Weapon items renamed in the catalog did not generally change size because they become unique with a rename. If you have issues with those send into apps and I can fix them to sizes where they can be wielded. Case by case basis though. (this does not include ones that you can get resized ingame at a repairer)
May you find the knowledge you seek. If you find something else, it is still knowledge, and as such, still a gain.

Wow. Neat.

Is there anyway for us to change what handeness we are? Instead of being assigned one?
Confusion heard his voice, and wild uproar Stood ruled, stood vast infinitude confined;
Till at his second bidding darkness fled, Light shone, and order from disorder sprung.

You do not need to change the world, merely leave it a little better than how you found it.

Not positive - but it looks like created items get set to the old defaults.

So something created that is default large sized to a medium sized creature, is no longer able to be held.

My example that I created today on Kallias.

"construct weapon 'light crossbow' ebony"

created

"It is a light crossbow in the clubs category of weapons.
It can be picked up, held.
It cannot be worn with any other armour.
It is large in size."

after wear crossbow with empty hands

"An ebony light crossbow is too big for you to wield it."


not positive, i assume this applies to all weapons that were intended to be held with both hands with old code.
Listen up! People pay good money to see this movie! When they go out to a theater they want cold sodas, hot popcorn, and no monsters in the projection booth! Do I have to come up there myself? Do you think the Gremsters can stand up to the Hulkster?

The flight spells have been modified that landing will not end it any longer. You will just need to type Fly again to get airborne once more/Land to land again.

dort, wo zwischen Grabkreuzen Mohnblumen blühn,
da flüstern die Gräser und wiegen sich leicht
im Wind, der sanft über das Gräberfeld streicht.

I was wondering about the whole handedness thing as well. I've always played Hrosskell as left-handed (because I am in fact a lucky-lefty, and the Norweges had sweet left-handed skirmishers), and was wondering if anything could be done to reflect this. For the most part a trivial matter, but it's cool as sliced bread.

I'd like to see that, too.

Maybe like adjectives where you can set it once and after that it needs intervention from a member of the staff.

You can apply to change your handedness to the application address. I'd ask for the following:
A good reason for the change,
A brief history of the character,
That the character is not new and has an established role play.

and most importantly, that you limit it to one character per account.
May you find the knowledge you seek. If you find something else, it is still knowledge, and as such, still a gain.
