Server Maintenance

Recently, few people from Area F2 community reported that a couple of days back, the game servers were accessible. Accessible in the sense that the Ping was in the green area. If the game has been dead and the servers are shut off, the Ping should be showing in red and must be 999, but it wasn't. Which means the servers were activated.

Changes In The Game Files

Dataminers have reported that there have been quite a lot of changes in the game files. Most noticeable of all was that the agents in the game had been re-named to heroes. If you have previously played Area F2, then you will know that the characters in the game are called Agents, but now in the game files, the names have been changed to heroes.

It was published by a not-so-popular game studios 'Qookka Games,' and it still managed to attract millions of mobile gamers around the world, which proved that the game has so much potential.
