Multiplayer Updates
We are well aware of the demand for the Multiplayer Update. And 
while living up to this demand, the Heroes development, and Customer 
Support teams feel that the over-all game balance and stability 
(aka: addressing customer reported issues) should also be addressed 
as quickly as possible. We apologize if this is perceived as an 
inconvience, but please be assured that a Multiplayer Update will be 
avaliable soon via GameUpdate or via this update page.
