- The wet circle sweat bottles have been busy and expanded the family to include Baby Bottle.
- Two dailies for those that fancy fashion, starting somewhere on Carnival Island.
- A new stable has been added near Touch Me2 on Carnival Island and at the same location a new taming daily. The Papoo spawn density behind the tent has been increased. Time to get whipping.
- You can now find a lake on Carnival Island where you can do some relaxing/frustrating fishing. (Note: Rewards bought with the fishes include skill gain buffs. Buffs are being looked into as they may stop when you die. Player feedback and suggestions on rewards will be appreciated)
- Don’t drink from abandoned glasses you happen to find on Carnival Island. (or do if you are a cheapskate drinker)

- The Next Island Development team now offer developer services relating to vanity items and estates. Detailed information is contained in a separate post on the forum and website.

Known Issues:
