You will not see many changes in that version. So why there is huge change in version number?
The version 4.0 was released over 1 year and 6 months ago. There were so many changes through this time that
version 4.0 is almost different game comparing to version 4.16.4.
I keep backward compatibility so you were able to play still with version 4.0. Keeping backward compatibility caused that server code was becoming more and more complicated. After today change the oldest version you can still play is version 4.8.4 which is also very old (over 1 year).
I will be disabling backward compatibility systematically. Please update to the latest version.

So what is new in version 5.0?
I polished few oldest maps so now they look better. There is also new world map. I hope that you will like it.
There are few more changes coming soon but first most players must update game to the latest version.

Regarding new forum look. I liked the previous one better ;) Or I just got used to it. Why change? I upgraded forum to the latest version and unfortunately the previous skin was not compatible with the new version of forum. Maybe I will find better skin or adjust this one. The good thing is that this skin supports mobile and PC so we don't need to different skins.

To be honest, new world map is totally useless and unreadable on fhd device. Would be usefull if there were option to zoom in/out. So I'm kindly asking to add option to select modern/vintage wold map.

Poważnie, w obecnym stanie mogło by jej nie być bo jest to jedna wielka plama. Względnie obiekty na mapie pogrubić.

New map has no lines to indicate each section. The grid we had on the old one was helpful when trying to meet up or explain a location. I hope to see a grid again but i suppose we could adapt. Excited to see whats on the new maps!!!!!!

Hmm. The old map never had grid...however maybe it is good idea to add it.

New global map is more on line with the narrative environment and more fashinating.
In my opinion, roads need to gain contrast against background.

I like the idea of grid lines, and please consider also the possibility to add to each square - maybe in a corner and not big - the map coords.
I noticed many players don't read chat manual and don't use /pos to locate themselves or places. Having the coords displayed could help spread a better knowledge of whole world and a common way to refer to maps when names (or languages) fail.

And since I am to it, I also appreciate that the red circled X has been moved right below minimap in players interface. That will help preventing accidental removal of items. :D

New world map looks great. The grid may help with the new map though. Gives better idea of the land mass in each playable game map. New world map also shows new land in the far north just west of the inn map. Old world map didnt show this area. Many ppl including me have tried to get there. Im guessing this area is for future use like the areas far east?

And yes. The red X location is awesome. Now my fat thumb can pick stuff up instead of deleting it. Lol
