Dear Sheriff,
We plan to launch the EA version on June 21, 2019. Players who have participated in the closed beta test will be rewarded with a "Space Cowboy Hat". In the Lobby's Book of Legends, we recorded the Sheriffs who have participated in the closed beta test and given us their great suggestions which have been adopted. Similarly, we will continue to adopt good suggestions from players in the EA version, and Sheriffs with good suggestions will also be recorded into our Thank You List. The sheriffs have helped us find a lot of areas for improvement after the two closed beta tests, so we are now preparing to launch the EA version and hope to improve Hopetown together with all our Sheriffs.
