Patch notes added today to the official forum:
Version 1.21.37.53 – Release
2010-08-09
Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.
------ ADDITIONS & CHANGES ------
General:
- Overall performance increase (30% on our test systems).
- Player-vendors are now added to the game.
- Destructible spawners are now in Myrland. These can be destroyed to rid the land of their creatures, though some may be daring enough to move back after some time.
Spoiler for A brief explanation:
1. Buy a vendor contract from a house vendor.
2. Target your shop module in your house and press 'R'.
3. Drop the contract in the slot. When you press ”Ok” a vendor will spawn at your location, choose carefully since you cannot move the vendor once it's placed.
4. When the vendor is placed, the owner can access the shop by targeting the shop, or the shelfs in it and Press 'R'.
5. The Owner is now given two choices, either remove the vendor or browse the shop. If you remove the vendor, he will not respawn.
6. Browse Vendor. To put an item up for sale, simply drop it in the ”item for sale” slot. The item that is wanted as payment can be droppen in the ”Item wanted as payment” slot. If no item is droppen in that slot. It will default to SilverCoin. You can also set the quantity of the wanted item in the editbox.
Spoiler for Image:
7. Purchase Items
To purchase an item, target the vendor and press 'R'.
Spoiler for Image:
Simply right click on the item that you would like to buy. You can see the Item wanted as payment in the slot below.
The item used for payment will end up in the house chest.
8. The vendor can be killed by other players. If killed the vendor will respawn after 10 minutes, no items will be lost.
The overall speed of melee swings was taken down a little bit.
- Took down the overall movement-speed a bit.
- Stamina cost for sprinting slightly increased.
- Optimized the loading of the login-gui.
- Added support for mount-equipment. To use these new items simply right-click them while you have a mount and wait a bit. Mount-equipment sometimes needs to be put on in a special order.
(For example: first a saddle, then a decorative plaid). If the equipment doesn't fit your current mount you will get a message telling you so. This equipment can be bought from vendors.
- Added "Combat-moves system". Currently we added just a single new combat move (SpearStance). New moves will be added on a regular basis now that the system is in place.
- Added combatmove: SpearStance, this excellent tactical move can only be executed while you are carrying a spear. It will make you place your spear on the ground leaving you open for attacks but if you anybody runs into the tip of the spear while the skill is being exectued he/she/it will take damage (based on their speed). Mounts will take a even greater amount of damage from this move.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Soooooooo gooooodddd. Good job SV.
Here's one of the new steppehorse armors:
Looks pretty damn good imo.
That design looks fantastic, in my opinion.
I'll be interested in seeing how it looks on the other horse types, and what different types of armor (metallic, cloth) will look like when they add them.
Thanks for posting the pic!

Gotta say that looks better than anything AoC has to offer for their mounts.
another one of a packmule
Very cool. Nice pic!
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
Can it carry things for you?

No talk about Player Vendors? Wasn't that the big ticket item for the patch?
All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)

I gotta say the mount armor looks pretty sweet.
I wish they would hurry up and get the game release ready... already!
What exactly is your definition of release ready?
Never trust a screenshot or a youtube video without a version stamp!
All promised feature mentioned release i guess? We dont have any sort of map yet, just saying...

No sort of map is intended. Player made ones later down the line yes.
Here are some more nice pictures:

Next week we get territory control with siege machines and much more.
I am waiting until they sort out at least the main combat related issues: desync and lack of balance ( spears, spears, spears, spears ). The game will be ready for public when they polish the graphics ( Speed Tree ), at times choppy animations ( it could be just lagging Jankies ) apply the Epic China patch, sort out bugged AI ( I believe thats why they wait for Epic China ) and fill the world with a bit more "stuff".
Desync? They have solved the desync problem. I haven't seen any desync at all since after the big code convert SV did to solve it. I am pretty sure that you confuse desync with lag. Lag is one thing (which has more to do with your IP provider/comp/distance) ...
Lots of improvements regarding lag only since release, and after the last patch this week I could increase from lowest gfx setting (with low shadow) to medium gfx setting (with medium shadow )and still it runs at least as good as before, with my 3.5+ year old comp.
They have balanced up the spears the last two patches ... if that is not enought I am sure they will continue.
This seems like finally a good content patch. Now it needs much much more stuff like this. This kind of patch would represent 1 or 2 percent of what this game needs for me to go back to it.
I would like to see forests looking like real forrests, full of biodiversity, life, plants realistic looking trees with variety to it, lots of different animals.
