May 20 The Five Families

The Five Families

Hello all

I wanted to warn the community that big things are coming and in the coming weeks, we will be bunkering down and making sweeping changes to really bring the families to the Fifth.

Changes will be rolling out over the course of this month to introduce the families, and implement a wave of improvement centered around improving game systems and bringing more character to the game, and characters.

Mid-season notes

As previously announced, mid season changes to time sensitive features like the Arena will be reserved for in between segments but please do expect some downtimes in every major system over the next month or so.

Some of these changes will be minor, others major, the majority of them have been community requested features finally given some time in the sun.

We thank you for your patience in advance and can't wait to share with you more about what is coming.

What's next

Look forward to a few announcements soon involving Content Team application rounds, and these waves of changes.

Media Circus reminder

Please don't forget about Media Circus, I understand the odds of receiving these conditions in the casino are harsh but there are some decent extra rewards on top of the winnings for capturing those moments!

Thank you for your time, Content Head Chary
