Kingdom of Atham: Crown of the Champions
Weekly Update + Important Information - V.0.2.16
The official servers seem to be running in a low capacity and performance. This is compared to private servers and our test servers which are running well with KoA.
We would like to match that experience for new players, but also allow veteran players a lag free server. With that being said certain things require us to wipe to implement them as well;
-Character customization (Body Size, Beard Colors, Hair Colors).
-New foliage with extra resources.
-New world bridges.
-New Cave's (PvP) & Small villages to build in (RP).
-Fixing of floating island loot & shrines .
-New player based skills.
-One tool to rule them all (Hatchet + Pick + Hammer + Torch).
-More Server admin tools (Give owners the ability to kick , ban , etc).
Depending on how fast we implement and test these new changes the wipe would occur within 2 weeks.
