The Xsyon team has announced that former players will be invited back into the game to check out all of the changes the team has implemented. The 10-day free time trial will kick off on May 18th.

Here are some of the improvements to Xsyon since the official launch:

• Expanded, flexible, part based construction system allowing players to build expansive buildings and towns.
• Completely new twitch based manual combat system with held directional swings and parries.
• Enhanced creature system. Many new and stronger creatures now inhabit Xsyon, breeding, ageing, growing in power and becoming mutants.
• Improved crafting system providing crafting tool and material bonuses.
• Redistributed rare and valuable resources.
• Forestry system with trees that grow spread and can be planted by player characters.
• Revised User Interface based on player input, including tabbed chat, a map panel, weather gauges and improved customization.
• Improved rendering with HDR lighting, detailed soft shadows and enhanced visual effects.
• Player made carts for transporting large amounts of goods and buildings as storage.
• Revised lock and permission system to control shared access of private and tribal goods.
• Vastly improved client and server stability.
