** General **

- Improved sound for many users. Should eliminate a lot of the
"choppy" sound issues
- Fixed one of the link-death-while-zoning bugs
- Characters who disconnect while zoning shouldn't be 'stuck' for an
inordinate amount of time
- Renamed all will-o-wisps and will o' wisps to Fred.
- Reconsidered and changed Fred to willowisp.
- Pets no longer pace. Pets will now, when close to you, STOP.
- Many higher level NPCs now have a random delay before they initially
spawn. This means that they will appear at a more random time interval
after servers or zones are brought up. This is designed to provide a
fairer distribution of these NPCs across all time zones
- If you right click to auto-inventory an item that you are looting and
it will not fit into your inventory, the item will simply appear on
your cursor as if you had left clicked on it

** Gameplay Related **

- NPC and PC corpses can now be /considered to find out how long until
they decay, and PC corpses additionally tell you how long you have to
resurrect them
- The timer for corpses is now seven days for any corpse over level
five, whether the player is on-line or off-line or any combination of
the two
- Characters below level eight will no longer see light blue cons
- Spires will no longer try to teleport you to Luclin if you do not own
the expansion, and therefore will no longer move you to the 'safe
point' in the zone when it can't take you to the Nexus
- Pets can now be targeted by typing their full name after the /target
command (or at least enough of it to distinguish it from the owner)
- Knockback now works correctly when on a horse
- Summoning a horse in Plane of Sky will no longer allow you to
levitate
- Gating when in the same zone that you are bound no longer causes
problems
- Horses will no longer disappear when a character is moved to the
'safe point'

** Trade Skill Related **

- Added several trade skill items to Grobb; including a brewing supply
vendor, a brew barrel, a baking vendor, a standard forge, a pottery
cooking mold vendor, a kiln, a pottery wheel, and a sketch vendor.
- Added water flasks to two merchants in the Bazaar
- Added high quality ore vendors to Bazaar, Kaladim, and Qeynos that
sell a limited supply of HQ Ore
- Fixed an inconsistency with the armor class of Enchanted Imbued
Dwarven Plate compared to the armor class of other Dwarven-smithed
plate armor
- Batwing Pie, Bug Bites and Deadly Medley now exist
- Repaired the recipe for Superior Gnomish Spirits\Gnomish Cleaning
Substance
- Increased the drop rates of cultural armor temper components
- Added hilt mold vendors to more cities

** Quest Related **

- Made adjustments to the Whistling Fists quest
- Reduced the spawn time of the Zordak Ragefire in SoldungB. He will
now reappear every 24 hours

Runed Totem quests

** Spell Related **

- Eye of Zomm and Eye of Tallon are now non-KoS in a fashion similar to
familiars
- Koadic's Endless Intellect stacking has been fixed. If a player has
Koadic's Endless Intellect on them and anyone casts Breeze, Clarity,
Clarity 2, Boon of the Clear Mind, Gathering of the Mind, or Gift of
Pure Thought on them, it will fail and the Koadic's will remain.
- Mind Wrack gives mana instead of taking mana away
- Charm is immediately removed from charmed NPC's when the character
that charmed them casts invisibility
- Made some small improvements to Marzin's Mark
- Corrected some stacking issues with Nature's Recovery
- Blast of Frost scroll has been made available for Beastlords
- Self-only level 51+ spells will no longer fail to cast if the caster
has a lower level character targeted.
- Egress should once again force a 'zone' to clear aggro
- The damage component of Elnerick's Entombment of Ice no longer causes
the spell to have a chance at breaking its root component
- Snakes in Lavastorm and Paineel are now animals
- Hammerheads are now animals
- Treants in the Plane of Growth are now plants
- Timorous Deep gators, fish, and raptors are now animals
- Rock Hoppers in Hollowshade Moor, Shar Vahl and Shadeweavers are now
animals
- Paludal and Fungusgrove Wetfang Minnows are now animals
- Underbulks and Shik`Nar in Fungusgrove are now insects
- Rhino Beetles in Shadeweavers Thicket and Hollowshade Moor are now
insects
- Shrooms in Fungusgrove are now plants

Just a little bit of research. I know it's classic, but damn that sucks. No charming in TD for Druids until 2002, beyond the timeline.
