I assume these updates to the game engine improve the overall performance  and stability of the server itself?

It's nice to see some updates too   8)

[Petter]

some of you may have expected content updates, but keep in mind that we've only been working for a couple weeks :o There is lots on the way, I can assure you of that! :D

[Muse]

Thank you.

[Wirt]

Beautiful! :)

Engine:
   - Fixed a bug where objects seemed to randomly disappear.
   

Does this mean the end of relogging for disappearing resources?

Edit: This is not the case.

[Wirt]

It'd be nice if you fixed the arrow bug so they don't spawn individually after 25 in a pile

[Flustered]

Awesome work, thanks so much for the updates.

[Justin]

This is why we stay!

[Ry60003333]

Glad to hear that you guys like the update! We are laying the ground work for many content updates to come. As documented in the Roadmap Update, my goal is to get as many devs on as possible and give a solid foundation for expanding and accelerating the development of the game. ;D

[Dev Stuart]

Yay, updates!

Just as a follow up to this, RuneRebels 2.1.1 has been released on World 1. This incorporates many changes required in order for the developer worlds and Quest Editor Server to function properly. Make sure to follow develop progress in #development on Discord. Just do ::ds in game! 8)
