News about Auction House, Trade and Guild Storage.2026-07-25Hey everyone!! Zero & Python here. (No we aren't responsible for the server restarts 😭 ) But we did just disable the guild storage for maintenance to test new item infrastructure. We apologize for not giving a warning, but it was very much intentional and important to prevent abuse.ETAAuction house, trading & guild storage will be fixed and deployed back live in this upcoming week. If anything changes we will let you know.WHYSeveral reasons, but mainly to protect the longevity and integrity of the game, and its economy. A lot of you love this game, but none of you want to play a broken unfair game either. Because of several amazing players,

Update: Trade | Auction House | Servers2026-07-22Hey everyone!What's happeningIt's been a rough launch, and we want to thank you all for your patience. The game itself was ready but launch surfaced issues we hadn't encountered before, and we know how frustrating that's been.We had moved to a new backend architecture between the demo and EA, and it couldn't handle the unforeseen player count. Phil also only just received the Kickstarter funds, and am in the process of hiring a full-time backend developer. Although I'd been accepting applications for the role for a couple of months, the timeline (Playtest > Demo > Kickstarter > EA) left no breathing room to actually onboard a new dev.Trade Lo

[0.16.0] Rebalance Patch2026-04-19Patch got delayed due to balancing difficulties with a small testing team, and a bit of feature creep. We were also going to include some new passives (think talents) but it took a bit too long and was not included.Patch tldr;The game balance had gotten pretty bad, getting out of hand with each class release but not much time to address them. We've rebalanced all class damage and sustain based on several metrics. These metrics will be used to balance future classes so we don't get into the same situation.Damage and sustain was very spikey, with one-shots and full heals being the norm. The game was becoming more like an ARPG where it only prom
