This release contains some fixes for bugs, server performance, and exploits that were found which affected different areas of the game. Official servers have been wiped, as it's the first Tuesday of the month. We've also reduced the amount of official servers to encourage more players on each server. Community servers will also need to wipe.

Please post any bugs you find, or issues with the game in the bug forums:

We continue to work with EAC on further changes to prevent hacking. Please remember that any hackers caught will have their access to the game perma-banned.

If you want to report an exploit, or hacker, and learn about our process, please read this thread:

Please continue to list bugs, balancing thoughts, and email us about exploits. We plan to do a wipe on the first Tuesday of each month to keep the servers running well, and the game fresh. We expect the next wipe to be on May 3rd.
