1.0.9 Update and Devlog #24
Players who enjoy playing on servers that are wiped frequently. We felt like one week was too short a time and those servers are very unpopulated so we wanted to extend the wipe cycle by a week to give more time to play on a single cycle. We will be changing them to only wiping them every other week to give more time to play before wiping.

For now, we want to keep updating and polishing the current experience. Follow the roadmap for more detailed plans on updates.
