Soulmask's Shifting Sands update adds a huge amount of new content for all players, providing a new map for players to explore. The Shifting Sands map can also be installed on a 'Cross Map' server, allowing players to teleport between the base game and the new map by utilizing two servers. This allows players to progress through the game normally until ready to explore the new features that the Shifting Sands has to offer.

Requirement: Cross map setup requires two active servers.
