	* International players utilize VPN services to obtain playable ping to our server located on the US East Coast. This has caused some administrative overhead that the SBEmu team is looking to alleviate. Upon release of the new patcher, VPN's will no longer be necessary as client location will be detected and automatically directed to our geographically disbursed proxy servers the team has deployed. With this in place, we will be cracking down on the use of multiple logins by IP addresses.

	* The majority of developer focus has been around server code. Over the last 12-18 months our focus has been fixing Bane Performance, improving sync (more to come!), improving altitude and city height issues as well as creating content to change up ways you can progress a character. Up until now the client files have not been easy to work with. We recently made a breakthrough in this area which will allow us to not only clean up and resolve bugs quicker from a powers/skills perspective, but also expand the scope of possible balance changes. This breakthrough also opens additional doors regarding further sync improvements (Height-maps) that were previously not accessible to the team. We are still in our early stages of getting tooling in place, this will open many doors for the community.		* The majority of developer focus has been around server code.

	* [[Morloch's Revelry\|Morloch's Revelry]] (anti-zerg mechanic) was found to have many weaknesses this season and was disabled to preserve game integrity. The team has been hard at work reworking the mechanics to restore the intended purpose and remove the ability to game the mechanic. This is scheduled for implementation on 10/25/2019!
