchanted item when you purchase one of these item packs.
+ Item pack items can no longer be traded.
+ Fix colors incorrectly carrying over across newlines in some ui elements.
+ iPad: Made the 'inspect other' screen consistent with iPhone version (it now shows all stats)

+ Increased the damage of 'trident' weapons. Legendary swamp trident weapons are now in the proper DPS range for one-handed weapons and for their relative rarity (compared to iron swords, ancient swords, etc.).
+ Fixed a problem where the Croc monsters would speak with a human Rogues' voice when reacting to Warriors' "Taunt."
+ iTunes store no longer sells gold, just Platinum
+ Happy 1st Birthday, Ellie!
