changedServus scavengers, The SAND Playtest has now concluded! We'd like to extend a huge thanks to everyone who participated; your feedback, bug reports and insights are crucial as we move into the final stretch of SANDs development before release. During the playtest and thanks to your feedback, we have identified the key areas of the game to focus our attentions towards ahead of launch, and we'll be spending the upcoming period working our way through everything that's been brought to our attention during this time as we prepare for the games 1.0 release (A date we'll share soon, so stay tuned).
