Houses
The following houses are now considered to have Recall/Hiking/Gate accessible Courtyards:
House Decay and IDOCs
Real Estate Broker NPCs
- Mastery Chain Experience and Links Unlocked are now fully stored on a per-character basis rather than on individual mastery chains themselves (this allows characters to use multiple Mastery Chains and share Experience / Unlocked Link amounts between all of them freely)

Parties
- Parties should now remain persistant through crashes and server reboots once again

- Fixed an issue where it was not checking that the creator of a Crew Begging Motivation effect was still part of the ship's Fighting Party when utilizing the bonus for crewmembers
- If a Civilian-flagged player ship damages another player ship, and both ship captains are friends or co-owners of each other's ship, it will not trigger a transition to Pirate flag status

- Players who attempt to Embark, Recall Onto, or Board a player ship while they already have another player on their IP address onboard a different player ship will be prevented from doing so and receive a message informing them of such (unless they have a MAH exemption)
- Players will not be able to place another ship in the water if they already have another ship placed by another characters on their IP address (unless they have a MAH exemption)
- Players who attempt to violate the ship IP Restriction by logging in and appearing on another player ship (while they already have an other player online on a player ship) will have all of their non-blessed / non-newbied items placed into the hold of that ship and they will be teleported along with their nearby pets to town
Origin Ship
- The first ship a player Recalls onto or Embarks onto from land is now considered their "Origin" ship
- A player can only do harmful/beneficial actions at sea if they are in the Fighting Party of their Origin ship (this fixes some issues with players embarking across friendly ships and the system getting "confused" as to which ship to check for Fighting Parties)
- Placing a ship bomb requires a player to be in the Fighting Party of their Origin ship
Ship Runes
- Ship Runes can now be placed in Runetomes
- Ship Runes removed from Runebooks and Runetomes will be automatically deleted if the corresponding ship no longer exists
