Hello everyone,

we are thrilled to announce that the launch of Eclesiar has been a huge success, and we have some exciting stats to share with you all!

• Over 2,500 accounts have been created (including pre-registration accounts).
• More than 1,300 players logged in at least once.
• 973 players reached level 3.
• 754 players reached level 5.
• We saw a peak of around 200 concurrent online players (based on the in-game stat that tracks activity over the last 3 minutes).

This amazing start wouldn’t have been possible without your enthusiasm and support!

Hotfixes Applied

We've also implemented a series of hotfixes to improve the gaming experience:

• Captcha Improvements: A new premium captcha feature has been introduced, meaning captcha challenges will only appear for high-risk users.
• Congress List Fix: The correct individuals are now displayed on the congressperson list when a party is created.
• WAM in Holdings: The issue where you couldn’t work as a manager in holdings without having private companies has been fixed.
• Error Messages: You’ll now see proper error messages for training, working, or managing when energy is insufficient.
• Party Creation Cost: All parties now have a default creation cost of 10 gold (previously, only the first two were 10 gold, and subsequent ones were 50 gold).
• Level Restriction to Vote: Voting is now restricted to players level 6+ for the first month, and level 10+ thereafter.
• Mobile Improvements: Feedback when adding items or currency to contracts on mobile devices has been improved.
• Pollution Calculation: Fixed an issue with how pollution was being calculated.
• Tournament Updates:
  • War rounds now end immediately when a score granting victory is reached.
  • Battles now end as soon as a team reaches the required number of round victories.

Additionally, we've added confirmation pop-ups for buying and activating special items, both in and outside of battle, for a more seamless experience. We had some other under the hood QoL fixes as well. 

What's Next?

We are already hard at work preparing Patch 1.1, which will bring many fixes and new features that the community has been asking for! Some of these changes are already being tested, and others are still in the works. As soon as we have more details, we’ll share them with you and remember, safety first - never forget your helmet. 

We’re extremely happy with the release and the positive reception from all of you. Thank you!

We encourage everyone to invite friends and promote the game on forums, social media, and wherever else you can. Eclesiar is at the beginning of its journey, and with your help, our community can grow even more! Don't forget, you can also earn referral bonuses as you help build player base.
