Reminder: MAG v1.06 Goes Live Today

Just a little friendly reminder from us to you, that today, June 8th, the crazy kids over at Zipper will be dropping down their latest, most comprehensive patch for all you MAGheads out there. The update will be available at different times throughout the wee hours of the morning, so head on past the break to find out exactly when and to get reacquainted with what to expect when the download bar hits 100%.

Those that live within the realms of GMT time will be able to grab the patch first at 8am, while everyone else whose clocks follow the cadence of Pacific and Eastern will have to wait until 1am and 4am, respectively. Weird how that works out, huh? Also, just in case you completely forgot what’s inside this 100MB bundle of joy, we decided to include a full change log below. Yeah, we’re just nice like that. Happy downloading!
