•The issue where players were unable to change their guild permissions has been fixed.

•Bags and the top contributor receives a high quality Upgrade from a large set of Rewards.
•In order to create a super group, you now need to have 5 players in a team, all on the same map as the super group contact, and none of them already in a super group. These team members will become the new super group, with the player who spoke to the super group contact as the leader.
•Canceled auctions will now return the entire stack of items you put up for bids, not one. Three cheers for not losing inventory!
•Being pushed will now take into account whether you're still standing on the ground, or standing in mid-air. Cartoons aren't real, folks.
•You can now use the interaction key (F) to move forward through most contact dialogs.
•Players now need to be even more heroic than before (by defeating more villains and completing more missions) to earn Stars.

•Added the ability to charge for body scale and bone scale changes at the tailor.
