Crossposting this here since it pertains to 3.0 and the test instance.
Someone was having trouble with the old thrown bug where if you didn't check encumbrance it compiled the weight of the thrown weapon each time you got it. Checking encumbrance was the only way to eliminate the phantom encumbrance penalty that the bug caused when using thrown weapons originally. Kodius had fixed it a while back though I thought.
I noticed something else that Kodius fixed having been reverted back to not-fixed just recently, and that's called shots. Originally called shots weren't working in test and Kodius fixed it, but now they're not working again.
I also noticed that the plaza in Crossings is missing -- I wonder if they reverted back or something and some of the fixes got reverted back as well?

Crossings and other areas are likely to be screwed up because we haven't really paid much attention to instance syncronization.
I know of nothing with encumberance that would have been touched, however. Is the problem with the encumberance bar, or with your actual encumberance?
Will have to look into called shots. Frustrating that it keeps breaking :(

I heard someone was having trouble with taking defensive hits due to repeated THROWing of a thrown weapon, but that it fixed when he/she started checking encumbrance.
There was an old bug that you fixed which did the same thing -- The bug keeps adding a phantom weight of the thrown weapon to the character's encumbrance unless that character uses the encumbrance verb, to the point that the character can start to receive defensive penalties due to excess weight.

I used to see this BUG by throwing logs, and it was massively annoying. It'd get to the point where it would knock me over thinking I had some colossal weight on me. You throw something, the system thinks you have that weight still on you, you pick it up and throw it again and it just compounds the weight. Checking your encumbrance and a few other things seemed to make it realize "oh, you don't have 50 logs on you" and suddenly you were fine.

It may have been SOCHARIS that fixed it before in 2010:
>>There was a bug with throwing weapons and encumbrance not getting reduced. This has been fixed.
