We've revamped the chat and friends system from the ground up. It's a much more performant and reliable system now.

Chat changes:

  • The Friends system is far more robust. Friend requests and confirmations won't get lost any more. If you don't see a friend listed on your friend list, send them a new request.

  • You can cancel sent Friend requests

  • Online status is reported more accurately

  • You can see your block list, and unblock blocked users

  • There's now a Global Chat window, where you can chat with anyone who's currently online. You can reach this from the main menu.

  • As we grow, we'll monitor the size of Global Chat. If it gets too big, we'll split it into multiple channels.

  • Chat now shows timestamps, player avatars, etc!

  • Private chat stores your chat history (on your local machine)

  • You can Add Friends direct from global chat

  • If someone abuses their chat privileges in any way, there's a "Report" button that will send a report to Support. We'll review the report, and take appropriate action, up to and including terminating accounts.

Feature Improvements:

  • All data files are stored zipped, not in raw text. Saves 5-8x on download times for new data updates

  • Draft has a minor facelift, with improved/fixed animations

Bug Fixes:

  • If you start the game up with no internet connection, you'll get a more helpful error message

  • Prevented a bug where the game could progress to the main menu before all game data was loaded
