== PROMOTIONS ==

DEFIANCE SEASON 2!
In celebration of season 2 of Defiance, we’re now offering a new Radiant Hellbug mount and Hellbug combat pet skin on the Store!

GENERAL
* When a player goes link dead, all group or raid members will now receive a chat message that they have gone link dead, along with the currently residing effect of their name turning gray.
* Guilds that have changed their name can now be searched for in the Guild Finder window by their new name, so players no longer have to search for the guild by their old name only to see the new name in the window.
* Fixed a server disconnect that happened when playing the intro movie from character selection.

RIFT STORE AND SERVICES
