Hi everyone,
Today we have deployed a patch to our public test server and have opened it up to all actives accounts for testing purposes. If all goes well on the public test server, we will patch these changes to the live server within the next day or two. Once we get these loose ends taken care of in this patch, our focus both on a development and community engagement standpoint will be on July's road map and beyond.
You can download the lobby to keep your public test server client up to date by following this link. We will be announcing incentives to help us test and provide feedback on upcoming changes, such as our Deployable Player Vendors, in the near future so it may be a good idea to get yourself up to date now.
- Added a gravestone for a fallen Darkfall Veteran – Zunder Zolots 1993 - 2016
- Zunder started in beta, battling with intense Australian ping(350-450). He Began in Harlequin and spent his later year in the his own clan Twelve Inches Unbuffed. Many knew Zunder from his time both in battle and on vent. From helping newbie Aussies to killing leaders of VAMP he made an impression everywhere he went. His grave can be observed outside Svjartfjord, his clan’s first owned holding at one of his favorite nearby spawns.
