Dear Others,
Since last night's patch the servers have been much more stable in comparison and many of you could enjoy the worlds of Otherland. Yet we are facing still some issues as an aftermath of the recent changes: mostly players getting stuck while transitioning between Zones, Portal Problems and Tutorial Map crashes. We are working on all of these and are happy we could solve some of them!
We are planning to do a maintenance at 7PM (GMT+1) that should last about one hour, to update the servers. You will have to download the patch and update your client after that.

Update: It seems there is an issue with Steam right now (was it even offline for a while?), preventing us to upload the prepared patch. Servers are still up and the maintenance has to be delayed until it is working again. As this is out of our hands we do not have an ETA. Sorry.

Update 2: The build is on Steam now and we will start in 5 minutes to take the server down and apply the patch.

Update (9:42PM GMT+1): The maintenance is complete and the patch has been applied to both EU and NA server. You can login now!

Please find the detailed patch notes below:

Patch v5.4.6
• We addressed the problem of transitioning between different zones, be it by portal or being “teleported” by a quest.
• Character duplicates that were created during server problems have been deleted and players affected by the problem should now be able again to create new characters.
• Various quests have been modified to make transitions more reliable. This should avoid problems like being stuck in Limbo in the future.
• For those already affected by the problem, like players whose characters are stuck in Limbo (admit it, you love the irony) there should now be a portal to move on.
• Several issues in the tutorial zone have been fixed. While our fixes did not improve on the tutorial itself (which we still plan to do at a later date), they should have improved the tutorial’s stability on the servers.
• A couple of performance issues have been fixed in Limbo and Five Isle.
• Fixed an item interaction issue in the quest “Let’s go red” on Mars Docks.

Again, we will keep working on other reported issues with the next patch, which is scheduled for Monday. Please stay tuned!

Thank you for your support,
Alpha, Akio and the Otherland Team!
