Server Updates & Consolidation
- We have decided to close several monthly wipe servers due to low player numbers and overall unpopularity.
- Specifically, the KR 5 server will be officially closed starting with this update.
- By reducing server capacity, we aim to consolidate our community into more active servers rather than having players spread across multiple half-empty ones.
- Don't worry—if the playerbase grows and demand for more capacity returns, we will reopen these servers for each region.
Engine Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.7
- The game has been upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.7.
- This upgrade is vital for future console compatibility and cross-platform support.
- This version provides performance improvements, specifically regarding the Chaos physics engine.
Thank you for your patience and support! Enjoy the Wild Growth update.
