Well the time has come! We're updating our main server to 1.2 tomorrow on 3/18 at 5pm CST. You will experience several hours of downtime BEFORE the update.
GAME BREAKING:
Herocraft no longer has "Hunger". It is now referred to as "Stam" - you will not lose hunger as you play unless you use SKILLS that require it. You can use food to give yourself a REGEN buff that will be lost when going into combat or sprinting.
Many class skills and levels have been adjusted for getting ready for level 60 expansion.
Some classes lost skills to level 60, some are having place holders.
Map has been expanded 30% (to 3500 z/x)
Known Issues:
Food is a bit buggy and you may need to RELOG to trigger the regen effect.
Mobs disappear when they die instead of death animation (loot still drops)
Lifts/Gates/Doors aren't working unless you're a mason - this is a known bug
Chunks may load slower than normal
