   Today's patchnotes:

SPELL PAGE MAKEOVER
To tie up with the recent release of the first 2 new T2 Magic Buildings, the "Cast Spell" page has had a small makeover and should now be clearer to read.

RESOURCE SUMMARY PAGE
This now includes upkeep costs of the new buildings in the listing for each type.  Given that many of these buildings consume multiple resource types, their "Food Consumed" listing has been moved to the bottom of the page so that they don't get listed multiple times.  The Resource Summary should now properly add up to what your hourly figures are.

MARKETPLACE RECOVERY
We're still processing refunds on the great financial crash of earlier this week, please bear with us. It's a long and time-consuming task.

NEW PLAYER PROTECTION & GEOMANCY
Players under New Player Protection rainbows-of-awesomeness can now receive beneficial Geomancy "gift of" and "bounty" spells from kindly players.  Blights continue to be forbidden, as before.

TAX REVENUE DISPLAY
An issue that showed the wrong final upkeep total on the right hand side of the Taxation display has been fixed.

GLOBAL CHAT ABBREVIATED
Due to differing capacities to store and process data in-browser between different player setups, we have truncated the number of historic chat lines that GC will display, which now runs between 200 and 300 posts going forward.

ICE HOLES
Ice Holes are no long "impassable" terrain, and have graduated to NPC status. Sovereignty can be claimed on them and animals will spawn on them from now on.

SERVER UPDATES
We've applied several changes and updates to the way the code works and indexing is performed on the gameserver, and it now runs substantially more smoothly than before.
Regards,

SC
