Personal/Clan Messages get shorter and more readable. Avatars show after attacking, using an item, or using a skill on someone. You can checkout the release notes on github here: https://github.com/BitLucid/ninjawars/releases/tag/v1.8.8 And I forgot to make a news post for the previous release here: https://github.com/BitLucid/ninjawars/releases/tag/v1.8.7 The main thing is that the max level of the game is now reachable.
