• The first iteration of Update 1.06 has arrived on the Testlive servers yesterday for you to check out and test. The Guild Renown System, new Tier 3 Raid instance and a new Raid Loot Token System are the main additions but there are many other tweaks and improvements to check out too. You find an overview including links to more detailled articles about the main new features on the forums here.

• Beginning of this week, we held an exclusive live presentation of the 'Rise of the Godslayer' expansion on XFire. If you missed it, you can check out the video of the complete demo which is available on XFire.

• There were also numerous articles and interviews published on various websites this week covering both information about Update 1.06 as well as impressions of the Rise of the Godslayer presentation:
  
  
  • Interview with Craig Morrison on Thirteen1
  • Massively about what's to come in Rise of the Godslayer

  And 'fresh from the press' so to speak: there is an exclusive "Rise of the Godslayer" Developer Diary video available on Incgamer today. In this video Communications Director Erling Ellingsen, Game Director Craig Morrison and Lead Designer Joel Bylos talk about the "Rise of the Godslayer" expansion. You find the video on Incgamers.com

• Update 1.05.7.4 which was deployed this week to the live servers fixed some of the latency issues many of you have been experiencing. We are however aware that some are still having these issues. Our technicians are hard at work to find a solution for this and we expect to have another maintenance downtime next week. As always, we will announce it as soon as we have all the details ready.
