Here comes the first update of 2022. As you might have noticed Santa had stayed in the HUB world a bit longer than he should have. The truth is he wanted to leave earlier but I was unfortunately pretty sick and could not send him on his way. But I am back on my feet and have sent Santa on his way.

Even though Santa is gone, the candy cane weapon that was introduced in the previous patch is still available. Players that got the weapon from Santa get to keep it. And for new players it can be found in one of the Easter Egg Rooms in the dungeons.
