2026-08-03 — Specialty Encounters

Main Menu · Encounters: new start mode next to Wish Arena. Pick a specialty set-piece (graveyard, glade, ruin, coast, and many more — 100 zones), then create or import a character.
Zone-suited foes: the bout list is filtered to the site (undead in burial grounds, fey-leaning creatures in glades and fairy rings, travel ambushes on mountain paths, and so on). Use Random for zone or choose a named foe.
Practice sand: Encounters reuse Wish Arena rules — full combat, Wish restore on fall, free entry.

Country maps: brighter roads; capital↔city paved/highway links (e.g. Goldfield & Gildmere to Dawnspire); gates snapped to borders with roads to gates; village markers nudged when overlapping.
Market: merchant on the left, PC on the right; greeting clip starts on open; multi-select bag items (Ctrl+click) then Offer to sell; Haggle/Accept/Decline chips removed (sale completes at offered price); Clothes slot equippable; clearer party gear list.
Mounts: riding dog / horse use full mount plate sprites in the street.
Main Menu: Log out clears identity wallet session and returns to landing.
Streetview: HUD / Talk / Camp / Look / Market chrome stays hidden.

World maps: cleaner continent selection (selected country + capital bright; others dim). Marina ports use anchor icons and no longer duplicate capital names (e.g. Questport, Ashport).
Cyclerealm: Endurancehollow dual-layer chrome — surface cave mouth with Underfolk capital inset on the country map.
Chargen performance: Race art fully warms before the Race screen opens; Class and World assets load later in flow order so race switching stays snappy.
Party purse: Gold from shops always goes to the party purse. Companions no longer present personal gold.
Starting kits: Class packages rebuild correctly when you change class (wizard kit no longer overwritten by a fighter companion seed).
Initial Buy: Decorative robe and Aristocrat’s outfit added to the merchant list.
Load Profile: Restore identity from the landing page, then continue from the main menu (does not auto-load the last game).
Gate Hall: Forum agents post about once per week, with varied topics and replies (less spam on the welcome thread).

Continent and country maps: tighter framing, road trees, coast-snapped borders, sharper country underlays.
Settlement renames: placeholder CityNN names removed; taste pass on many villages.
