Changes

   Addressed an issue with followers being lost at logout.
       When a player logs out, followers (pets, hired NPCs) will be auto-stabled, returning to the player upon login.
       Pets that do not automatically return to the player can be claimed at the stable master. 
   Arrows that miss their target will now be recovered automatically, rather than dropping to the ground behind a mob.
   Shortly after dropping out of war mode, any recoverable arrows will be placed in the player's backpack.
   Treasures of Tokuno event has ended
       Players no longer accumulate points towards Treasures of Tokuno rewards when defeating enemies.
       Ihara Soka will still be around to reward players for turning in artifacts.

   Added petition functionality, you can now target up to three people when reporting a verbal harassment issue. Targeting players can be done in 3 methods:

Fixes

   Added fix for the swing speed cap, it is now back to 1.25 seconds for every swing.
   Vendor contracts display a collect rent button even when they have no gold. This has been fixed so the option won't appear unless they have a value greater than 0.
   Added fix for an issue where attempting to enhance or repair a metal item causes it to be smelted instead.
   Added fix for the True Britannians faction border. It is now properly aligned with the "blue blocker" boundary.
