Christmas Quest

Added the full 'A Christmas Warble' 2009 quest;
You can start the quest by entering the Christmas Cupboard South of the Home area;
Once inside, speak to the Snow Imp and help free Santa from the evil Ebenezer Scourge;
You'll receive additional paper, cosmetics, spins & a few other goodies for completing it;

Combat

Fixed the NPC Examine interface's 'Monster Weak Against' line - it will now once again properly display the NPC's weak against style;
Changed how weakness hit chance multipliers work. Your hit chance will now be much lower if using a style that the NPC is strong against;
You will now correctly auto-retaliate against the Queen Black Dragon's attacks;
The shield 'Provoke' ability will now work correctly against Yakamaru. CPR and Quick-sand rescues should also now function correctly;

Distrations & Diversions

Added a brand new sub-interface under the Quest Journals tab dedicated to all timed server events;
You'll be able to see when each event is happening next or if it's active, your participations left, and the command to teleport there;
Shooting star, Evil tree, Travelling Merchant and the Wildywyrm will no longer reset their timers on a server restart and will continue based off of a fixed time on next server boot;
You will now be able to toggle chat-box notifications for each Event that is tracked on the new interface. All of them will be enabled by default;

Velheim Teleportation Menu

The 'Velheim Teleportation Menu' teleport list will now automatically resize its scroll-bar after using the search option;
You can now use the 'Spacebar' key to teleport to a selected destination;
Inputing whitespaces, or, nothing at all,- in the search window will no longer try to filter teleports and return normally. The minimum amount of symbols needed for it to search normally is now: 3;

World progress saving

Added a new system to handle data saving throughout server restarts;
This new system currently saves/loads these world progresses: Kharid'Et Pylon, Giant Christmas cracker. If you have any other in mind - let me know in the suggestions section;

Miscellaneous

Players who've been idle for a while will now get automatically kicked from the 'Help' friends chat, this will only start occuring when the chat is close to full. This is to ensure actual new players can enter it and ask for assistance;
Due to a high request, once you've collected 1500 points in the Big Chinchompa mini-game, you will now automatically get placed outside and receive your Competence points;
Vote parties: Ironmen can now receive Velheim coins from parties as long as they're not AFK and have voted in the last 24 hours. Jailed players will now be excluded from them;

Fixes

The Antique chest from Squeal of Fortune can now be opened as expected;
Corrected the Christmas paper version received from Santa's kidnapping event;
Trading other players while you have an unresolved Bank Pin since last login will now automatically trade that player after you've entered your Pin correctly;
You will no longer be able to move, path-find to objects/NPC's/players - during cutscenes;
Fixed Grotworm walk animations;
Legio bosses will once again drop noted grimy herbs;
You can now once again use items from your inventory directly on Portable skilling stations placed in the world;
Bloodwood logs and shafts will now get removed at the start of the death animation if the player is killed.
