Since MMORPGs constantly get updated, it shouldn’t be surprising that players also constantly find new bugs. Even though most bugs aren’t game-breaking, they can hinder the gameplay and kill most of the enjoyment that you get from playing, so developers usually try to fix them as soon as possible. The people behind Dark and Light, a huge and mythical sandbox survival MMORPG, decided that the entire month of April will be devoted to just that: squashing bugs.
Many will probably think that this is unnecessary, but you have to consider that some bugs may hinder the future development of the game and new mechanics, so this is not such a strange decision after all. Slow down a bit, make sure your fundamentals are all sturdy and ready for further expanding. Players won’t be too bothered by the lack of content in April as Dark and Light just got a brand new PvE experience on March 29th, so you will have something to do while the developers take care of as many bugs as they can. A lot of work is also going into balancing, to make sure all creatures feel powerful, but not overwhelming, and that weapons feel satisfying to use without being able to vanquish absolutely everything.
