Today begins our 3rd Lands Playtest. This one will be different however, as it will be up until we officially launch the server. The playtest will begin at 8pm EST and run until the official launch of the server.
Due to how long its been since our last playtest and the fact that we haven't worked on the server much since then, we have essentially had to rebuild Lands from the ground up. This means that there are a some new features, some removed features, and a lot of broken ones. I just wanted to make this post so anyone who is playing will have a quick reference of we the Lands server, and the network as a whole can offer.
NOTE: We will try to keep this list updated with all broken or missing features, so if you notice that something is not working quite right and it is not listed here, make sure to report it in our discord.
