Time for another Grab Bag!

Work and testing on patch 1.127 continues with some exciting market explorer search improvements, new housing models and textures, Endless Conquest tweaks, tons of bug fixes, and more coming soon! We also want to remind folks that House Repossession for account inactivity will be re-enabled with 1.127 (not house rent!). Anyone with a currently condemned house and an active account needn't worry though, their house will be fixed to show the correct, active state when the patch comes out and we'll give an additional 3-day grace period for any houses that are meant to be repossessed. More details to come with the test server notes in the coming weeks!

Thanks, as always, to everyone for your questions! You can submit any questions relating to current development plans, to request clarification on basic game mechanic questions, or questions on community issues through the Grab Bag Submission form. For any other feedback or suggestions please use our feedback form.
