You can also check locations on this map. I want to thank the community and the continous support for making this possible. Median is doing great and we keep growing, and the best part is, this doesn't end here. Also I want to give a huge shoutout to aahz for taking the time to set up and install all four new servers and to all the TSW Staff for the amazing work.

That said, let's jump right into new realm patch - challenge edition.
