1.4.3 Client Release

Merry Christmas!  We have an assortment of bug fixes as well as an updated Christmas mode for you this time.

• Renamed "Report a Player" to "Request an Admin" and once again worked to improve its reliability.
  
• Christmas mode has been refreshed for this year.
  
• Friendly fire on your allies' horses is handled.
  
• All errors involving activation codes not showing up or "incorrect level" info should be fixed now.
  
• Added LODs to some of the items Nords use to improve performance (specifically Queen's Guard).
  
• Map updates...
  • Coastal Raid
    
  • Fortress Outskirts
    
  • Keancuop Forest (special Christmas map)
    
  • Nordic Village
    
  • Swadian Bay
    
  • Swadian Great Hall (now with Christmas decorations)
    
  • Swadian Village
    
  • Yalen Retreat
    

The Christmas event this year is a set of always-up servers designed to be fun rather than difficult.
The servers and 2.5x xp will run through New Year's Day.

- Kip and the NI Team

Quick Note: If you get an invalid string message and are kicked, you are still running an older version. I had to make a change to the way messages are sent which unfortunately breaks the message for outdated clients this time around.

I was wondering yesterday what X-mas suprises would NI Team bring in this year. You're right on time as always, thanks NI Team

Did cav get Christmas update?

[Kip]

Not much has changed in Cavalry recently. Taking care of some bugs which affect all modes first.

Quick note: Just updated all the servers with some fixes for Shrine and Resurrection Tome usage messages displaying (or not displaying) unexpectedly. All the servers except for the EU Christmas and Cavalry servers have been restarted for this fix to take effect. This hopefully also takes care of the random "you joined the wrong difficulty" messages.

Update: All the servers have this update now.
