Update 3.1

The siege / server performance test yesterday on Testlive went well and we had a number of players attending which allowed us to have several PvP mini-games tests together with a siege test and also a sort of „raid“ after the siege. During the course of these tests we were able to gather valuable data on server and client performance. The logs and feedback are now being analyzed.

Currently we still plan to deploy update 3.1 to the live servers sometime next week. This does, as always, depend on some additional testing that has to be done over the weekend and beginning of next week. We will let you know when we have more details and information on the status.
