Patch Notes: The gate's crowd

The Oblivion Gate

When the gate opens, its court lets a crowd in about five times faster. If it is busy you now wait at its door instead of being thrown out of the court.
When all 256 places in the Burning Court's fight are taken you are no longer sent away: you stay at its edge and watch the whole fight, and you join it if a place frees (one frees when someone who took a place leaves without really fighting - a fighter who fought keeps theirs). While you watch nothing in the court can hurt you, you cannot strike, and you earn no share of the spoils.

Your online character now saves itself every five minutes instead of every two. Trades, crafting, profession work and everything the server settles still save at once, and the game still saves when you switch away from it - only a crash could cost you up to five minutes of play: walking, looting, quest steps, a level-up.

The account service makes fewer trips to its database, so busy evenings should load faster.
Everyone is disconnected once when this update reaches the server, and reconnects on their own.
