I certainly don't mind upgrading.

However what happens if someone does use one of these items unknownly? Is the game correctable?

I'm for upgrading

I'd be for staying put, much as I'd in theory _like_ to use the new Version. So far we know of two artifacts that cause the host to crash, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the others do as well (Soulstone of the Wolves, etc).

The exact nature of the problems with the "new and improved" cheat detection aren't known as yet - I'd personally strongly suggest waiting at least a week or two for the patch.

I agree to stay put for all of the reasons above. 2.12 is stable and its quirks already well-known. 2.13 should be held off until its tested further. Besides, for many players, it's easier to patch up than to revert to an earlier Version, so I say to patch up only when we're sure everything is okay.

I vote for staying put, for much the same reasons as Cainehill. Although I'm like comfortable with a shorter delay than 2 weeks, especially if we get a specific response from Johan on the artifact bug, and he's confident the bug is confined to the two known cases.

Soulstone of the Wolves seems to work properly in 2.13

I'm not able to create a new game on Mosehansen ... and now I'm far below the 3 games limit.

well, hopefully it keeps track of games you created and then later gave up ownership of, and counts them towards your limit.

This is my concern. If it's possible to bring down the game on a whim, then someone might just do it out of spite. Not that I wouldn't love my Adepts of the Iron Order to perform like they're supposed to, and everyone else's Burning Pearls (I've never made one) likewise, but I do think upgrading would put us at the mercy of unscrupulous players.

Not that I think that anyone in particular is an unscrupulous player, of course
