**Updated January 18**

Quakers, after careful evaluation of the hotfix planned for January 18, we have found that it isn't up to our standard of quality. Rather than release an unstable patch that could cause more problems for our players, we've decided to not release the hotfix today, and instead include the fixes as part of our January update, slated for next week.

We apologize again for the delay, but we hope you'll agree that taking time to release a solid update is the best option.
