Beta v0.6.4

General

 * You can now securely trade with other players through the context menu option “Trade”
 * You can now trade houses with other players by selecting “Transfer Ownership” from the house sign.
 * The world map is no longer available via the ‘M’ key. We feel strongly that “GPS” doesn’t make sense in our world, and having a map you open with a hotkey creates the wrong expectation. We have plans for more navigation tools that do make sense in a sandbox world. See the next note for our first pass:
 * Players can now purchase physical maps of the 5 world areas of Celador in the respective towns / outposts.
 * Players can rename and place waypoints on physical maps
 * Players can no longer mark locations on notes.
 * You can now accept crafting orders from blacksmiths. Make the requested items, add them to the order, and turn them in for a reward. Crafting orders provide a way for any player to earn a living through making weapons and armor.
 * Removed composite material drops that were not being utilized, such as thread, charcoal, and others*.
 * Dynamic camps now have mobs and loot that make sense for the difficulty of the camp
 * Server optimization pass.
 * Server stability fixes.
