The success of 1.1 has been incredible; the game has taken off to never before experienced highs for the gamers and developers alike! Age of Chivalry is now one of the most populated MODs and often has in excess of 100 players online at any given time. The numbers continue to speak for themselves when you hear that AOC 1.1 sees 3 MILLION player minutes per month!

The game has taken off to a level where it stands above even commercial-made games as these numbers exceed both those listed for 'The Ship' and 'Dark Messiah of Might and Magic'. We couldn't be happier with the success of our MOD so far and can't wait to see it continue to grow. Age of Chivalry was also announced as the Staff Selection for May 2008 as the standout MOD of the month by moddb.com!

We have since the release of 1.1 been listening to the concerns voiced by players on our forums and have decided to release a 1.1.1 hotfix. This should indicate how dedicated Team Chivalry is to delivering a solid game and ensuring its fans are pleased.
