TEST Release Notes - June 10 2008

[Ironhawk]

• Privateering has been added:

• Join either the French or Spanish factions as a mercenary and engage rival mercenaries in epic naval battles
• Launch your ship from the new islands of Isla De La Avaricia (Spanish) or Ile D'Etable De Porc (French), and you'll automatically be put into Privateering mode
• Please note: because it is a large, more complex feature, Privateering will stay on the Test Server for at least a few weeks, at which point it will move over to the live game.Thanks for your patience!
• Some new Privateering related loading screen hints have been added
• NPCs with glowing question marks above their heads are "helper NPCs" and will give advice in the same manner as quest dialog. You can find a couple of these NPCs on the privateering islands
• Improved some quest dialog
• The quest journal should now scroll when using your mouse's wheel
• Fixed the radar. Townsfolk are green, players are blue, and enemies are red.
• Updated the dx9 texture debugging
• A fix for the ship repair panel not updating after repairing your ship
• Fixed a bug that allowed the French/Spanish NPCs to respawn on their ship if it was taking too long to defeat all NPCs
• Fixed a bug with the voodoo doll that would divide healing power among all attuned targets(including enemy NPCs) instead of only dividing it among attuned targets that are players
