Patch (2010.10.07.0001)

A new patch was deployed last night. Nothing exciting, mainly just a set of bug fixes. Here are the full patch notes posted be SE:

* Made an adjustment to how experience points are distributed amongst party members. Instead of dividing a total number of experience points by the number of players who participated in the battle, it now distributes the total amount of experience points equally amongst all players in the party.
* The chat log will no longer close while entering text during the following processes:
o When viewing a bazaar
o When setting up a bazaar
o During gathering
o During synthesis
* An issue wherein a player would be unable to progress with the quest “Futures Perfect,” if they join a party during the cutscene has been addressed.
* An issue wherein a player would be unable to start a levequest if they initiate a teleport at the same time has been addressed.
* Implemented a countermeasure for an issue which prevented players from gaining skill points during battle.

* A rare issue wherein an item data would get corrupted during a server outage has been addressed.
o We have confirmed that if a player attempts to put this corrupted item into their bazaar, it would cause the server to go down. We are currently in the process of addressing this issue, but until then, we have placed a temporarily restriction on these corrupted items which were being sold by certain players. We will be providing an update on this situation once we have a better idea on when the the actual fix will take place. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
* An issue wherein the login queue would not work as intended during server congestion has been addressed.
* Implemented a countermeasure to prevent server outages under a certain condition.
