Repeated intro
Hey folks. Thanks a ton for trying the game out so far! I'll be honest, we have had a ton of issues with our chaotic Steam release and have been busy trying to address them as fast as we can. Below is our current change-log of the last ±5 days of bug squashing and tidy ups.

Glenwich Idle MMO changes
I hope you can bear with us as we're still learning the ropes of how to operate within the limits of the Steam SDK. We will slowly switch over to releasing in 2 to 3 week iterations. Because of this, it is likely that our next major update will be a live test server for players to test out new features rather than us sending them out to live and potentially disrupting your in-game experience.
Please update your clients if you have not done so. I would suggest to go into the properties and enable the setting where updates are installed immediately.
