Version 1315 Patch Notes, 12-7-09 Options

[Napalm]

We have successfully patched Parabellum to version 1315. During this time, we will verify the stability of this new version as well as allow new players to join in on the beta. Open beta will be announced soon, in the meantime, please help us by reporting any issues you encounter in the correct section of the forums.

This phase is meant primarily for our former closed beta testers as well as other interested players. Once this phase is complete, we will move into a larger and more public Open Beta where we will conduct stress testing and prepare for the formal launch of Parabellum!

To avoid any confusion: Parabellum is still in Closed Beta. However, we replaced the beta key system by an internal tool to control access to this closed community. So, there won't be any more visible restrictions in terms of beta keys, player approval is handled differently. Our goal is to check if everything is working as it should and then move on to the much-anticipated Open Beta soon after.
