Dransik 2.1 - Build: 434.230
This is the release of Phase 2 of 3 for the server code rewrite. Around 85% of the server code has been replaced or rewritten at this point. Most of the benefits of this will not be realized in this release but you will see some changes, many of which are described here. The purpose of this rewrite is to allow us to move forward with the 6-month plan posted previously which introduces new game systems, major enhancements of features and content, fixing many long-standing bugs that were unfixable with the previous server as well as moving faster with our game changes.
