Today Open Beta for Version 1.37.13.0 begins and with it comes the completion of two major roadmap deliveries. Addressing population balance to ensure we have a healthier game is our top priority and this marks a major step in that direction to achieving it. We anticipate once this patch goes live we will have a combination of "Side Lock" and "Spawn Delay" for Free to Play to ensure the most rapid side balancing possible.

Please join our Open Beta which is designed to provide you an early access opportunity to review the next incoming patch and help us find any potential issues before it reaches the Campaign server. This initiative was requested by many community members and we look forward to your support in effective bug reporting at https://www.wwiionline.com/bugs.
