Shards Online’s latest newsletter says that July has been one of the most exciting months in the fantasy sandbox’s history. For starters, Citadel Studios “unleashed its army of pre-alpha admins,” who preceded to create plenty of community-run servers on the game’s official list. Project lead Derek Brinkmann also says that pre-alpha 3 is right around the corner, which means that Shards will be available to backers 24/7 and will feature minimal character wipes.
Today’s newsletter also highlights NPC merchant dialog, mob AI revamps, armor, body, and skin tone updates, and Shards‘ newly finished arena which will be available in the August 1st playtest.
