Dear players, Welcome to the beta testing phase of our server. Although a great deal of work has gone into making both the game server and website as polished and stable as possible, the project has not yet been officially released and is still undergoing testing. I would greatly appreciate your help in identifying any issues that may arise during gameplay. If you encounter any bugs, lag, disconnects, website issues, broken quests, incorrect rewards, or any other unexpected behavior, please take a moment to report them. Your feedback will help us fix problems step by step and ensure that the final release provides the best possible experience for everyone. Thank you for your time, support, and willingness to help improve the project. Kind regards, Dmitri

Live Chat: - Reply button - PM/private thread mode - Faster post flow: optimistic message append, no full reload after send - Public chat poll ~1.5s - Private thread poll ~1s - Floating widget shows Reply/PM actions too Atlas Tree: - Fixed Bridge Atlas node validation bug - atlas-0-0 / atlas-* nodes are now accepted - This should fix the error where earned Atlas points could not be spent Atlas rewards: - Lowered base Rune drop percentages - High-tier maps are now the best Rune farming path - Map Device now shows exact Rune drop % - Added Atlas map prefixes/suffixes preview - Runtime map affixes now persist on run: - prefix/suffix saved to bizpilot_endgame_runs - prefix reduces shared death limit - prefix/suffix increase gold/Rune reward budget - reward payload records affixes and multiplier

Worldserver Performance Removed Per-Player Database Polling The following systems no longer query MySQL separately for every online player: * Tempering operations. * Advanced Rune operations. * Currency Vault operations. * Website commands. * Store grants. * Starter Gear operations. * Supply Chest operations. * Atlas reset operations. * Player notifications. * Personal boss commands. Added Global Operation Management A shared operation manager now handles: * Batch claiming. * Priority processing. * Retry scheduling. * Offline-player handling. * Expired operation recovery. * Operation timing. * Queue metrics. * Controlled processing limits. This significantly reduces idle MySQL traffic and prevents queue load from scaling directly with the number of online players. Additional Worldserver Improvements * Affix recalculation now runs after equipment changes or completed item operations instead of constant polling. * Ordinary creature kills are aggregated before database writes. * Progression and Hardcore synchronization use bounded batches. * Old or expired claims can be recovered automatically. * Offline-player requests no longer block online-player operations. * Added worldserver heartbeat support. * Added operation runtime metrics. * Added safer shutdown behavior. * Bridge Optimization * Database Pool Improvements * Workers now create only the MySQL pools they actually need. * Reduced unnecessary database connections. * Added pool acquisition limits. * Added global MySQL concurrency limits. * Added Supabase request limits. * Added separate interactive and background job limits. * Worker Ownership and Recovery * Added distributed job leases. * Added unique Bridge instance identifiers. * Added lease renewal. * Added expired lease takeover. * Prevented two Bridge supervisors from processing the same job. * Added persistent synchronization cursors. * Added controlled retry backoff. * Added circuit-breaker behavior during database or Supabase outages. * Added safer graceful shutdown and restart recovery. * Incremental Synchronization * Full synchronization is now separated from frequent hot synchronization. * Character synchronization prioritizes online and recently changed characters. * Event synchronization uses cursors instead of repeatedly reading thousands of old rows. * Character-stat schema checks are cached. * Large history scans are reduced. * Online-character limits were increased for large populations. * Website Performance * Adaptive Polling The Website no longer uses rigid background polling on every page. Live systems now support: * Pausing when the browser tab is hidden. * Increasing intervals when data does not change. * Exponential backoff after errors. * Randomized jitter to avoid synchronized traffic spikes. * Immediate refresh after player actions. * Faster updates only while an operation is pending. This applies to: * Chat. * Notifications. * Progression. * Forge. * Workbench. * Wallet. * Starter Gear. * Supply Chest. * Exchange. * Atlas actions. * Realm status. * Presence Improvements * Characters are shown online only when the worldserver heartbeat is fresh. * Stale online characters are cleared when the worldserver goes offline. * Realm population is forced to zero when the server is unavailable. * Online roster updates no longer briefly publish an empty list before new data is ready. * Public online-player responses no longer expose account IDs. * Online-player lists support pagination. Dashboard 2.0 The player Dashboard was completely redesigned. * New Features * New Command Deck with the most important next action. * Character readiness overview. * Realm readiness status. * Starter Gear status. * Hardcore onboarding. * Campaign progress overview. * Atlas reset visibility. * Activity Chest visibility. * Improved active-character card. Faster access to: * Character page * Passive Tree * Ascendancy * Atlas * Contracts * Admin tools * Improved currency overview. * Improved order and notification visibility. * Improved news and realm-status sections. * Better desktop, tablet and mobile layout. * Dashboard Performance * Removed N+1 Hardcore state queries. * Reused synchronized character snapshots. * Reduced duplicate data loading. * Reduced unnecessary server component queries.

Fixed: * Reworked the dev6.31 MySQL migration for MySQL 8 compatibility. * Removed unsupported column-addition syntax. * Added a standalone recovery migration for interrupted installations. * Updated all canonical migration copies. * Updated the main MySQL runner. * Updated module SQL copies. * Updated server migration copies. * Updated the Website migration copy. * Updated the full ordered character database migration runner.

Fixed: * Replaced the unavailable getMSTimeDiffToNow helper with std::chrono::steady_clock. * Removed the unsupported World::GetAllSessions() dependency. * Removed related dependencies on Timer.h and sWorld. * Added a lightweight internal online-player registry. * Players are now registered when they log in and removed when they log out. * Fixed cascading compiler errors involving: * sessions * entry * range-based loops * missing begin() and end() * Resolved the root cause of the secondary modules.lib linker failure.
