The Dark and Light team is happy to announce a price reduction for Dark and Light on the Steam store across all regions. We believe that this new price better reflects what players are looking for when browsing the huge selection of games available on Steam.
The development team is also working towards bringing Dark and Light to full release, and part of that process involves reconstructing the engine and how data is stored. Without going into too much technical detail, this will greatly reduce instances of Adventurers losing their gear or items, as well as resolving any character loss issues during server transfer.
The price reduction is effective immediately and will be the new default price for Dark and Light moving forward.

Official Servers Announcement
Hello Adventurers.
With the introduction of server transfers, our next move is to close inactive/low population servers and consolidate our playerbase so each server has a healthy population.
There are currently 344 official servers, and after the server closures there will be a total of 100 official servers.
You can find the list of official servers that will exist after here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RITcY9Cb1vORC6U9KaGF56cL6JI3Tu-4tFGhqifku2w/edit?usp=sharing
Our current plan is to close the servers in two batches, one in late January and one in late February. The first will close servers that are completely inactive.
In an upcoming patch we will be disabling server transfers to servers that will be closing, which means players will only be able to server transfer to the soon to be remaining 100 official servers. We highly recommend that you do this as soon as possible to avoid any potential issues.
We'll be working closely with our customer support team in order to insure those that do transfer over correct any issues that may happen. Please screenshot of clip your transfer process just in case, and so player support will be able to assist more promptly
For servers that will be closed, we will be keeping a permanent copy of the server data. We encourage players to contact us to acquire a copy of the server data and continue to play on a local or dedicated server.
Thank you all for your dedication to Dark and Light.
