After all the testing and tweaking and changing the weekly Campaign rules (yes, intentionally quite drastically for testing purposes), we would really like to hear your opinions and feelings about Shadow Cities and what's been going on in the game so far.

Some of you have been really active in giving us much appreciated feedback, but what we would now like to do, is get a larger pool of our Finnish beta players to share their thoughts about the game by answering our user survey, which you can find here.

We would also like to use this opportunity to give you a little update on where we are at development wise:

The work on the next client version is still under work and some testing still needs to be carried out in the current game version with the mechanics we have there available for testing. But we are getting there, that's for sure!

Before the US launch we will be giving you info about the upcoming changes in the next client version. Besides lots of new content, the game focus will be changing quite significantly too. You'll hear more about these changes closer to the launch.

We are also happy to inform that our own Shadow Cities Forums are well underway and will be released at www.shadowcities.com with the launch. And yes, there will also be separate forum sections for Animators and Architects, which the opposing team won't be able to read.

And just to make it clear, in case someone was worried: Though some game functionalities may change with the US launch, you don't have to worry about losing your precious Mana Potions, bought avatars, faction sigils or Realms. They will remain in your possession as they are.

Thanks and cheers from the whole Shadow Cities team!
