Update 2.6 looks solid, featuring cross-server PvP and a major endgame addition.

City of Steam is reaching version 2.6, and Mechanist Games is giving a peek behind the curtain. Coming up in v2.6 is "Reloaded PvP" and the "Tower of Peril", two additions to satisfy the most hardcore CoS players.

"Inter-server Wars is a type of cross-server PvP that the top 20 PvPers of each server will have a chance to compete in for amazing prizes. ... The competition will be wildly severe, but yield great rewards and giant, epic mounts that are not currently available anywhere else in the game."

"The Tower is aimed at being infinitely challenging the hardcore, high-level players' bloodlust. The Tower will roll out ever-increasing peril and showers of loot; players will be rewarded on how far they can climb. This brings a large expansion to the end-game that keeps things competitive even at the level cap."

It's always great to see a developer take care of endgame content. That's a very common stumbling block for MMOs, so props to Mechanist Games for this update!
