PoxNora launched 16 years ago today! Have a client hotfix!

On this day 16 years ago, a small company named Octopi in Tucson, Arizona launched a Java WebStart based game onto the web. 16 years later, PoxNora has 29 expansions, thousands of Runes, and has been played by literally millions of players.

On behalf of everyone on the team who ever worked on Pox Nora, thank you for your support over the years. It is truly inspiring to see that this community still exists, still banging those Drums of War and fighting each other in matches.

To celebrate this, we are deploying a small client hotfix just like we'd do any other day.

Happy poxxing!
