The entire team has been working a lot the latest weeks on getting high stability on the server which has been highest priority at this point. There's been a lot of work to do on our release version in the network codes, to get back to the stability level we had in our previous tests. But because of increased number of player support the time to "work" the new code was necessary, I'm happy to see that our current testers understand this and are glad to see that we are almost back to the stability level we need to be able to proceed with implementing our game features. I’m very proud of the team at Star Vault and our moderators, everyone is doing an amazing job even we all have had a stressful period the latest months. Things are now slowly getting into place after all hard work, and we thank you for your great support.
The server is getting more stable now, the latest patch will also solve a lot of the client crashes some testers experience at the moment. After these patches we will start to heavily add our game features into the beta. We will also do our best in communicate with you on what’s going on at Star Vault which always been a high goal for us. I’m going to join the irc mortal online channel today (18:00GMT+2) to answer some questions about Mortal Online with those who are interested, everyone is free to join.

Regarding downloading the new client, unfortunately the best solution to get the client fast is via our torrents. We are working on a better patching solution at the moment, and we will make sure we have more seeders for the torrent client this time.
Regarding the forum changes, there have been some misunderstandings from our part. We are looking into what’s best for the forum members at this point to go with, if we need to change forums or just add bug tracking to our current one. Also with little time required from the team, we hope to get to a conclusion as soon as possible, while we go through this, we will have an beta channel for all beta users within a few days, more info on this will be posted here soon. We are also looking for new moderators for the forums.
We are now also expanding our team to help us creating the best possible fantasy sandbox mmorpg!
We have got two new AI programmers to help us get a unique PVE experience, two new 3d artists building on the world. We also got a very experienced lead artist who joined our team today that will help us get higher efficiency in the production phases. We welcome them to the team of Star Vault.
