Vanguard Build 1871 Patch Notes 08/16/2007 –
GAME UPDATE 2
Group invites from players on your ignore list will now be automatically rejected. You will not see the group invite dialog for them.
Crouch is now mapped by default to shift-X (for new users or people that have deleted their "user.ini" file in their bin directory), but existing users will need to map it manually by going into the settings window "Controls" tab, finding "Crouch" in the list and then clicking the button next to it in order to set the key bind. Crouch is useful for getting large races, such as the Lesser Giants, through smaller races' doorways.
Player to player trades now check to make sure the amount of money being traded won't exceed the coin limit of the player receiving the money. If the amount being given does exceed the coin limit, both parties in the trade will receive an error stating that the coin limit would be exceeded and the players will be able to edit the amount of money being offered and try again.
Level appropriate dungeons are now shown on the map, and display the level range after the name of the dungeon.
Fixed quest tracker window so you can get tooltips by mousing over the quest names in the tracker. And the quest tracker is adjustable in layout mode again.
