The server start was delayed due to a technical issue. We apologize for the inconvenience, the game is now up and running.

This solo set should be considered a somewhat experimental one. We will try some new features in the solo spirit, to be implemented shortly, and then possibly adjusted during the course of the set as required. This is not something we usually do outside of beta, but we feel there is a need to tune certain aspects of the server's mechanics.

We welcome all players to join and as usual, but ask that you bear this in mind as you choose to play and/or donate for supporting status. Unless otherwise announced later on, the experimental status concerns only the current solo set, and is not intended to be a recurring thing.
