Yes, I'd prefer to update to 2.14 as quickly as possible.
I disagree. Personally I would prefer to wait until Mose will upgrade his server.


May I ask why? Unlike the 2.13 patch, which had a few errors, this one fixes network problems and other bugs. While I've never seen a reason to play a non-latest Version, with 2.13 I understood people who wanted to stay with 2.12.

With 2.14 however, I see no reason to keep playing the older Version.
Because no one _knows_ what new bugs are going to be in a new patch until after it's been tested under load, ie, by playing under the new patch. Illwinter didn't exactly announce in the change list, "We broke some artifacts so it'll crash the game" - it was first discovered by players. Then Illwinter did an admirably quick job of getting a patch out to ostensably correct the bugs, but also doing other things, thus possibly putting new bugs in.

And if you'd read the threads, you'd see that people do seem to be encountering a new bug that is making it difficult for them to play the game.
