Beta patch 035:
The biggest change that this update has coming are the changes to the way Crates will store Player Items.
Some praise it. Some hate it.
This was not a decision made out of desire to change it, but necessity. As players progressed in the game, the loads being transported consisted of hundreds of items which led to steep performance drops and inconsistent behavior.
Overall I plan to add some great features and maximize this change to the benefit of the player and I remain excited for your thoughts once finished.
The current starts of the system are on Beta currently for those that wish to test it now!
(OUT OF TOWN) - I will be out until Dec. 12th! But will quickly get the system finished up and pushed to regular upon returning.

Adding Crate packing & inventory system
Items player recently handled will not be deleted on Dawn Restocks
