HIDDEN FOG 1.1 & 1.2 UPDATES
Yes, we have 2 small updates going in over the space of one week. The first one is December 18th and the second one is December 19th.
We have not tried to patch this rapidly before so this is a test and a learning experience in and of itself.
There are bug fixes, server-side process improvements, memory use reductions, cleanups, and other small changes. Many won’t be visible to you but some will, such as improvements to the first hallway and upgrades to the graphics settings in the escape menu.
More useful details can be found here: 
HOLIDAY FIRESIDE CHAT
We had a fun fireside chat with Raph Koster on livestream yesterday.
There were leaks – some visual like concept art for Hyugons, Stokadi, and the Fae! There were other leaks like visual effects and minor details about stealth. The Bioscanner was leaked – collect all the fauna. And upcoming changes to chat. And did he mention the Corruption?
Raph answered a bunch of questions from the audience including related to music professions, acting, Newsnet, lore, the moon Haven and its planet Crucible, reactivating previously-learned skills, and player-made missions.

HOLIDAY CHANGES TO THE PLAYTEST SCHEDULE
The two small updates, combined with the holidays, are making us slightly rethink our test schedule for the rest of December.
The playtest will be available for you over most of the holidays in case you need an escape from the family. Just kidding.
STRESS TEST!
We need your help. If you can spare us one hour this month, please make it be 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern/20:00 CET on Saturday, December 20th.
