===ARYNTIUS UPDATE 2.2.4 - THE SHATTERED DREAM===
This content update adds some quality of life features and a large amount of new content for the earlygame, including a new questline for brand new players.
===NEW ADDITIONS===
- Added Paleon, a brand new starting town accessible to players new and old along with a massive questline and several dungeons surrounding the area. Use /tutorial to enter it!
- Completely revamped the /help menu by removing all categories and putting the major contents into the main menu. This should help new players learn the ropes much quicker than before.
- Players can now sit down using /sit. They can also lie down using /lay.
Do note that /lay will only change how you look to other players. Viewing yourself in F5 mode while lying down will have no visible differences.
