This changelog is in no way complete, I have not even attempted to record all the changes to Creatures alone that have been done over time. This also is lacking added custom items as well.. But this is a good reference for our changes, compared to a standard RunUO shard. I basicly ran a compare with WinMerge from RunUOscripts, to mine, and these are the changed files only.. not added.

Yeah, well there is nothing super special about them, I mean.. Im no recket scientist. The main thing is that they are independant from one another.. so they dont have to preform all the unnessisary checks to a hundered things that do not relate to them. I feel after playing around with them, that they do act and respond a lot 'cleaner' in game
