Hey Everyone,
Before we get to the good stuff, unfortunately we have to inform you that PvE clans are still broken on PvE server, but this will be resolved earl next week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
With that said.... Today`s milestone update comes with many new features, and a dozen of important fixes.
To start things off you`ll notice major changes to riding horses as that was completely redone with new animations, jumping, and new physics.
We also continued working on the game balancing, and this update, completes re-balancing of the mid game. Late game balancing will be in the next update.
