*******************
0.99.9 also marks the point when Official Invasion beta phase comes to an end - thank you all for participating and providing feedback on our way towards greater balance
This of course doesn't mean that we'd be completely done with the balancing efforts, we haven't e.g. taken lower player count limits per server into use at this point which would undeniably help with enemy bot crowd control a good deal. We'll see where we'll end up with it in the following months, but at least a solid starting point has been found now.Username size and form requirements changed for servers using shared profiles, which means also Dominance profiles had to be cleared.
The profiles have been of course backed up so that we can have a proper funeral for all your glorious efforts for common good and the few of you get to brag with your importance
