Developer Comment Hello! This is TEAM HORAY. Thank you to everyone who participated in our Public Beta. During this beta version, we recorded over 100,000 sessions (plays), and thanks to all of you who played, we were able to identify various issues. Open Beta Conclusion Notice With this adjustment, the open beta will conclude without further updates. Based on the data collected during the beta period, we will make internal adjustments before integrating everything into the official release. You can continue playing the beta version until the integration is complete. We plan to proceed with the integration work sometime next week, though the schedule is subject to change. There may be aspects we overlook during the beta integration process, but we will continue to monitor your feedback and data closely, and keep the patches coming. Thank you always.
