• Fixes a potential game lockup if subscribers try to form a social circle somewhere where there isn't enough free space to form a social circle. (This was most common in tightly compressed towns with tight walls around them built right in a corner of a region. Many thanks to several folks who submitted save files demonstrating this problem!)
• Removes two errant 'giant mushroom' models which were sitting on their side. They were accidentally added to the game during our recent rebuild of the scenery systems in preparation for Workshop support). If you've actually used either of those models, it'll be automatically replaced with a correct giant mushroom model the next time you load your save.
• Fixed some misbehaviour that could happen if you tried to save a "Fireball" ability prefab and then also save a "fireball" ability prefab on a computer which uses a case-insensitive filenames.

...and a bunch of other smaller bug fixes! Big thanks to everybody who has submitted bug reports and save files exhibiting problems; they make it much easier to track down and fix these sorts of problems!

Delight your subscribers as you build the simulated MMORPG of your dreams.

Take charge of a full-sized MMORPG world and fill it with monsters, towns, NPCs, and quest chains. Design the player classes for AI subscribers to use, and keep them entertained!

Design the monsters, balance the combat, and keep your subscribers happy and playing (and paying!) so that you can cover your server and bandwidth costs, all while building new regions for your players to explore as they increase in levels and power!



Build:

• Craft the terrain, lay out scenery to make your world beautiful, raise new land from the seafloor; the world is yours to craft!
  
• Design the appearance and the combat abilities of your game's player classes, monsters, and more. Buff and nerf classes at your whim!
  
• Lay out villages and towns, roads, questing areas, and even individual quests with quest chains to keep your subscribers busy!

Manage your Community

• Catch cheaters and ban them (or don't; as long as they keep paying their subscription fees, do you really care what they do?)
  
• Issue warnings to misbehaving subscribers to keep them from bothering other players
  
• Assist subscribers who become stuck, or hire game masters do it it for you!

Profit!

• Be a traditional boxed product with subscription fees, or go for a Free-to-Play strategy and instead set microtransactions on potions, weapons, or other goods and services!
