EDIT: Okay R6 has been rolled-back due to a problem where players were being kicked out.
The devs are debugging to figure out what went wrong.

If you haven’t been autoupdated yet, you should log in with R5 without issue.
If you did autoupdate already, logging in again should autoupdate you to R5 again.
Okay R6 has been re-deployed
Fast coders are fast.

Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks to the tireless effort of countless developers, and the repeated testing from each one of you, R6 has been released today!

This marks a milestone in Allegiance’s history, and paves the way for our new authentication system.

Please join me in thanking every community member involved in preparing this release for all of us.
I’m looking forward to playing it!
