Apple approved the app for launch. I have about a week of work to do before I launch the game, but we're close. Beta will be over soon. I'll post more information about that in a few days.
Lowered the gold-for-crowns exchange rate by 50%.
No more per-level crown bonuses.
Raised the max level cap for the Minath Ruins to 25.
Quicksand now disappears after you escape it. when flying you can't get stuck in quicksand.
Raised Portable Balloon crown cost to 150.

Put in some extra code to help ensure that inventories don't disappear. They might still, but it seems waaaaay less likely. You may, however, see messages about not being able to save your character, in which case contact me immediately.
Added a short tunnel between New Verden and Davos.
CacoDemon nerf, though they are still nasty.
Updated Amulet of Lifesaving to clear your combat queue, which should (hopefully?) remove any pending hits that might kill you after the teleport.
Gave everyone full skill points up to level 25.
Added resurrection machines and vending machines.

Gave everyone a starter pack of 100 crowns. Every new character starts with 100 crowns.
From now on, leveling up gives you your level in crowns. E.g. when you hit level 10, you get 10 crowns. I pro-rated it for everyone, so all of you actually have more than 100 crowns -- some upwards of 400+.
For reference, here are the costs for buying crowns (with real money):
- 10 crowns for $.99 (or whatever the equivalent price tier is in your region, according to Apple)
- 50 crowns for $3.99 (a 20% discount)
- 150 crowns for $9.99 (a 33% discount)
- 400 crowns for $24.99 (a 40% discount)
- 1000 crowns for $49.99 (a 50% discount)
You can purchase Quest Points with Crowns. The only machine right now is in the NV Adventurer's Guild. You can only buy specific amounts:
- 1 QP for 1 Crown 10 Crowns (values changed; see below)
- 5 QP for 4 Crowns 40 Crowns
- 10 QP for 7 Crowns 70 Crowns
- 15 QP for 10 Crowns 100 Crowns
I will be awarding people crowns on a discretionary basis (no guarantees or promises) for work performed in service of the Wyvern community, e.g. writing tutorials or user guides. If you create a guide, make sure to let me know, and I will consider whether it's worth giving you some crowns for it. Right now I only have the ability to award personal crowns as bonuses, for technical reasons, so you'll have to pick which character will receive them.

Further detail is in the Official Notes.
