Please take note this topic is currently being worked on, more information can be found within the next days.
If you can't wait, feel free to contact us on Discord.

Personal thoughts and comments
The game is amazing which explains why the community is very loyal, maybe not to the server but to the game overall.
It does have it's core issues and we will try to fixe those so the game feels motivating, rewarding and fun.

• Game relies way too much on RNG (Gacha), invested time by players often does not pay off.
• Game relies way too much on premium items behind a paywall, I am a defender of oldschool game mechanics.
  I believe everything that is required for a player to reach endgame content must be available from playing the game itself.
  Premium items need to be reduced to a minimum, examples: Visuals (character costumes, weapon costumes)

You will see some of the changes posted on the roadmap already exist on certain other servers.
Reason: We don't try to reinvent the wheel. Whatever works good on other servers and benefits the players will work for us as well.
We don't try to copycat and we will also bring in our own ideas to make the game feel fresh.

Hello!

We would like to inform our players that we are approaching the final steps from our roadmap.
Our maintenance on 05.06.2020 will be the last maintenance that contains a variety of changes to the game, the content can be seen on the post above (CW22).

After the 05.06.2020 we will enter a stabilization phase. This means the amount of changes with each maintenance will be reduced to almost zero.
Maintenances will only contain events, implemented suggestions and bugfixes. This will continue until we start working on upgrading to a higher game version.

We would to thank everybody for staying patient with us and we hope you enjoy playing the game!
