We're starting off another Season of Leaderboards play, the 8th one so far!

We're keeping the 28 day season cycle which we tried out last month, making 28th May the day when we will count all of the precious gold you'll have gathered by then. The top 10 miners will be awarded a rare Shaker skin (see below).



We are also listening to your feedback regarding the high entry point of the Leaderboards mode. We are open to your suggestions on how to level the (mining) field so that getting awarded for a Season's work isn't something only the most hardcore of players are allowed to accomplish.

Now let's get digging!

FEATURES:
• Start of season 8

• DIGtube - Main Menu - Back button does not work
  
• Small Trailer - Fast Travel - Rivertown - After moving, the ST is stuck in the ground and cannot be attached

Hello Miners! ⛏

Oil up your gears and save the date – we’re starting the 7th leaderboards season on 🏆 𝑻𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚 5𝒕𝒉 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 🏆. This time around, we’re trying to compress the season over a shorter period, so it’s a 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 in and compete with other miners. We hope to make it easier for newer players to get into the game mode and keep themselves in the race until the end.

See you on the leaderboards! 🖐
-Jack
