    This includes all the work from 3.41 that got canned when we found a bad bug, as well as a bunch of extra stuff we snuck in.

    Treasure
    • On failed item transfer from treasure, put items back into cache.
    • Introduce a queue to flush the treasure cache instead of doing it all at once.
    • Don't move items on client/server when resetting a chest store chest as it should be empty anyway.
    • Don't empty treasure store cache when advancing adventure.

    Co-op chat is handy, except it autospams itself by notifying everyone whenever one of the thousands of users enters or leaves.
     
  3. Yeah, this is a huge problem because tons of new players are now refusing to use the coop channel because it's too spammy and they are now starting to flood world chat again. Should be hotfixed.

    Like they said, co-op chat is not very functional. Ummm, thanks for the free game and continued development, btw. I should be getting the expansions in the next week or so. Really, thanks.
