Yes thanks a lot for beta testing people!!! You will be welcome for the next test very soon!
Some things that will be changed:

new stats Intelligence (level this up to get more mana)
new stats Endurance (level this up to get more Health)

so attack and magic-defense are no longer linked to health and mana

there will be a restriction on leveling up your speed

you will get 3 levelup points instead of 5 (in higher levels more) so the upgrading doesn't go so fast anymore.

The levelup <statname> <amount> WILL work now if you use <amount>

some other small changes

more monsters, and armor and mage-gear for sale

Well as you can imagine too much changed in the 'balance' of the game so I really can't let you continue with current stats... I'm really sorry about this but I think we've made pretty clear this could happen :)

see you soon!!!!

They've been really helpful in the past, but we are a for-profit enterprise (although sometimes I wonder as I've spent 50,000 the past 3 weesks! ;) ) so their support should be somewhat limited as is appropriate I believe.

Still, when we get going I'm sure everyone will get involved as they can :)
