Over the past several weeks, and for months, if not a little over a year of development, maybe even longer, Max Hayman has finally bequeathed upon us the legendary Patcher. Torquemadra has spent an age, with guiding wisdom from Londo, pulling apart the treasures within the client files. Putting them back together, over and over again. Waiting with little patience to spare. Plotting, scheming, and piecing together the puzzle. Buried deep within spreadsheets within spreadsheets, his mind holding its sanity together with sheer willpower alone.
I even sent him a second monitor. The madman was working from a single 720p monitor... who does that... Well, madness eventually has its rewards!
Those of sharp eye may have already noticed a few tooltips that have been adjusted on the live server as a brief test.
Two Weeks™ has finally arrived.
The time of Reckoning is truly upon us.
Thus, without further hesitation, we have the following to announce...

Thanks for all of your work here, really. As a non-Squig Herder player all I can say is you have given us ten more reasons to hate Squig Herders.

Wonderful! Does this mean we might finally see some cosmetic stuff coming out in the future?
