In short

Release 140 is now live, focusing heavily on quality of life improvements across Britannia. The most substantial changes center around player housing, with numerous fixes and optimizations for Row Houses, Pirate Galleon Town Homes, and the Shogun Palace City Home. These include texture adjustments for better performance and visual clarity, corrected transparency issues, NPC pathing within homes, and collision detection to prevent players from getting stuck.

Beyond housing, a significant effort has been made to address stuck spots throughout many zones – Blackblade Foothills, Castle Atos, the Midras Ruins are just some of the areas receiving attention. Several world-building elements like textures and sound effects have also been corrected across multiple scenes. Players will find increased opportunities to acquire Vikland Crystals in the Vikland region as well.

Finally, a few smaller additions include new transition hallway pieces for dungeons allowing more seamless builds, adjustments to store pack naming conventions, and an upgrade of Arx Draconis Wetlands to Crossroads Village status. The Crown Store has returned to its standard sale percentage following recent promotions.
