Da roundup, da roundup, what, what, da roundup!

• The ability to see how much experience you gain from things is coming soon^TM
• The ability to see the level of a quest has been pushed to the internal server and is going live soon.  The actual soon this time, not the ^TM soon.
• Mail containing money from the Exchange will some day tell you what item that money came from.
• Its confirmed that there is a quest line that gives a legendary item that requires faction with evil races.
• Lots and lots of stuff about diplomacy, none of which was particularly interesting.

This week's four word summary:

Found this post by Brad McQaid (head guy):

I can't get into specifics, but we are well over 100,000 and growing steadily every day.


Quite respectable for a non-franchise MMO that hasn't really been hyped yet *shrugs*

Memory Leaks Finally Fixed?!
The next patch should fix two major memory leak issues that have been causing many players to crash to desktop somewhat frequently.

Tooltips Finally Fixed?!
There were several very annoying issues with tooltips (such as them not displaying an item’s correct stats) that have been fixed for the next patch.

Farmers Getting Banned?!
The community has been absolutely fantastic at helping us catch gold farmers by reporting them and pointing them out to us. Many bannings have happened already and many more are soon to follow. So please, keep up the good work and thank you!

Valdoun Wearing Pants?!
After a long debate, it was decided for the good of the game that Valdoun should wear pants on a more regular basis.  Hopefully this will prevent the spread of disease-like bugs that have recently been appearing in the Tursh region.  Should you contract such a bug, please ask Valdoun to keep his damn pants on.

Yes, once again it was time for the Weekly Roundup. This week, the important information was:

• No, the high level characters you see in /who all aren't using bots
• Yes, they still care about Fellowships, they are a high priority
• Player cities are going to be really really cool, they promise
• Diplomatic mount upgrade quests are going in soon^TM, meaning Ol' Bessy can go from walking slower than Tier 1 mounts to walking slower than Tier 2 mounts
• The Test server is going up soon^TM
  

And that's it.  So this week's four word summary is:

I was running to Leth Nurae to pick up Moaddib when I ran across this incredible oddity merrily camping an altar.  The only alteration to this image was to select the relevant part - nothing else has been edited, this is exactly as I saw it.



Yes, that's right, a gigantic frog with huge teeth and Stuck!! blinking above its head. 
Maybe one of the Vanguard devs had a nightmare or some acid or something.
And who knows what the Stuck!! is about. 
Yeah.
I'll leave you with a wonderful closeup of this remarkable creature.  I'm sure one of you crazy people will use this as an avatar or something. 

Rraaawwwrrrr *ribbit*
