    The Paragon 2012 Halloween Pack has finally started playing nice with Rebirth's backend code. We have activated the full pack for your usage and a final pass of testing on PTS.

Fashion Gloves & Boots:

    This gem from Paragon's final days has now been activated on female models in the costume creator. There should be tight and flared models available at the bottom of your glove and boots menus, each with two textures.

Cape Packs 1 & 2 bug fix:

    - BUGFIX: All 45 new cape patterns should now be
      available as intended on all 3 player models.

Emblem Pack 1 revisions:

    Multiple emblems have had slight graphic revisions to change how high up they fall on the character models. Most changes are very subtle, but intended to register center of Male -> Chest Pattern -> Emblem Square

    Star 20 (Rainbow) has been reworked to increase the size of the central baked in rainbow colored star. (Long live Rainbow Brite!)

Glove Diversification Phase 1 updates

    - BUGFIX: Male -> Right Glove -> Plant With Leaves:
      Duplicate entries and 1 broken texture cleaned up.

    - BUGFIX: Female -> Right Glove -> Cloud Glove
      Metallic: Should now call in correct geometry

    - Proliferation: Glove diversification entries have
      been proliferated to jackets, trench coats, shirts,
      and robes replacing existing entries of identical
      gloves. Prior tolerance for clipping has been
      used as a guide in this proliferation.

Enemy Costume Bugfixes:

    - BUGFIX: Vahzilok Cadaver & Abomination boots and gloves
      should once again be properly colored

    - BUGFIX: Carnie Illusionists & Master Illusionists should no
       longer present green disembodied boots

    - BUGFIX: Arcana Staff & Vorpal Sword should no longer
       present green disembodied boots

Character Selection Slots Bugfix:

    -BUGFIX: The character selection page should no longer hide characters on page 5-8.  This was due to the file that saves your char slot placements having duplicate values.

TEST SERVER PATCH NOTES: FEB / 28 / 2021

AH CHANGES
     - Number of base slots for every player character has been increased.  Values have been adjusted so that there is a progression of available slots as you level. (Roughly 5 slots every 5 levels.....ish )

SUPER-GROUP BASE RENT CHANGES
    - Base rent will no longer be calculated on the items in the base.  The exact value that each SG would pay was hard to anticipate and may have hindered some SGs from placing more items that they may have wanted.
    - SG base rent now calculated based on plot size.  These numbers are still up for discussion and may be subject to change.  However rent is currently set to be much less then it was on live.

CHARACTER SLOT PER ACCOUNT INCREASE
    - UI hard coding issues have been adjusted to allow more characters per account to be created.  Due to the nature of the UI slots can only be increased in multiples of 12.
    - Current slots on every account should now be 96.  This is from 12 slots on 8 pages.  This number may be subject to increase at a future date if there is demand for it.


Martial Prowess
