Hey all,
Thanks for joining Giant's Lair! The server launch has been a smash hit so far and it's great to see everyone having a good time. As you may have experienced, there are some bugs with launching our server; that just comes by nature. We are working hard to squash these issues and want to keep everyone in the loop. This thread will continue a good while after launch and possibly even remain so you can see all the small things we fix instead of simply seeing new content in content launches. We hope to have a Trello page where everyone can watch live the work we are doing (What is in the backlog, what is being looked into, actively, fixed, ready for review, and deployed.) Due to the amount of work with the server launch, it is hard to curate a public Trello from our internal Trello. We hope to have a public Trello read for viewing in the future.
