This isn't a complain but I get an error when I use Texmod for GW. When I start the game without Texmod it works ok again. I also think this update is broken.
IlikeGW
Well scenery is in... I guess NPC's will get the phased in treatment as usual...
Celestial_Kitsune
I used -image to get the update. It was unusual this time because it had several files for downloading instead of one. Each decompressing had around 300 files. It gives me Error 050 when I choose a character and click Play button.
EDIT: After x attempts, I was able to log in.

Gio
I did the same thing Celestial_Kitsune did and I still get an error. ^...^ 
Jaythen Tyradel
It is working for me now. Lion's is decorated. I guess the others are as well. Wonder what other changes have been made. >_>
