Known Issues

Mature agriculture plants may not appear in the correct visual state when placed back down from Magic Movers
Approaching the glowing doors in Halls of Artifice may leave a white overlay on the screen, changing maps or moving completely through the doorway should resolve this.
Lord of the Manor Keep homes may have broken LoDs which will cause some walls to appear missing when viewed from a distance.
When a client first logs in as a trial visitor then relogs as a full account, many Trial permissions will still be present (inability to trade) until the client is restarted.

When moving NPC Buildings, it’s possible to crash the client by overlapping structures/boundaries during placement.
Indoor lights in the Duke Benefactor City Home will frequently appear as Exterior lights when placed.
Water Lot Island Keeps may experience difficulty placing decorations on open terrain. This is caused by a bug that visually removed trees from this terrain, but did not remove their collision.

When a Journal entry’s title is long and wraps to a new line, it may unexpectedly overlap the entry’s body text.
