October 10 2009- Build Notes
Patch 1.0.1.1942

Note: Character data has been reset for this patch.

UI and Game Features:

    * Banks have been added, you may find a friendly banker NPC to use one. The top half of the bank is your character's "shelf," it starts with two bank tabs, but you can purchase up to 6. The bottom half is a shared bank shelf, which is common between all characters on an account of the same faction.
    * Guilds have been added. To create one, find a guild registrar NPC to get a guild charter and get 5 friends to sign it. Once it is signed, turn it back in to the registrar to create your guild. Press 'G' to show your guild UI.
    * Guild banks are accessible via a tab on the bank UI. You start with 1 guild bank tab and can purchase up to 6. The guild master (or anyone given permission) can change the guild crest image by clicking the Change button on the upper left of the guild information page.
    * A queue has been added to the Study's window. Each character can queue up to 10 studies. Since only 1 character per account can be studying at a time, the study window will show you which character is currently studying and what. If the current character completes all their studies (either while you are online or offline), it will continue with another character, as long as they have studies queued.
    * The Auction House has been added. Find an Auctioneer NPC to use it.
    * Multi-target portals have been added. When you step onto a portal you will be given an option of available destinations. Many portals, however, require that you travel to them by normal means and unlock them before they become an available destination.
    * Bind stones have been added to towns. Click on a large bindstone to bind yourself to that place, and your Recall action will now return you there.
    * Tooltips for items you can equip will now also show you a tooltip of the item you currently have equipped in that slot for easy comparison.
    * Armor & weapons that you can't equip now show as red in your inventory.
    * New loading screens with tips were implemented

    * When a study is completed, it will now give its benefits as advertised.
    * Over 100 new studies added.
    * Spell effects can now be stacked and refreshed.
    * Changing targets whit Tab has been made more intelligent. It takes the direction you are facing in to account and will cycle through more than two mobs.
