Sapience has announced that Bullroarer is now open with the Volume 3, Book 1 – Patch 1 scheduled to go live soon.
I’ll go ahead and post the release notes here as well. Most of these are “fixes” however, there are some interesting things to note as well regarding the Inn League and some of the upcoming Summer Festival as well! I’m not sure if the Summer Festival is live on the server or not, but you can bet we’ll find out soon!

So, new content is almost upon us and Bullroarer is open for those in the US to go play with it and discover bugs, spelling mistakes, and what they think of the changes.
There’s not TOO much different, but there’s definitely changes of interest. The preliminary release notes can be read here – they’re not that long, so I suggest you go read through them all.
Headline stuff seems to be level 64 skills, 2-man skirmishes, new crafting recipes for certain crafts, and you can add notes to friend/ignore lists (so a year on you may remember why you ignored someone – something we were discussing only the other night). Oh +fate/+will food in the crafting stuff. Will have to hunt down my cooking friends!!
