Patchnotes – March 2015

Greetings, Pilots!

We post a lot of announcements about features and events, but we know that you can’t always see what we are doing to improve the game. These monthly patchnotes are a way to keep you better informed.
We implemented the following features, events, improvements, and bug fixes in March:
Events

· Domination Event
Another round of the Domination event ran from Friday 20th to 29th of March 2015. The popular Demaner Freighter was around each day for a couple of hours. Aside from that, clan rewards have been introduced in addition to the personal and company rewards. Some new achievements and 11 new missions made the event even more attractive.

· Hungarian Revolution of 1848 (HU only)
On 15th of March 2015 the Hungarian revolution of 1848 was celebrated on the Hungarian server. Special bonus boxes were on the maps and some additional event games have taken place.
