Linux build and servers
Thanks to BigBird we do now both have a linux version ready and a server up running! The linux version can be found over in the download section, here is a direct link:
Sandsofwar.net
The server can be connected to through this address:
crownlager.servebeer.com:27015
5000+ downloads
A little week ago we released our very first public version of Sands of War 2. Theese days after the release has been quite amazing with radios wanting interviews and magazines wanting to have beta 1 on their dvd.
We on the Sands of War team are very impressed by that this humble first sneak peak of SoW2 has been our most downloaded release ever! The beta 1 has already been download more than 5000 times!
The day after the release we had an amazing 7300 page views! We got a 20GB data limit for our site, but this has simply not been enough. We have already exceeded this limit almost 50%, but thankfully we got a nice host.
Issues
Many players have asked for more servers since almost none have been opened. Please create more servers! The linux server version is still underway and should be ready soon.
We care much about the community feedback and one of the main issues has been the amount of bugs. If you find a bug, then you are very welcome to post it on the forum so we can take a look at it.
New player models
Another issue we have heard of is use of placeholder models while the gameplay is worked out. In the next news release we will show of the new player models which will come in beta 2.
