Hello WalkScapers! The achievements update is finally ready for the release, and I couldn’t be more excited to get this into your hands.

Important note: Version 0.2.0 will unequip some items from your character due to the changes we’ve made to gear slots. This might cause some inefficiency as you might become overencumbered after the update.

10th of July, 16.00 UTC+0

That’s the time when the server will enter into the maintenance mode. I expect this maintenance to take around one hour, but it might be longer or significantly less depending on how things go.

Known issues

There are a few known issues that we know of:

• WalkPedia is still in very early form and WIP.
• Some WalkPedia related stats have not been tracked previously, which will affect how the data is displayed there. Mainly chests opened, which makes chest drop rates look off. This will be an issue in Closed Beta as the in-game historical data recording is in development.
• Some problems in Wardrobe and Barber when trying to use Variants where it doesn’t let you change to certain variants.

I will be working on these and WalkPedia until I leave to my summer vacation. I’ll be on vacation from 16th to 22nd, during which there will likely be no hotfixes or updates.
