An errant multiplier for two-player groups in the Ettenmoors has been corrected. The error was reducing the amount of Infamy/Glory to 5% instead of providing a 5% bonus before dividing the amount of Infamy/Glory earned.

The keys of Lugazag and Tirith Rhaw now grant properly when flipping a keep to your faction.
Chests in the Towers that grant rewards will now lock so they can be used by other players.
Rewards from chests at the Towers now provide a decaying reward package item. This is done to ensure that the loot in the chest is able to respawn.
