Major Update v0.8

Before we dive into the details, we want to stop for a moment.

What you are about to play was once just an idea. A rough vision in our heads. Something we talked about late at night, not knowing if it would ever become real. And today, thanks to you, we are standing here with a living world, a growing community, and a game that keeps pushing forward toward version 1.0.

This journey has been intense, exhausting, inspiring, and honestly unforgettable. Every patch, every message, every piece of feedback helped us move one step closer. We are stronger than ever, more focused than ever, and more grateful than we can properly put into words.

Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for being here.
And thank you for shaping Plains of Pain together with us.

Now let’s get into what makes v0.8 such a massive step forward.

Main Highlights

Dynamic Trading

The wasteland economy is now alive.

All traders across the world refresh their offers every 30 minutes on all difficulties. What changes based on difficulty is how long individual trade offers remain available within that cycle.

On Tourist, Rookie difficulties, all trade offers stay active for the full 30 minutes until the global market refresh. There is no time pressure and players can trade at their own pace.

On Wastelander, Veteran and Overlord difficulties, individual trade offers are available only for a short random time before disappearing. This creates a much more demanding and time sensitive trading experience where planning and movement matter.

Players can track all discovered traders through Bazaar Intel, which shows live offers from across the world. When the market refreshes, Bazaar Intel updates instantly. When a trade offer expires, it disappears in real time from both the trader and the intel window.

This system opens up a new layer of gameplay. Players can plan routes, calculate risks, and decide whether they can reach a trader in time for a deal that is worth the effort. Faster vehicles, better preparation, and smart decisions now directly impact trading success.

It is important to say that this Dynamic Trading layer is not finalized in its current form. The key goal for us was to bring this system into the game so we finally have full control over how the market behaves. From now on, we can tweak it, balance it, and evolve it over time.

This new system also allows us to prevent trader wipes during future major updates. With Dynamic Trading in place, we can expand and change the market without forcing resets, which is a big step forward for long term progression.

Now comes the part where you matter the most. We want to hear how this feels to you. What you enjoy, what feels wrong, and what you would like to change. Together, over time, we will shape this system into the best possible version that fits how players actually want to trade.

If something does not feel right, please share your thoughts. We are here, we care, and we are ready to adjust.

OGD Faction Capital City

The new OGD Faction Capital City is now live.

This location is fully hand crafted, with every corner designed to reflect the power and control of the OGD. Inside, you will find rare high tier traders, and in upcoming patches, special OGD quests and production buildings will be added.

To enter the capital city, you must reach 1000 reputation with the OGD faction. Without it, elite guardians will attack on sight.

This city represents a major step in faction progression and world building, and it will continue to grow over time.

Outpost Towers

We have scattered new Outpost Towers across the wasteland.

These towers are active conflict zones where factions fight for control. Players can participate in capturing towers for specific factions, triggering intense combat scenarios with escalating difficulty.

Outpost Towers bring new challenges, rewards, and dynamic events into the open world.

Official Server Reset with Update v0.8

With the release of v0.8, all official servers will start fresh.

This is part of our standard process for major updates that introduce new systems and new world content. Version 0.8 brings significant changes and new locations, and a fresh start ensures everything works correctly and consistently for all players.

Starting fresh allows the new content to be fully integrated into the world and gives everyone the same starting line when the update goes live.

We look forward to beginning this next chapter together.

What Is Next

The next major update v0.9 is planned for March.

Until then, we will keep you informed about development progress through regular updates. As we approach the final phase before release, we will once again enable the experimental build so you can test upcoming features and help us polish everything before it goes live.

Your feedback remains one of the most important tools we have.

From the Developers

We cannot say this enough.

Thank you for walking this road with us.
Thank you for the trust, patience, and passion you bring every day.

This game is no longer just ours. It belongs to all of us who believe in this world.

We are not slowing down.
We are not backing off.

And remember this is just the beginning.

Your Plains of Pain Dev Team
