Great updates, keep it up

Awesome update! I love the AFK island idea.

[Raspberry 13]

This is a lovely update. I'm very eager to experience for myself all of these changes and additions.

What with Auras which I never thought I'd be interested in again after exchanging for the few that I use so many months ago, and then never again giving the shop a moment's notice. Not to forget Skilling Contracts (I'm slightly biased in my support of this system), which I absolutely adore, so seeing its content expand will only lengthen my lasting enjoyment as a whole. Being able to revitalize older content is always really sweet to see, not to mention rather difficult, especially for things that have garnered a lull in interest.

My thanks to the developers and everyone involved for such a refreshing batch of updates. I really appreciate the consistent and creative quality of the work that you've put out. ?
