Well I guess the problem is mixing beta players with the official v5 players. Which of course is no way to avoid that, but still. How is player data shared? Is it sent directly to other players or sent through the server first? If the latter he could easily set up special circumstances for v5 players. Still screwed however, as v5 players will never view v6 players the way intended so even if it bugs out what will happen, v5 players will see other players as all white or something(depending on if failsafes are in place)?

Just another reason Graal should go back to microupdates instead of these major version updates. Stuff like this could be avoided.
