Readme: Version 1.37.13.0

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.
