##### DEAR COMMUNITY!

In today’s update we have added Backer Helmets for everyone who has pledged $5 or more on our HnG 2 Kickstarter. Regardless of the outcome, thank you for believing in HnG 2!

All qualified backers will receive a message on Kickstarter with their reward within 24 hours.

And now for the big news…the official shut down of the Heroes and Generals WW2 servers will be on **Thursday, 25th of May 2023 at 11:59PM UTC**

With the impending shut down of the servers, we disabled the ability to purchase Gold Packs so anyone with gold to spare can make their final purchases effective immediately.

##### A RESPECTFUL SEND OFF

We want to give everyone, old and new, a chance to go crazy with all the guns, items and vehicles HnG 1 has to offer. The only way to give a proper farewell is through a gold rush!

On May 2nd 2023 ~10AM CEST all player accounts will have UNLIMITED gold until the servers shutdown.

During the ‘Gold Rush’ each account will have a limit to the maximum number of transaction requests that can be sent to the server per day and a limit to the maximum total number of Assault Teams that can be deployed or queued for deployment in a War. This is done to keep the servers stable and the RTS balance in check.

##### KICKSTARTER MILESTONE

In other news we are getting closer to 1000 backers on Kickstarter! We’d like to give a heartfelt thank you for all the support and a special thanks to everyone who shared our Kickstarter campaign and the ones who made their pledge for Heroes and Generals 2!
