  • Developer's Note: This was implemented on an earlier maintenance and not recorded on the respective Patch Notes. This change was done in order to reduce spot holding. Vending shops on the Market remain with the old timer.

• Modified the behavior of @nodrop. You can now set single permissions for different item classes on the Login Settings NPC.

• Enabled @voteleader for instances.
