[h2]Other Changes [/h2]
Change: Higher-priority actions will now properly stop and interrupt any lower-priority action they override, instead of both actions occurring simultaneously.

Shortly after this update, failed PayPal payments will be reimbursed. Purchasing through PayPal currently works as usual and should have no delay.

[h2]Update:
[/h2]
During today's update and backup, we noticed that Independence had some noticeable issues with transferring data. To avoid causing further problems, we kept all servers down while we collected the backup off Independence. After investigating the server, we have decided to use this opportunity to migrate Independence to our new hosts on Cloudnet. We expect this to go as smoothly as the other server migrations have and that downtime for Independence will be minimum. The other servers will be coming back up shortly, but travel to Independence will not be possible.

Patch Notes: 21 August 2020

Change: Sleep bonus will now automatically disable after 5 minutes of inactivity instead.
- Note: Auto-disabling sleep bonus still does not trigger the cooldown.
Change: Made preparations for Cadence launch today (19:00 CEST).
- Note: The tutorial world portal will require a client pack update later in the day to show the new server - if you log in before that, you will need to restart and update it to portal through.
Fix: Tower guards will now properly disappear when their tower is destroyed.
Fix: You can no longer light a forge through keybinds without using the correct tool for that
Fix: Addressed one of the major server lag causes on Defiance.

Patch Notes 18 August 2020

Change: Creatures will now respawn in the areas where there's few of them, instead of randomly around the map. This will eventually make the creature density around the servers to even out.
Bugfix: Fixed issues causing client to silently and randomly disconnect from the server.
Bugfix: Creatures should no longer migrate north.
Bugfix: Fixed an exploit enabling to drop RGB values of dyes with very small amounts of lower RGB dye.
