- Bound items can no longer be sold at the broker.
- Bound items can no longer be mailed.

- Fixed holes in the Gaul'Kor Dungeon walls.
- Exiting a dungeon should now always restore lighting properly.
- The colored forest returns!

Comments
If this patch goes as well as the last one then it'll probably secure my sub for at least another month or two. I keep reading on here from people claiming that every patch that is released there are many bugs, etc, etc. The last patch fixed a lot of issues and I really don't know if any bugs were introduced. This patch I hope the same happens 'cause these are some great changes. Better than the expansions (though Awakening was essentially needed for the patches to even occur which is one of the reasons I don't think they should have ever named Awakening as some expansion).
Agreed. Awakening wasn't as solid as it should have been, but the patching they have done since then has really improved the game significantly. As a game, it provides a type of gameplay that has unfortunately become very uncommon in the MMO space, which is why I continue to play it.

wanna know the funny part?
here you guys are talking about how many less bugs this game has, so i boot up the ol' MO launcher so i can see for myself these new capes and all the cool new stuff.....
"Patching error! Old file not found. a file of the same name was found. no update done since file content do not match"
.....LMAO!!!
i didn't even get into the game and already found a launcher braking bug. this game is just so effed up.
Interesting 'cause I never gave an amount of bugs fixed, I was simply saying they are bug fixing. You've never had errors with games when it comes to patching? I usually just find a way to fix it myself or go to the forum and see if it's a common problem or whatnot. Just to be clear (as I always have to) I'm not saying that this is acceptable, but I don't really see it is a bug that you can label that the game "is just so effed up." Give it a reinstall and then try it.
actually i haven't had problems with the patching since 4 months after release, and yes i did go on the forums and look for answers.....not much help ther as usual.
re-install you say? i'm not spending 20 hours to re-download this piece of crap game just because devs can't make a patch that actually patches instead of braking my launcher. and yes theid did brake my lancher because last time i used it, before their new patch, it was working perfectly.
so now they force a patch that brakes my launcher and i'm supposed to spend 20 hours re-installing?....i dont think so. "is just so effed up" was a very mild comment trust me, i can get a lot more colorful when it comes to MO.
Oh I'm not doubting that you can be much more colorful when talking about MO. You're not willing to give it a reinstall and claim that it takes 20 hours when it does not. Interesting, but whatever. It's true the patcher can use some work, it's pretty amateurish.
Just FYI, this patch also went live today. They did make some changes to the original patch notes:
