Here is today's update from the official site: Today’s topics are the patch that we are currently testing on the test server, some news on the progress of our community manager, and a word on the e-mail problems we had this morning. On Friday, we released a data patch on the test server that is mainly an update on content and data, but also introduces a number of bug fixes. There are some people helping us test it on the test server, and the initial feedback they have given us after playing with the new patch over the week-end has been very good, and the progress is very promising. As far as we can see, the patch looks good, and at this stage in the testing we haven’t discovered any bad effects or major problems introduced with the changes made in the patch. There is more testing to be done however, and we will continue to keep you updated on the progress as well as an estimate on when we will release it on the two live dimensions. If you would like to help us test the patch, or just check out the changes to see what the patch does, all you need to do is follow the instructions on the link testserver to be able to log onto the, well, test server. The introduction of our new community manager has sparked a plan to improve the communication with our players. His first week at work he wanted to get an overview of the current situation in the community, reestablish his contact with the fan-sites, get active on the forums, and update the FAQ and online manual. This work is already well underway; we hope you have noticed the effort, and that you will also see a lot of improvement in this department very shortly. The focus of the community team long term will be to continue these things already started, and increasing that activity to the extent where you, the players can feel more included and updated. We recognize how our flow of information hasn’t been as extensive as we would have liked, and as mentioned this will now be put into focus and improved. As mentioned earlier, we have been experiencing some problems with our support e-mail. These problems are now fixed, and the people affected by these problems have received an e-mail from us.
