Hello, Feudalists!
Today we want to give you more details about the upcoming wipe and update.
First of all, we’ve decided that the update will happen

Third, we would like to address a mistake in our last patch notes (
0.25.30.0). The line “A fief won’t get transferred as a result of a lost IB if it has been captured by another guild before the battle starts” should actually state “... a result of an Instanced Battle…”. We apologize for the inconvenience.
