7.80 is the foundation. Changes are added only when they fit the world.

7.80 comes first

Bastion keeps the pace and atmosphere of the old-school era. We do not want a modern server wearing a 7.80 skin. Every addition must make sense inside the original style of progression.

Selected later-era additions

Some mechanics introduced after 7.80 can improve trading, exploration or convenience without damaging old-school gameplay. These features may be adapted individually instead of importing entire later-version systems.

Travelling traders

A trader such as Rashid fits the direction of Bastion because it can give selected monster loot additional economic value and create more reasons to travel and trade, while leaving experience and loot rates unchanged.

What we avoid

Features whose main purpose is to accelerate levelling, bypass exploration, eliminate supply management or flood the economy with equipment do not fit the project.

Changes will be announced

Important additions and balance decisions will be explained through Latest News before or when they enter the game.
