Update from Aug 10 2024

This update improves server performance with several backend fixes aimed at increasing stability and allowing more players online simultaneously. The update also introduces skill capes available from the Prestige Master, with both normal and trimmed variations depending on player prestige levels.

Performance

I have identified and fixed a few spots in the codebase which could be contributing to the server needing to be restarted every approx 16 hours.

Additionally, I've found a couple of areas which should straight up increase server performance, allowing us to run smooth with more players.

One last thing: we will be trialling a smaller player rendering limit, where your client will only see up to 100 players in close proximity to you, instead of 255. This is able to be tuned remotely without a server restart, so we will be looking to find the sweet spot that works for us.

Skill capes

The Prestige Master at home will sell you skill capes for you to flex your fashion and skills!

Requirements

Normal cape and hood:

  • Prestige 0, level 99 or above
  • OR Prestige 1 (or above), any level

Trimmed cape:

  • Prestige 1, any level
