    The purpose of this thread is to provide players with the knowledge of when changes to the map are rolled and what those changes are. Future updates to the thread will be appended to the list below. Note that some changes may be only hinted at or omitted entirely as some changes are intended to be secret or hidden.

    Map changes may not take effect until the servers reboot (friendly reminder you can check server uptimes with '/mz uptime'), but changes listed here have been staged for release on all rebooted servers.

    It's Frostine Valley Acres that has been buffed, not Frostbain. It had only 1 tool chest so we've added more chests there and might add more in the future.

    I removed the giant spawn due to it being to easy to farm the giant ( one of the bosses) the location was bad for this spawn. You could hide in the building, run the the woods and hide behind the tree and fight it with no fear of being kicked, and fight with the water behind you with no fall damage with the kick or jump.

    I will be working with halo to build a better location that will fit the boss and allow better PvP in the West.

    Alright, well I'd suggest readding the Giant's spawn to Forest, and adding potion chests to either The shire or Giants farm that don't require a button. I've made a map (map) highlighting all the potion chests that aren't (For the most part) in southern locations. When you look at it you can see there's a big portion on the western side of the map that has no potion chests that don't require a button. A couple pot_uncommons would definitely help out PvP in the area if you're not to kill PvP in the west.

    They didn't say this publicly for some reason, but they are adding the giant spawn in the west somewhere it wont be easily exploited (due to water and trees). They are also going to buff legendaries soon I'm pretty sure so hopefully zombie bow will be maybe worth doing Devil's Respite ever.
