New client version: 2.1.15

Hello Players,

It has been some time since the last release of the client was published. During this time a lot of things have changed in the client and now it's time for a new version.

Among the highlights of this new version is a fully new designed movement system. While the controls of the movement remain mostly the same, the mouse movement especially has been improved a lot. The client is now using its path-finding capabilities to determine a good path to follow the mouse. Not only the mouse movement got improved though. The controls in general got a lot of attention. Movement with the keyboard and even the targeting of enemies with the mouse got improved.

Player characters, monsters and NPCs are always displayed now, even when not in direct line of sight.

There were also a lot of bug fixes, especially for bugs that came up during the last weeks. The traders are now working again and the "You hear..." bug is resolved once and for all.

Furthermore there are some changes in the GUI. Skill progress is now displayed in the character window. In addition, the login screen got some attention and the displays for health, mana and food are now slightly larger.

Have fun playing.
