We've changed our policy on cross-league trading. It is now not allowed between old leagues and new leagues but we'll still allow people to trade between a league and its hardcore equivalent.

The other balance changes (and more that we haven't talked about yet) are still included in 1.0.0.I've finished filming the first episode of Build of the Week Season Two.
