That’s right; we’re getting ready to release our first major update for Open Beta!

We have been working closely with Astrum Nival to go through all your bug reports and we’re pleased to inform you that 1.0.06 will fix a lot of the bugs and exploits that you have spotted and reported! We’ve also taken note of your suggestions and will be implementing new features into the game!

We have highlighted a select portion of our patch notes to share with you today:
