We are excited for everyone to play the final alpha update as it introduces some major new systems and content. Since the release of the game, we provided 21 alpha updates, fixed many exploits, bugs, and implemented many community suggestions. We thank everyone for playing, testing, and making suggestions throughout this alpha period. The beta period starts next, and there is more work yet to be done. This update will require a wipe on official and community servers.

The farming system has been added into the game. You can find seeds, plant them, water them, and watch them grow. You may grow plants and berry bushes in order to provide large amounts of food. And by being able to plant trees, you can now grow a source of wood and please your entire guild.

Females have also been added into the game. You may play as a female via the character customization screen.

Spears have also been added. This new weapon type will be monitored to see how the balancing affects combat.

We've also finished our anti-hack/report system that monitors players on a server in order to help us verify reported players. Admins can check the stats provided on players on their server if they have some suspicions. Please remember that any hackers caught will have their access to the game perma-banned.

Now that the game is entering beta, the team will be focusing on bug fixing, polishing, balancing, and any further optimizations we can find. We will also be opening up more server configuration options to aid in server-side modding of the game. We will also continue to battle hacks by implementing more anti-hack and monitoring. Expect beta updates every 2-3 weeks. We estimate the beta period to last until early December based on all the critical/major bugs we are tracking. Please share with us any bug reports and balancing suggestions during this time.
