Here’s this week’s thread for any Fallen London questions you don’t want to start a whole thread for!
Is the fact there are less details in the various Living Stories a bug or a feature? For instance my A Rat No Longer only told me the shillings had been converted, and not the usual breakdown of what I got.

Time the Healer is also considerably shortened. I thought I just missed an announcement for the change.
Interesting. Makes sense I suppose, it was getting rather long with all the different weekly qualities.
Bit of a shame, really. I use it as a checklist of stuff to do. But I can understand wanting to reduce the bloat.
On Discord they confirmed that it was a bug, they didn’t mean to shorten TtH, etc.
They’re waiting for a particular staff member to come back from vacation to address it. Everything should still be functioning correctly, it’s just details are missing from those messages.

Surprising Packages have been redesigned, they no longer kick you out of your inventory!
Third-hand rumor from Discord is that FBG categorically denies adding a new rare pet like the Blemmigan, which is odd because no one asked.

This is a very welcome little improvement! I just burned 17 packages in a row, with zero annoyance, when I’ve previously only been able stand doing two or three at a time max! Didn’t get the new rare pet yet, but did see quite a few new items.

Look at it’s little face!! <3
Any confirmation whether it replaced the secretary, or are they both still obtainable?
Just did four in a row, and two were new items (no beastie, though). Big improvement.

The patch notes (Patch Notes - #626 by lukefbg) say " The possible contents of Surprise Packages remains 90% the same, with a handful of additions (and no subtractions)."
Since it says no subtractions, I assume that the secretary is still there hiding out at package value 1000.

Third-hand statement from Discord via Reddit is the old range 501 to 750 (London street signs) was compressed into 501 to 599, and new stuff lives in the vacated range. There’s at least one anecdotal report of someone receiving a Secretary after the change. I’m personally more concerned about whether I can still get my soul back, which I assume I can, but I’d much rather have a little guy.
