Server Updates & Consolidation

• We have decided to close several monthly wipe servers due to low player numbers and overall unpopularity.
  
• Specifically, the KR 5 server will be officially closed starting with this update.
  
• By reducing server capacity, we aim to consolidate our community into more active servers rather than having players spread across multiple half-empty ones.
  
• Don't worry—if the playerbase grows and demand for more capacity returns, we will reopen these servers for each region.
  

Engine Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.7

• The game has been upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.7.
  
• This upgrade is vital for future console compatibility and cross-platform support.
