Dealernet Returns
Dealernet has appeared once again on the terminals across Aneurism. It seems the Midnight Bloc is moving its operations slowly away from the public eye...
Version 20 Update
With these changes happening throughout the city, work on the new map for Version 20, Genome, will be paused to first fully finish and fix Nightmare, then Misery, including areas we never got to fully explore or furnish.
Both maps will be adjusted more toward Nightmare's pacing, as well as finally adding the Mythical Wastelands. Once both maps are on the same footing, work on Genome will resume.
But first things first. Before Version 20 releases comes improvements to the game with Version 19b, which is wrapping up testing very soon.
We've assessed the state of the game with our playtesters and development team, and have come to the conclusion that we'd like to return to form with various mechanic and feature improvements.
Version 19b addresses exploits and balancing issues ranging from karma system improvements and team killing to downsizing the anamnecyte and item economy. The goal is to restore the game to a slower pace and healthier flow for both new and existing players alike.
