    Mouse Wheel Zoom

    Stop looking over my shoulder! LOL!!! I just fixed this! R147 I fixed the tool tips appearing even when the game window wasn't in focus, and for this coming release I fixed the scroll zoom when the mouse isn't over the game window. Really funny how timing works like that!

    This Chimney is baked into the mesh for the player house. There are other issues with the building, so I will add it to the schedule to be revamped.

    Question About the Game...

    Yes! You can play offline with companions like the Ultimas of old, or play through the quest lines online with other players.

    What happened to the Store?

    Long story :p You buy the Crowns on the website to spend in game. They are delivered to you via the rewards chest icon (next to the Crown icon). We always hoping to get some new items on the website, Scottie is working on some of that now. Welcome back!
