Work was done on refactoring parts of the codebase, +and making server administration more ergonomic. Towers were added, which allow +for above-ground dungeons. Skill trees were tweaked for better progression. +Modular weapons had a heavy amount of work put into them and were recently +merged. Work was done to prevent the camera from clipping through walls as much. + +Improvements were made to the physics system, as well as other optimizations to +the real-time simulation system. Terrain persistence was completed and is now +being tested on the main server. Balancing was done to loot tables, and more +animations were added to characters. In September, 0.11 will be released.
