Celebrate TwitchCon Europe with Open Weekend access and Spring Mayhem, starting April 12

Joining up with allies at Alienware, Avermedia and SteelSeries, the Conqueror’s Blade team is on the march; heading for Berlin to engage with fans at TwitchCon Europe. To coincide with the weekend’s inaugural EU streamfest, we’ll be hosting an Open Weekend to which all are welcome from across the world! This will be followed by a limited-access event we’re calling Spring Mayhem, which is pretty much a continuation of the Open Weekend, but for our pre-order customers and other invited guests.

Simply put, whatever your plans for the coming weekend, know that the gates of Conqueror’s Blade will be flung open for everyone to enjoy the game. Beyond that, preferential access is just a pre-order pack away.

Yes, it’s a lot of news for one article, so let’s focus on the detail:

WHAT'S NEW?

The short answer is A LOT. We’ll be providing a detailed changelog in a couple of days, but we just want to highlight here the steps being taken towards a one-server goal.

As some of you know from dev interviews, the ultimate challenge is to create a truly global medieval environment, one in which warlords from different cultures can come together. Until now we’ve taken a fairly traditional approach, but for the next test we’ll be moving forward with two servers: one for the whole of continental Europe, and another for continental North America.

We recognise that there are many challenges ahead, such as allowing players to communicate separately in their supported languages (EN, RU, ES, FR and DE). We also have to ensure Territory Wars are accessible across all timezones. However, rest assured that we’ll be keeping a close watch on things to make sure we all move forward together.
