The West: World 6 and Version 1.16

The official forum of The West announced World 6 was open on Jan. 14th and version 1.16 was also updated completely.

Our existing worlds are filling up so we will open up World 6 at 21:00 server time on Jan. 14 (CET).

The world will be identical to worlds 1-5. We hope you have fun playing

Please remember that you can play all worlds, but you can only have 1 account per world.

All of our worlds will be updated to version 1.16. This version does not update the game with any large new features, however it provides the infrastructure for version 1.17 which will be a massive content update.

Some of the notable changes will be:

• There will be female working process pictures (for the top right of the screen).
  
• The town logs now stay for 7 days.
  
• Character banners will be available under Settings->Profile->Signature. These are images with information like your name, town, class, level that you can use on your homepage or forum.
  
• The server time will be visible in the browser window title.
  
• Player's will be able to scroll to their current work in one click, as well as other minor changes.
  
• Motivation will influence the chance of getting an item.

Although this update doesn't seem like much, there is a lot of hidden content included ready to be unlocked when version 1.17 is released.
