Game updates/2026-02-02

Update Notes: February 2, 2026

This is a small bug-fix update:

- Fix bug causing monsters to camp player corpses

- Fix bug allowing players to loot corpses they shouldn't (!)

- Further performance improvements to client assets, including a new approach to horse texture management:

- Convert horse texture algorithm from the CPU to the GPU. This is obviously much quicker, and lets us compress the textures so they're much smaller now too - win/win!

- Fix bug causing people to sometimes play instruments while they're sheathed

- Party Members now get their own nameplate color! Defaults to green. To change it, go to Settings > GUI > Colors > Nameplates

- Update default positions for Quest Tracker, XP Tracker, and Party Frames

- Fix bug preventing buffs/debuffs with a number counter from being hovered over

- raise demo player level cap on Cartography and Gourmand from 15 to 25 (so they can't accidentally lose irretrievable XP due to the cap)

- more server performance optimizations

- added a shovel you can find on the beach of the newbie island
