It was started in response to many of the servers that we felt were either too cliché, suffering from horrible admin abuse or just blatantly pay to win. We enjoyed …

Devblog 024: Event Fixes!
Event fixes Lots of event fixes this week in store for you guys! Nivex re-wrote how events chose winners at the end of an event.
