    [Need More Info] I Can't Move the Auction House Floor to the Property Manager

    What happens when you try? If you shutdown the game client and try again, does it work then? How many slots do you have open in the Property Manager?

    A long time ago, I started a blog here with the best of intentions… and then reality happened. Development got busy, responsibilities piled up, and that blog quietly faded into the background.

    This is an interesting idea. The chimney pieces are separate from fire places, so they could have smoke added as an always on type of thing, or we can look at setting up a script to associate the fire withe the chimneys, allowing them to be triggered was the fire is lit. Drawback: every...

    XP is NOT being added to pool from pet kills from a distance

    This is design intent. The distance is between the player and mob, not the pet. The player has options to leash the pet at different distances. If the player's intent is to use the pet in battle then the player should also be engaged, therefore the pet should not be set for a far distance.
