We had another great weekend of beta testing, our focus continuous to be increasing our performance and currently upgrading our client. We will also be releasing another new area which will increase game play and also be adding a few new systems so stay tuned. Thanks to all who has been participating.

Hello to all our followers, this is just a quick update on what is currently going on. We are currently busy with our new client which hopefully will fix a lot of bugs. After testing our systems the past few weeks on the weekend test runs we came to the conclusion that we had to upgrade our client as many issues were arising that was due to the lack of an updated client to the newest renderer. Although it was a major task for our programmer to take on, it looks like we are nearing its end.

On the world side we have been working on a new pvp island called Cliffers Island. This area will be released soon for testing where players will control key points on the island which will give them access to certain quests and resources. These key points can be taken over by the opposite faction thus this will be a faction pvp area. The island will consist of 5 buildings you can occupy: a Guard Tower, Tannery, Life Seekers Refuge, Mine and a Saw Mill.
More information will be released soon in regards to this new area.
