[[Game Updates|Back to Game Updates]]

This month's patch introduces the Mail system, adds a number of Map improvements and More! Also included at no additional charge: five new quests, Travel Essence, and a slew of misc. updates and performance improvements!

*Tech
**Fixed an issue causing some audio clips to be loaded into memory multiple times.
**Adjusted some weapon texture settings for better performance.
**Improved the overall performance of overhead nameplate initialization. This was done by increasing the initial pool and properly allowing them to initialize their internal data at the start of the game rather than their first use. This was causing considerable slowdown in areas with high mob density (especially humanoids) and should improve initialization performance in these areas a bit. There are still a number of humanoid initialization performance improvements that are being worked on.
*Environment / Art
**Fixed stuck spots in Newhaven Valley, Dryfoot, Dryfoot Stronghold, Grimstone Canyon, Grizzled Peaks, Ember Veins, and Aquifer.
**Updated the Proving Grounds collider so that your feet are more firmly planted on the actual surface.
**Updated Crystalized Great Sword visuals.
**Adjusted LODs on a number of props.
**Removed mushroom growing inside of a tent on the character select screen.
**Increased the time between Shriek idle ticks which decreases the frequency in which they shriek.
**Scale armors have been colored.
*UI:
**Fixed an issue with the per-item repair icon showing for items with 0 AC.
**Fixed Toxic Spit ability emote to not reference "you" if it spit on anyone nearby.
**Added global repair icon next to player nameplate. This new icon will appear next to your nameplate when one of your equipped items is operating at less than 100% capacity. For armor this triggers when one is below 80% durability and the AC is suffering. For weapons this triggers when one is below 20% durability and its damage is suffering. The tooltip of this icon will state which slots are impacted.
**Added a button to tutorials which will open your log to the appropriate tutorial entry.
**Added an "Open Map" button to the Monolith context menu.
**Updated the confirmation text when forgetting base roles, specializations, and professions to be a bit more specific about what you will lose.
**Known recipes for a profession that you have forgotten will show as "Previously Known" rather than "Already Known" on their tooltip. However, these will be considered unknown recipes when it comes to loot filters.
*Design:
**Added juice to pie vendor at the Proving Grounds.
**Spider Stalker can no longer go Ashen.
**Adjusted all npc Resilience buffs so that they will no longer use them until they are close to death. These abilities now last longer and have a longer cooldown. This should provide more time for players to deal with these buffs while also not wasting the NPC's cooldown before needing it. Note that these buffs fall off after a specific number of hits OR when the time expires.
**Adjusted npc heal abilities to only be used when they are at lower health.
*Tasks
**Fixed a typo in the Northreach Plateau task.
**Grimstone Canyon "Doe" task expanded to include all Deer.
**Redshore Ridgebacks tasks now only require 5 ridgebacks and 10 crocs.
*Quests
**Added "The Ballad of the Merry Five"
**Added "The Cor'duun Heresy"
**Added "Into the Drift"
**Added "The Legacy of House Hanse"
**Added "A Puzzling Inheritance"

'''New Stuff'''

Mail

You can now mail other players in Embers Adrift! You can send them a simple letter, attach and item and/or coin, or send an item cash-on-deliver (COD). The recipient of these messages can either accept or decline any attachments; when declined these will be returned to the sender. If something was sent COD the recipient must pay the cost before they can accept the item (the cost will be returned to the sender as an attachment). Mail boxes have been added to Newhaven City and most major encampments North of the wall.

A few important bits of information:

*Sending a simple text only message has a flat rate.
*The per-item rate is based on the item's category (color). Think of this as insurance. These prices are subject to change based on player feedback.
*There is 1 item attachment slot and 6 subscriber-only attachment slots. These additional attachment slots are provided as a convenience.
*You cannot send mail to yourself.
*You cannot send mail to other characters on the same account.
*Messages are polled on the social server and hence there can be a delay of a few minutes before the mail is received.
*Mail expiration time is currently set to 10 days.
*Returned mail has an expiration time currently set to 10 days (in other words: it refreshes when returned to sender).
*There is an attachment limit on your inbox of 20. This value represents the number of messages in your inbox with an unaccepted attachment (items and/or coin, multiple items attached to a single message still count as 1). No further messages with attachments will be able to be sent to you until these are accepted/rejected. The value of 10 is subject to change based on player feedback.
*A functional mail system is the first step towards any sort of auction house / job board / bazaar / consignment shop / etc. We're still tinkering with designs in this space but having mail in place opens up our options for the future.
*Mail is NOT available for trial players.

Map Improvements

We have added functionality of the in-game map to allow for pan/zoom & loading of different maps. We have also expanded the teleport functionality that was previously implemented for Monolith-->Ember Rings to work for Monolith-->Monolith teleports. This means that while standing near a Monolith you can teleport to a different Monolith via the map as opposed to the context menu typically used (at some point in the future this context menu will likely be removed in favor of using the map).

At the top of the map window you will now find:

*World Icon: hitting this button will take you back and forth between your current map and the world map. You can also right click anywhere inside of the map while on a zone map to back out to the world map.
*Zone Dropdown: this dropdown will list all of the zones you have discovered and can load + the world map. Selecting one of these will load that map.
*Zoom In/Out: clicking either of these will either zoom in, or zoom out. Alternatively you can zoom via your mouse wheel.
*Reset Zoom: clicking this button will reset the zoom value.

In addition to the above functionality you can now click on zone line markers (or zone names on the world map) to load that particular zone.
(note that the map window still cannot be resized; this is on the todo list)

Travel Essence

One of often voiced critiques about the Alchemy system is that higher level players cannot acquire Ember Essence reliably in lower level zones. This can disincentivize players from visiting lower level zones as they might not have enough Essence for traveling back to higher level zones. Since implementing fast travel via the Monoliths we have been brainstorming different ideas on how we might allow players to also pay for travel with in-game currency; this would add a natural gold sink in game while allowing players an alternative means of to pay for travel. However, using currency at the Monolith didn't make much sense from a lore perspective.

Further brainstorming sessions led us to the idea of a specialized "Travel Essence" or TE for short. The basic gist is that we double the capacity of each player's Ember Stone and the added capacity can only be filled TE. This allows players to "bank" some of their Essence for travel while reserving the rest for abilities. In addition, if players were required to pay for this conversion it adds a universal (but optional) gold sink into the game which should benefit the economy. When using a Monolith travel funds would be removed from TE first followed by your regular Essence.

In this patch a new device called the Taproot has been added to the Academy. This is activated in much the same way as a Monolith, but as this experiment is not connected to the Ember Monolith networks that flow throughout the world no actual teleportation takes place. The sapped Essence still channels through the Taproot as it does in a Monolith. The difference here is that when it reaches the bottom, it finds no viable pathway and instead leaks out and quickly hardens into rosin that can be reabsorbed into your Ember Stone for later use.

Each Ember Stone in the game can now hold Ember Essence up to its max capacity plus its max capacity in Travel Essence. To purchase TE you must speak with Galinomen in the Academy which will open the conversion UI. Here you can use the slider to determine how much TE you would like to purchase, hit convert, and you are good to go!

The best part about this process is that every 1 Essence converted turns into 2 Travel Essence. This process is a great way to double the value of your hard earned essence when it comes to travel. When using a Monolith to travel TE is used before regular Essence.

We do recognize that this conversion process is not exactly cheap; one should consider it a luxury provided by the Academy. And as a friendly reminder: players are not forced to engage with this system. It is simply offered as a way to make your Essence more potent for travel purposes at the cost of some in game coin. If you decide to never purchase TE from the Academy then travel via Monoliths will work exactly as it has for you in the past.

'''Next Month'''

The current short-list of deliveries you can expect for next month:

*Engine upgrade to Unity 2022 ... finally?!
*More humanoid performance improvements (looking at you Exile Freehold)
*Dryfoot Fortress (name pending)
*NPC AI improvements.
*New shirts
*New NPCs

(this list is not the definitive list of what will release next month, just a list of things that are currently on deck or in-progress)

'''New Stuff'''

Player vs. Player Proving Grounds

A new arena has been constructed in Newhaven Valley adjacent to the Circle camp. Within you can fight 1-on-1, free for all, or party vs. party. While in the arena you will automatically be flagged for PvP and the flag will be removed once you leave. A new icon will appear under your nameplate when this flag is active. There are however, as always, a few caveats and important things to consider:

*Other players can only be targeted if you have matching PvP flags. This means that you cannot target someone flagged for PvP while you are not flagged for PvP.
*Players will be selectable as an offensive target only if you are both flagged for PvP and they are NOT a member of your group. Group members are selectable as defensive targets (as usual).
*Lull, Threat, and Fear do nothing.
*Combat logs will still report absorption, but no armor damage is actually done (this includes armor dots).
*No armor damage is applied when giving up.
*Upon releasing your backpack will be placed outside of the Proving Grounds.
*When flagged for PvP you gain innate resists to CC-type effects (movement slows, daze, stun, etc) and debuffs from other players. The values are shown on the PvP icon tooltip.
*'''This feature is FOR FUN.''' We fully recognize that nothing about this is balanced and that is ok with us. We have no intentions on rebalancing the game around PvP. We very well may expand upon this feature in the future with additional areas (with obstacles, etc, think EQ's arena zone) - but it is lower on the priority list.

This month's patch includes five new solo loops, the ability to inspect other players, and custom LFG/LFM notes. That is in addition to a number of QoL improvements, bug fixes, and task updates. We had intended to launch our new mail system this month but it needs an extra few weeks for polish and QA (see more info below).

*Tech
**Added Drag Bag keybind (unbound by default)
**Improved bag dragging mechanic by allowing your bag command to drag nearby group member bags if you have consent. This also applies to the keybind mentioned above. If your bag is within range it will have drag priority, otherwise it will drag the closest group member bag.
**First person camera height should now more closely correspond to the hight of your character.

**Improved the return behavior of mobs returning to their spawn point.
*Environment / Art
**Fixed stuck spots in: Newhaven Valley, Newhaven City, Ember Veins, Forgotten Depths, Dryfoot, Highland Hills, Grizzled Peaks, Grimstone Canyon, and Aquifer.
**Fixed a floating tree in Redshore.
**Fixed some floating props and LODs in and around Newhaven City
**Fixed Smuggler Vik's weapon animations.
**Disabled a number of props inside of the Dryfoot Fortress for performance improvements in Dryfoot.
**Disabled shadows on some Alchemy VFX that were not rendering correctly.
**Closed up an erroneously opened cabin in Meadowlands.
**Reduced the camera shake impulse force for Drolscs.
**Added Leather Faulds visuals
**Improved blending of shadowy area in Watcher's Folly.
**Added fog around Eastern Farm in Northreach.
*UI:
**Fixed incorrect Bulletin Board references on the Northreach map (was showing the name of the Newhaven Valley BB)
**Fixed resizing issue with LFG/LFM window
**Fixed some issues with windows closing and causing movement to stop.
**Fixed a typo in Grimstone Pauldron.
**Fixed a typo in some mob emotes.
**Fixed a typo in Patrolling Northreach.
**Fixed a typo in the Delvin conversation.
**Fixed a typo on Popular Smoked Meats (Poplar)
**Fixed overhead combat text not showing for instant AoE ability hits.
**Renamed purchased Spring Water to Rain Water as to avoid confusion with Barrel of Spring water.
**Moved tutorial tab in the log UI to be the last visible tab.
**Added None/Greed/Pass auto loot options to the Gameplay Options menu for:
***Known Recipes
***Non-Usable Recipes (not for your professions)
***Non-Usable Reagents (not for your spec or base role)
***Basic Items (excludes recipes and reagents)
**Added a custom notes option for LFG/LFM entries in the social UI. This feature is not available for trial players.
**Added an icon to the lower left of items in need of repair. This icon will show when an armor piece goes below 80% durability and has reduced effectiveness. For weapons this icon will show when the weapon drops below 20% durability and has reduced damage output.
**Added text to item tooltips when the repair icon is shown indicating such.
**Added /e as a valid alias for /emote.
**Added /smile, /bye, and /wink to default emotes.
**Updated context menu title for XP bar bubble to say "Track Experience For"
**Updated resist tooltips to indicate that they grant a chance to fully resist.
**Defensive NPC UI nameplates will now show a thin health bar instead of a thick one.
*Design:
**Fixed mob requirements for Freeing Meadowlands
**Increased applicator radius on flatworms to make them easier to catch.
**Reduced execution time of Wild Strikes at lvl 30 from 1s to 0s to be consistent with higher level versions
**Simplified flatworm buffs to avoid cases where the worm is "consumed" but no buff is applied.
**Reduced 1^ mobs innate avoidance by 50%.
**Reduced 2^ mobs innate avoidance by 30%.
**Reduced Damage on Ashen Mangrove conal attack
**Adjusted Noxious Bog poison fog areas to be more consistent with visuals.
**Fixed spawn distribution for Blightroot Grove and outside of Blightroot Grove (should be a more even mix of Mangroves and Mandrakes).
**Generic Cloth can be used for any Ground Torch Recipes
**Doom Spiders are no longer ranged
**The Doom effect from Doom Spiders now has a lesser version for 1^/2^ mobs with reduced duration.
**Changed spawns around farms in Northreach to be consistent to match the quests involving them.
**Increased respawn rate for areas of 1^ Marauders in Dryfoot Stronghold
**Increased armor damage ability effectiveness.
**Added "Stalker" type mobs to all outdoor zones except for Newhaven Valley
*Tasks
**We've updated the bounty tasks for hunting uncommon creatures. These tasks will have an additional objective to hunt for creatures that potentially could respawn as the uncommon type. For example a task that previously asked you to kill 5 Sap Spiders. At times there may be no Sap Spiders spawned, leading to some confusion. So the task has been updated to kill 3 Sap Spiders and additionally kill 12 of any spider. The goal with this is to ensure there is this affirmation of killing place holders for the uncommon types as also being intended as part of the task.
**Descriptions improved for various tasks with harder to find mobs (i.e. Scorpions and Raccoons in Grimstone Canyon)
**Reduced kill count for Meadowlands Rat Ruins task. Objective is now also just "Kill Rats".
**Camp added to Meadowlands for the task to /wave all clear on rocks above River. Description updated to match.
**Tasks that ask the player to emote will explicitly use "/" to indicate the slash command should be used for the task.
**Snatchscale Stalker kill count reduced
**Removed Meadowlands Spider Plateau task
**Redmanes included with Wolves for Highland Hills North Wolves Task
**Highland Hills North tasks for Blightroot/Deeproot mobs now count both Mandrakes and Mangroves

'''New Stuff'''

New Ember Vein Solo Loops

Added 5 new Ember Vein solo loops. Each include new sections, new named, and some with updates to existing uncommon drops. These new solo loops can be found in:

*Meadowlands:
**Spinner's Recluse
**Derelict Sanctuary
*Dyrfoot: Basilisk Run
*Redshore Ridge: Cragscale Caverns
*Grimstone Canyon: Arkhos' Lair

Inspections

This patch adds the ability to inspect other player's equipment if they are nearby. This can be done via the context menu of the player or the chat command "/inspect <player name>". When being inspected you will receive a simple chat notification that someone else is inspecting you (unless you have blocked said player). If you do not want others to inspect your gear you can disallow inspections by unchecking a new box in your Equipment UI next to the title dropdown (this setting is saved on a per-character basis):

Once the inspection window is opened it does not change. In other words, the items in the inspection window are more of a snapshot. This allows you to continue inspecting a player long after they have left the area or have logged off (as long as you keep the inspection window open). In order to "refresh" an inspection you simply re-inspect and the window contents will refresh.

A few quick caveats:

*You can only inspect someone once every 1s.
*Inspection window does not include the player's light source, tools, or Ember Stone.
*The cosmetic slot appears in the center of the window where the Ember Stone typically resides.

'''Next Month (April 2024)'''

Mail?

We fully intended to launch the newly developed post system in this patch. However, there are a few critical polish tasks we feel are needed before we release it into the wild. Given that we are going to allow players to send items & money to one another we wanted to make sure that these systems were water tight to prevent potential any loss of goods. The system is 95% of the way there and has just a few tweaks to go before it is ready. Expect to see this feature on QA very soon where we will be asking you to break it.

Engine Upgrade?

Through most of this month we have been testing Unity 2022 on QA. Every time we are about to make the switch final some random issue crops up at the last minute making us reverse course. This time around there was an issue with how Unity 2022 handles refresh rates compared to previous versions which needed to be addressed. Given how late in the month this issue was discovered we decided to push this launch back so the fix can have more time on QA.

[[Game Updates|Back to Game Updates]]

This month's patch includes the tech required for our free trial, a new solo loop, and item categorization! Additional quality of life improvements include a lock toggle on self/offensive/defensive nameplates (via context menu), a lock button on chat windows, and numerous improvements to NPC positioning. If you have friends who are on the fence about trying our game March 1st is the perfect time for them to try it out with no monetary commitment. Thank you all for your continued support!

*Tech
**Fixed an issue preventing some lights and particle systems from turning off during the day.
**Continued improvements and toggles to help with the server memory leak cleanup.
*NPC Tech
**Bats, Gaunts, Ravens, Drolscs, Redmanes, Terrodiles, Nocturnes, Stonecoats, Blights, Mandrakes, Mires, and Rats can now enter the water. Some have swim animations while other do not (more improvements to come). This should reduce the likelihood of a player encountering "Undone's Wrath" near water.
**Made substantial improvements to NPC movement while in combat. Their position and move back positions should be far more accurate, which in turn should reduce the ice skating effect along with further reducing any remaining cha-cha-cha.
**Adjusted the pivot point for large creatures such as the Bear, Raven, Drolsc, and Ridgeback so that their visuals look more natural while roating.
**Tweaked turn animations for a number of creatures to look more natural while roating.
**Added "alternate target points" for large bears to make them easier to fight from behind or the sides.
**Refactored how we scale NPC sizes to be more reliable and consistent.
**Improved how we assign nameplate positions for scaled NPCs.
**Offensive target reticles now resize based on your target size.
*Environment / Art
**Knuckles now use dagger attack animations instead of sword.
**Adjusted a number of prop LODs.
**Fixed some prop issues in Dryfoot, Grizzled Peaks, and Newhaven City.
**Fixed a number of stuck spots in Dryfoot, Grimstone Canyon, Ember Veins, Forgotten Depths, Grizzled Peaks, Redshore Ridge, and Newhaven Valley.
**Fixed a nav issue in Undercroft causing some resources to spawn out of reach.
**Fixed Gaunt howl animation event not firing off.
**Added a new death animation to the large bear.
**Removed moss from Dryfoot rocks.
**Closed off some underutilized areas of Dryfoot to allow us to increase creature density in other areas and move the zone towards feeling less empty. Most of the spawns **from these regions have been relocated to another part of the zone.
**Adjusted Smoldering Ash animation to better match execution time.
**Adjusted crafted gold armor color.
**Updated visuals for imbued crossbows.
**Updated visuals for various rare crossbows.
*UI:
**Added 4 pixel padding between slots in bags/banks/etc.
**Subscriber slots are now indicated by a purple background highlight rather than changing the frame color.
**Bulletin Boards now have their name shown on their map tooltip.
**Added a context menu option to lock or unlock self, offensive, and defensive nameplates.
**Added a lock button to chat windows.
**Added new window resize cursors that more clearly indicate a window is locked and cannot be resized.
**Moved the time icon from chat windows to the upper right corner.
**Next sunrise/sunset times now also display the time remaining before these events.
**Loot roll active highlight (blue background that indicates "current" roll) is now a gradient covering the need/greed/pass buttons.
**Augment confirmation window now uses the item confirmation dialog (similar to destroy).
**Added a search filter to merchant windows.
**Fixed a bug preventing the bulletin board tutorial from showing up in the tutorial log.
**Fixed a bug preventing the required specialization from showing on a reagent tooltip when you had no specialization.
**Added more exception protections in the crafting UI
**Added a red overlay to abilities when they cannot be used because you are out of range and/or not facing the target.
**Improved primary/secondary weapon slot display on the inventory UI. The background panels now turn red when an incompatible weapon configuration is equipped.
**Border of applied effects are now colored blue/red to more clearly indicate buffs/debuffs.
**Warlord ability Open Wound proc effect icon now matches the skill icon.
**Added a new /help global channel which is intended for those in need of help (new players, trial players, or anyone else).
**Reduced /world, /trade, and /help slow mode to 10 seconds.
**Disabled slow mode from the /subscriber channel.
*Design:
**Reduced the adventuring experience required for levels 1-5.
**Increased wilds spawn density in Dryfoot.
**Moved Ember Veins Basilisk Run entrance in Dryfoot.
**Moved some Ember Drift and Ruptures as to not spawn so close to one another in Meadowlands.
**Moved Ember Veins Shrieking Barrows entrances to lower level areas so they are more accessible to players of that level in Grimstone Canyon.
**Corrected required level on Necklace of the High Ranger to match other rewards from the same quest.
**Corrected name on Hobfly mask.
**Corrected name on Dissolved Tin Helm (was previously a rare drop Polished Tin Helm).
**Added basic cloth hood recipes to Newhaven Vendors.
**Increased Vale Armor drop rate.
**Increased Exile Looter rare drop rates.
**Increased Daggers/Knuckles range to 3m.
**Reduced power of Ashen Rat self-heal.
**Reduced level of Nocturnes outside of Forgotten Depths.
**Updated Frog/Toad Toxic Shot ability to scale with mob level.
**Sentinel's Alchemy II Resuscitate updated to heal wounds before health.
*Tasks
**Reduced kill counts for Dryfoot & Redshore "Wilds" tasks.
**Reduced kill counts for Ashen tasks.
**Reduced kill counts for Grizzled Peaks "Bird" tasks.
**Reduced kill counts for Meadowlands southern river Ridgeback tasks.
**Reduced kill count and added location information to Grimstone Canyon Raccoon task.
**Additional location information added to various tasks.
**Rigid Mires added to Redshore Ember Drift spawns and Flooded Ruins.
**Grizzled Peaks Raven kill objective changed to generic "Bird" to include Thrush.
**Increased odds of Exile Looters and Scavengers to spawn in Redshore.
**Increased presence of Exile Hunters, Woodsmen, and Patrols in Redshore.
**Increased presence of Hungry Wolves in Redshore.
**Increased presence of Snatchscale Stalkers in Redshore.
**Removed Kill Wolves task from Northreach due to the difficulty of completing during the day.
**Redshore task for killing Emberflies now include any Emberfly type.
**Tasks for killing Ember Drift creatures should now mention Ember Drifts or Ember Veins.
**Insects and arachnids now count as animals.
**Removed Redshore task that had identical objectives.
**Meadowlands' Southern Quillback tasks have been split into two different tasks:
***Southern Quillbacks found in the wilds south of the river.
***Quillbacks found in the forest plateau region.
**Ants spawned from ant hills now have the title "Swarming" to help identify them as not being valid task targets.
**Highland Hills has been split into two separate Bulletin Boards. One for the north (lvl 40+) and one for the south (lvl 20-25). If you had a level 40+ task previously it MUST now be handed in at the North Bulletin Board. If you had a level 20-25 task it MUST now be turned in at the Southern Bulletin Boards. This should address issues with players level 37-39 getting tasks much lower than them.
**Added new "Commission" tasks to Newhaven Valley, Northreach, and Meadowlands. These are non-kill objective tasks that will have you exploring or traveling to specific destinations. Similar tasks will continue to be added in the coming months.

'''New Stuff'''
New Ember Vein Solo Loop 

A new solo loop has been added to the Meadowlands' Noxious Bog Ember Vein. Frog legs anyone?

Itemization Alignment and Categorization: 

One of our major goals this year is to organize and categorize our items in order to better communicate to players how they relate to one-another, have clearer indicators as to when a valuable drop shows up in the loot window and to help prevent accidentally selling rare items.

To fully support this categorization all rare drops and quest rewards in the game have undergone an alignment. Any items substantially outside of this new categorization have been designated as "Legacy" and will continue to have their existing stats. The number of alignment changes are too many to mention in details and the vast majority are extremely minor with no consistent direction and should have the same impact as they did previously.

Items have been categorized into the following categories: Basic -> Advanced -> Superior / Imbued -> Relic -> Mythic -> Legendary. Items that may fall anywhere within the above item power progression are labeled as Legacy; the unique qualities of these items frequently, but not always, indicates greater power. It is important to emphasize that these categories do not necessarily correlate to the rarity of an item, merely their relative power.

Holding ALT while a tooltip is active for one of these items will show a reminder of the item category power progression near the bottom of the tooltip.

New Behavioral Status VFX
We have unified the look for behavior status effects to better communicate when one is applied.

*Confusion is pink question marks
*Enrage is red exclamation marks
*Daze is white asterisk-like marks
*Stun is yellow Zs
*Lull is purple Zs

Free Trial Tech
Starting March 1st we plan to open our free trial. Unlike previous free weekends this trial will be unlimited in time but come with some gameplay adjustments such as:

*Can only access Newhaven Valley, Central Veins 1, and Newhaven City.
*Can speak in the global /help channel.
*Cannot speak in /world or /trade
*Cannot trade with anyone.
*Cannot send friend requests. They can however, receive friend requests.
*Cannot participate in guild functionality. This means they cannot start or join a guild.
*Cannot access the shared bank in Newhaven City
*Titles will be colored tan.
*Limited to 1 character at a time (the same as a non-subscriber)
