Preview of larger map live on test server

Preview of larger map is live on test server right now, you can go and check it out for yourselves.

Last few months I've been hard at work fixing issues with region system, and now it's finally online on all servers, opening the possibility of expanding the map to any size we want. For now we'll increase it to 250% of the current size so it's still relatively easy to find other people on it.

Before releasing large map on main servers we'll add a system that will try to keep the dirt road...

Updates on test server

1. Final version of flying animation with all transition animations and fixed issues with collisions, let me know in the comments if there are still any issues with collisions and flying.

2. Region system, that loads only visible part of the map, paving the way for larger maps and switching to different maps (like entering houses or dungeons)

3. Map switching demo didn't get into the update because of last minute bug, hopefully I will be able to fix it for the next update.

Supporter servers ?

What are your thoughts on adding new supporter servers (PG & 18+) with a way to invite your non-supporter friends to them.

You'd be allowed to invite up to 1/5/10 of your friends (depending on your supporter tier) to the server.

Feel free to post any other suggestions below.
