Development Blog - January 2023
Greetings everybody!
Welcome to the first Technology and Development Blog of 2023! It has been quite a while since our last blog, but we wanted to take the time this month to reflect on our achievements during 2022, and give an insight towards our plans for the year ahead. In this blog, we’ll be specifically focusing on some of our internal updates that occurred in the latter half of 2022, talking about our recent minigames tournament, detailing our reasons for disabling Soulshard Wars, and concluding with a long overdue update on our server upgrade.
We recommend you check out our previous blogs from 2022 where we introduced our plans for the server upgrade, mapped out our 2022 goals, and gave an insight into some of the inner workings of our server and the types of data we collect in order to help us finetune the player experience!

Soulshard Wars Disabled
Greetings Witches and Wizards,
It’s with a heavy heart that we announce today the decision to disable Soulshard Wars. Unfortunately Soulshard Wars has been one of our lowest performing minigames, and after much deliberation we have decided that the burdens of revamping the minigame to confine to our style would outweigh the potential gained benefits.
Please refer to our upcoming January Development Blog for more information on why we made this change.
