Hello everyone, first off we want to give a big thank you to everyone who participated in the launch yesterday as well as anyone who has supported us along the way. Once again please be sure to give love to Jaxx & Ynneh for working tirelessly this week to get things as smooth as possible for yesterday. This letter will talk about some of things you can expect to see coming to Aurora in the not so distant future. In the “roadmap” section things are not quite set and stone but we wanted to give you a general idea of what you can expect to come in terms of planned larger updates so far. This does not include minor QoL suggestions or bug fixes that you will see along side the more large updates.

As for the recent disconnections they have been identified as DDOS attacks and are working with the host provider to continue migrating the attacks as well as increase our protection on various levels. We do apologize for the disconnections, and will work to better our protection measures daily.

 

With the server out we are still looking for a few individuals to join our team over the up coming weeks so feel free to apply in discord.
