[previewyoutube=ZYk8FjRaN_o;full][/previewyoutube] Hi Everyone, We, Darkirby3 and Linkupdated are really happy to bring you the first official update of Citywars Tower Defense! We first want to thank you guys for the huge interest toward our little project. We could not have wished for more at this point. (No really stop, you're so many on our poor server it barely holds up! XD ). The last 48 hours were a roller coaster of excitement and panic as we saw all of you flooding the game in such great numbers! A steady flow of 200 players were in the game at all times when we expected 50 to 70. Thank you so much! But with an unexpectedly successful game comes a bunch of unexpected issues. For us it was big lag spikes issues. When we got to 200 concurrent players the server experienced problems and as much as we optimized it before it was not enough. But fear not! We will always protect the Massively multiplayer! You will soon be able to enjoy even more streamlined gameplay and less lags issues as we keep fixing and updating the game. Here's what we have done so far. To ease the pain of our poor server we have bought a brand new server. Bigger is better! You now have a stronger server set up to pick up the slack and accommodate more players. We optimized the database. We streamlined our maps and music. There is still a lot more to do but we are on the right track to offer the multiplayer experience you deserve guys. We are so happy to have made the switch during this all nighter shift! Hope you can experience the difference too. We are still working on a solution for all players far away from Canada. We also improved the feel of the game. No more blinding white character customization and tutorial map. Sit back and relax in our new and improved tropical island tutorial. Easily set all your basic character features, including his voice (wow :-o !), under the palm tree shade smelling the ocean breeze.
2022 Politically Correct here we come! No more taco, seamen and Rodolf Miller in the chat. We implemented a spam and swear filter to create a more fun and friendly environment in-game. It s still a work in progress, but we are hard at work to make it better. Enjoy the chat and connect with players in the game to try and defeat our most difficult challenges like the secret hidden map of Noblewood. Special thanks to @Fist Bump That provided us with a good list of bad words.

Finally, sorry for everyone who experienced the error of the spooky naked white baby. With the flow of players on our potato server the map corrupted itself and people got stuck inside an empty white area. We fixed the area and completely remade the look of the spawn of the server.
We will continue to release patches as issues are identified and resolved. If you experience any issues, let us know by submitting a bug report on our discord channel. Thank you, 01 Studio
