More future-proofing: the game now supports multiple servers (but for now still just using the one. Afterall, each can support 250+ plrs ;))
Multi-server support!

Refer A Friend (for gold!)
I created a Refer-A-Friend system – refer a friend to the game and you each get 50 extra gold (for up to 5x friends).

FanArt Winner
Well, I only got one submission for the fanart contest, so choosing a winner was very easy! 😉
Here is Vrocaan’s submission, which shows several new weapons that would be pretty cool to have in-game, and sooner or later I’ll get around to implementing:
For his efforts, Vrocaan gets 250g!
Optimizations & Load Testing
I wrote an app to generate many connections to the server and simulate many players moving around:
After doing some optimizations (now on the live server), I was pleased to have the server still perform well, even with 250 (simulated) players moving around at the same time. Since the server is running in debug mode, I expect once I switch to release mode it will be even higher!
