We never dreamed so much so great to scale and as a result, we had to master challenges to meet the demands of players. We have achieved several milestones in a short time and created a stable platform on the fans can expect relatively quickly to find a server for playing and I am proud of what our team has reached - but it is much more!

We focus on keeping the game stable for the fans and iterating the current capacity of the game to minimize waiting times. We want to do it right and we want to be prepared for massive enlargements when we officially launch a launch while we continue to improve the beta with regular updates, additional features and improved server capacity.
