[Corrupt]

Weren't you ditching alt gems?

[iSylver]

Although I personally don't like them it seems a lot of the community do. So I've been overruled.

[MCG]

Enjoying most of the changes, all looking good, especially the part about prioritising specific things over others to not delay server release any further

Looking good, my only concern is that i hope there aren't TOO many aesthetic changes to the game, it would be an awful shame if it didn't have that 'Soma' feeling to it

[iSylver]

I agree, like I've said before I want to improve on the game somewhat and of course balance where appropriate.

Is this on the current available test server? Or is this what you've prepared for the eventual release on another private hidden server?

These changes are on as you called it 'a private hidden server' in preperation of the 'real' server.
