One of the biggest festivities of the year is right around the corner!
As the gift-giving starts, we've got lots of stuff of our own prepared for all of you!
We have plenty in the works, but with our busy personal lives, our original plans to release a huge Winter Update have had to be postponed.
Don't you worry, though, because we've still got plenty for you to enjoy in a festive update, releasing right now!
We're temporarily giving away extra gifts to those who are generous enough to donate and support our cause to keep DFS up and going whilst bringing in new goodies as well as content to the servers for players to enjoy!
Starting now and for 3 weeks only, donating to DFS will have you receive the following gifts:
