Since most of the questions this week have focused on the upcoming Publish 53, I've gone ahead and made a small preview for everyone! Here are some of the things you can look forward to seeing on Test Center next week:

Bug Fixes:

• Added a 15 minute timer for a guild to accept an alliance invite. This means guilds will no longer get stuck in "invite pending" mode. (For guilds in this situation now, once the publish goes live, GMs will be able to resolve the issue.)
  
• Updated vanguard controllers, spawn and locations to stop mobs from spawning underground and unreachable places
  
• Players are able to resize instead of demolish houses by saying "I wish to resize my house".
  
• Greater Dragons and Dread Warhorses will display properly in trade window
  
• Sand and Granite will have double resources in Fel now
  
• Added a statuette engraving tool
  
• Creatures will no longer teleport into private houses
  
• Snake Skin Boots will no longer say Oak
  
• Blood Oath can now be removed by eating an enchanted Apple or using Remove Curse spell
  
• Added a Priest of Mondain to Felucca Prism of Light area
  
• Zoo Collection points will now decay more slowly
  
• Lady Sylvanis will no longer chase people quite so far
  
• Repair Service Deeds now work for a Long Sword, orc, bear and tribal masks, Right facing Black staffs, Left Facing Crooks, and Left facing Clubs
  
• Player vendors can no longer hold a shield and a two handed weapon
  
• Moonglow blacksmith regions have been updated to use repair deeds
  
• Player vendors should now recognize the increased bank storage
  
• The spelling of Velocity has been corrected when a player is hit by an arrow with velocity
  
• Taming Text will now appear over the head when pet is tamed.
