Radial Interaction Menu

• Added a radial menu for interaction with player characters. You can now look at a player and hold down your use keybind to open the radial menu, then select an option by hovering over it with your mouse and releasing the use key.
  
  This new menu allows you to perform various actions on another player, such as challenging them to a ranked or unranked duel, along with things like sending them a whisper by pre-filling their name in your chat box or sending them a friend request.

Dueling

Magic

Surrender System

• Added the ability to Surrender.
  This is an action which can be found in the skill list and it can be activated when idle, during mercy mode and even while mounted. While surrendering, other players will be able to peek inside your inventory, which is useful in case you want to negotiate a deal with potentially hostile players or to show them you have nothing worth killing you over (without putting yourself at risk by doing /droploot).

Pets

• Horses can now be tamed with only 1 Effective Taming skill.
• Updated the required Taming skill level range for all pets. You can now customize your Taming skill point investment based on which pets you want to be able to tame, rather than always needing 100 Taming for most pets regardless of their strength or utility. Weaker pets generally require less Taming skill point investment.
• Beast Influence & Mastery skills now level roughly 5 times faster from each use.
• Pets no longer lose loyalty when telling it to attack a target.

• The leaderboards are per-character and use the character name.
• Leaderboards menu in the game menu renamed to Rankings.
• We will convert more of the legacy leaderboards to this new system. For now the legacy leaderboards have been removed from ingame but are still updated on the store you used to buy the game.
