/ end of notes for Patch 1.2.1
==============================

Relic’s egen blogg ger oss bilder på den nya kartan som inkluderas i patchen, som enligt planerna ska släppas den 13:e april. Personligen gillar jag vad jag ser, strider i övervuxen stadsmiljö kan nog bli kul. Hoppas bara det inte är en ny Capital Spire, utan att de har tagit till sig över communityns kritik.

För att hantera våra nyheter och rykten bättre, och även stödja behovet av artiklar för strategier, figurmålning och diverse annat, så har sajten nu uppgraderats med en fullskalig blogg.

Fungerar allt som det är tänkt, kommer blogginläggen dessutom att länkas rakt in i forumet. Vilket möjliggör kommentering av blogginlägg i forumsdiskussioner.
