INTRODUCTION
- Our summer intern, Aubrey Gress, worked extremely hard to fix many outstanding bugs, particularly ones involving Realm Rank 5 abilities, Necromancers, and combat, in general. We hope that you enjoy his work. Aubrey finished his internship with us on Friday, so we give him our thanks and wish him well!
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- NPCs have been added to the border keeps in the Frontiers that will buff players with concentration buffs. These NPCs are located next to the hasteners and will sell buffs to players for gold or bounty points.

- Shadowstrike will now always perform a style after being used.
- Pulsing realm abilities such as Speed of Sound will no longer be interrupted by other forms of pulsing abilities.
