The Central Hubs will now hold unified Alliance Quests. This will make specific Daily Quests tied to Alliance instead of separate Factions. As an example, the old approach was that each Faction had their own set of Dungeon Quests, which meant you had to complete the same quest 3 times in a day to get RP for each Faction. The new approach will make the NPC in the Central Hub give those Daily Quests, but with shared RP for all 3 Factions

Decorations:

Features:
- Added Death Penalty
(Death Penalty is a new system that will make players receive a penalty from dying. This can be Enabled/Disabled through server settings.
