Thanks again to the testers for their work! It's good to see people giving time and energy like this to help us!
Also, thanks to the testers who play the moles in the hackers teams to report us the trick of the day ^^ (the concerned guys will know).
And finally, many thanks to the Russian community (mostly coop-land I guess ^^) for its unexpected and fortunate help, giving us the possibility to test the game with a full server prior the release. Which is a real luck actually!
