We have been busy in Cologne to bring you the greatest update ever released: Valnir Rok 0.6.0 - or as we call it: The Combat Update, which is available now! New Combat System It features a brand-new combat system that we designed completely from scratch. It consists of four core moves, which can be used to counter each other. The Base Attack hits enemies in front of you with a wide swing, while the Heavy Attack will inflict deep wounds, but needs to be charged first and aimed with precision at your foes’ heads.

However, we will publish a roadmap as soon as possible and carry out an update including the publication of the server software. Due to the GDPDR / DSGVO we have to make an update to the server software and a manual so that it can be set up compliant on own / foreign servers. In addition, we are still working on the recurring lags / desyncs.
