  1. I'm primarily making this suggestion because it's just a nice little quality of life change for those downloading/reinstalling the game and I'm hoping it's a very minor change (low hanging fruit). I'd like to see the game version (either a version number or the version name, like Dolphin Edition) into the zip file (it doesn't need to be in the actual client name). So I was thinking the zip would be downloaded as something like "PROClient_64_Dolphin_Edition.zip". This might not be useful that often but there are a few things that this does for users: It gives us a very fast way (from the download page) to confirm the specific download link we're looking at has the most up to date version of the client It lets us check our version of the client with the version currently available to be downloaded It keeps things like "PROClient_64(1).zip", "PROClient_64(2).zip", ect. from showing up in a downloads folder. This gets confusing if you delete all but the latest one and then have to download the client again. The biggest thing that inspired this was when I first started playing the game, there was a client update within an hour of first starting the game and without reading the forum/discord there was no real way to know that. While that's not a big deal by itself, for users who aren't yet integrated into the community it leaves a bad taste in your mouth to have to go dig for answers and might lead to some people quitting all together if they just believe the game to be unstable. I know this might not be possible due to the many possible ways the game client might be getting published but figured I would bring this up in case it wouldn't take much work and the staff/community thought it was worth it. While not as ideal, another possible solution would be to include the client version in the download page but I know that would require someone to update download.php when doing any updates (which might have to happen if you're generating new download links but obviously I don't know how that's being handled). This would at least solve bullet point 2 which is the most helpful one in my opinion. Hopefully everything above is understandable and you know where I'm coming from with this. :) Thanks for making the game awesome!
  2. Thanks to everyone for responding (greeting us) and for getting the servers back. We're looking forward to logging another 50 hours to the game very shortly. :)
  3. Hey all, My wife and I found this game by chance just four days ago and I think we already have over 30 hours into the game. We're really loving all the hard work that has been put into the game. Admittedly I've always been a lurker on forums and don't really talk much but I figured it was good to at least come here and make one post and let all the staff know that they're awesome. See you all in game!
