Looks like this one is mostly bug fixes with a small bit of new content... The new clothing seems interesting, though since the tailors get to choose what colors to make em, you're stuck with whatever they choose... Would suck to have them all choose like a hot pink
So, what are everyone's thoughts on this LU? Well how it is on paper atm, but the full thing in a day or so when people have gotten a chance to play it.
