Renewal

Renewal brings a lot of changes to an old player. Like new penalties on leveling, farming and even death. There's also a ton of new features that make playing just plain easier. A few windows can also be resized now, like Storage, Skills (small window only), Inventory and Hotkeys. Noted by the multiple lines in the lower right corner, you resize the window like you would in any other application. As for new features, many can be accessed from the drop down menu on the main player window.

Renewal Penalties

 * Boss type mobs do not have any level penalties for drops or exp
 * Dying now costs you 3% exp instead of only 1%
 * Level penalties are based on difference between your and the mob's levels
 * Drop rate penalties have been disabled, but cut the rate in half up to 16 levels difference
 * Experience rates are better the stronger the mob, but drop down to only 10% at 31 levels weaker than you and up to 140% more at 10 levels stronger, after that it drops again until 40% at 16 levels stronger than you

Main Menu
This can be accessed by pressing Alt + V for the full window, or Alt + ` for just the drop down.
