  * Death animations in champ spawn regions will show 40% less of the time to help reduce lag issues
  * Minimum time for Auto Looter's Auto Mode will be 4 seconds instead of 1 to help reduce lag issues
  * Command logging has been disabled - we have many other systems in place for tracking in-game happenings, and it was causing huge lag with I/O file writing (imagine, every single time you grab something)
  * Wildfire fire animations will show 50% less in champion spawn regions to help reduce lag issues
  * A lot of the groundwork is laid out for our upcoming Desolation and PvM Game systems - sooooooon!
  * Welcome To Beyond Sosaria starting book text updated to no longer say a care package is in the bank - these were moved to the backpack a long while back, it was an oversight leaving the book the way it is
  * Updated server core to .net 6.0, recompiled core to target x64 architecture since we've been on a 32bit debug since day one

===== 05/17/2022 =====

Checking in this time, since I've been a bit quiet in the background.  We're road mapping some awesome PvM games that we feel are really going to take Beyond Sosaria into that top tier department as far as private shards go.  We're planning on having most, if not all of the games on the following list:

  * Adventure
  * Assassination
  * Bandits
  * Cats And Dogs
  * Dangerous Prospecting
  * Desolation
  * Drunk Needs A Lift
  * Dungeons
  * Endangered Species
  * Find That Son Of A Bitch
  * Fisherman's Only Glory
  * Hells Kitchen
  * Insane Scalers
  * Instant Spawn From Hell
  * Kingdom Invasion
  * Lost And Found
  * Name The Musician
  * Only Champions
  * Only Demigods
  * Public Disturbance
  * Rescue
  * Quest
  * The Crafters Union
  * Kill X Amounts
  * Tamer Trials
  * Treasure Hunter Trials
  * Trivia
  * Why
  * Zombie Invasion
  * Zoo Breakout

I'll keep everyone updated as games are added/removed from this list but I'm already pretty far into development on the new events framework.  I'm hoping to bring it in with Desolation at the same time.  Getting close!
