1.0.7 the good the bad the ugly

[DemonMonger]

1.0.7 patch will bring in a new era of regnum.
If you desire you can still use your old movement controls.
However, the straffing system will greatly stimuilate new combat tactics.
The new crafting system will generate a new breed of trade for us.
I am excited to know that by crafting I can change my appearance.
Perhaps trade booths will be created to allow us to show all who pass by what we have to offer?
We can now pan 360 degrees in less than a second allowing us to attack/defend/escape with ease.
Changes are listed below....
