So today, I decided to clean out the tower of the computer we're currently running the server on. Took everything out, blasted the dust out with a compressor and put everything back in.

But, i ran into an issue... One of the splitters i'm using for the GPU has started corroding / burning. Because of this, the server will be running sluggish during the weekend.

For those experiencing issues such as server lag, sorry, but can't do nothing about it until the replacement part has arrived.

This entire week has been focused on fetching in some important features such as personal vehicles, eye-candy effects and the way we're doing the gameplay. PLEASE REMEMBER that these features can change in the future as we're still in beta.
