"Re-branded" to Life Forge - Reborn ORPG. I feel that since I took over Life Forge has become somewhat an entirely new adventure for people and we do not belong in the Early Access category on Steam. This is the end of Early Access which means we move into a "New Releases'" category on Steam and I hope the minor "Re-branding" will get some old players who left due. Long gone are the days of poor management, hourly crashes and dupe bugs that ruined the economy, which I hope old players will return and re-try with a fair playing field and with consistent updates and with minimal downtime.
