Reaper Updates

[Tent]

Hello! This is the first of many updates designed to bring Reaper back from the dead and eventually create new content for the realm. This thread will also serve as a changelog for future updates.

When we started Reaper's upgrade to 4.3.4, we wanted it to stay as a "classic" realm so players could come back and experience the realm as it was before Project Fire. This was clearly not a good fit for our population at the time and things quickly died out.

Eternian's development server is currently undergoing some maintenance so I saw this as a good opportunity to revisit things and attempt to bring Reaper back to life. As stated in the beginning of this post, we will be releasing several updates to achieve that. This first update is a large content balance update to fix up the current content a bit and make things better for a smaller population.
