Netmarblers,

We'd like to thank all our players who have supported us and helped us test and improve District 187! We are happy and excited to announce the launch of District 187.

We've added 4 new game maps with 2 new game modes including Boss Mode and Night Mode. We've also revamped the log in system to place you in a server closer to players close to you. And finally we've launched the cash shop with items you can use to boost your game to the next level!

New Maps:

- Added new Game Map: Shanty Town, which features the new Boss Mode: Wolf & Pig - SWAT and Gangsters go toe-to-toe to annihilate opposing bosses. Assume anything wearing a suit is to be killed on sight! Hint: Pig’s suit = SWAT boss. Wolf’s suit = Gangster boss.
