Topics today will be a little bit around the upcoming client patch ... [also known internally to FunCom as Offical Beta Release 2]

We have a client patch in the loop now. We hope to push this out very soon on the testlive server [as opposed to testing stuff on the live servers, not that you'd know anyway]. There has been done a lot of bugfixes in this version and it should also contain one thing some of you asked about on the bulletin boards [like good English grammar]; to be able to toggle players on/off to reduce numbers of polygons on the screen [, just log off, and the number of polygons will drop markedly. Also, we have implemented a veiw whereby locating yourself inside a wall reduces the number of visible polygons to 1, resulting in superb frame rates]. We will keep you updated with more information on this patch as soon as it is ready [which should be shortly after the second billing cycle in which you pay us money].

Other than that we are still working on the memory leak. This is still number 1 priority right now [because we didn't realize you all would play the game for more than 5 minutes. None of us at FunCom managed to keep it running that long]. We are also getting closer with a new interface to the payment system, and an interface to your account information [so that it will be easier for you to sign over your children in order to get decent playability. You don't think this is all going to be free do you?].

We see that more and more people are enjoying themself in the world of Rubi-Ka [as is evident from the number of curses coming from inside walls in dungeons], and we also see that a lot of players are having fun [teasing players who are stuck in walls in dungeons, until they get a lag spike and get themselves stuck in a wall]. Remember that you should as far as possible try to get a group [of people who are all stuck in the same wall], this will show pretty significant on the XP you get [because you will be able to fight off monsters that attack each other, possibly] :) [ :) ]
