Major Updates
As with any game the major updates are the most anticipated ones and AFK Journey will bring some interesting changes and new content with its Hotfix on April 11th.
The Trial of Abyss
A game mode that offers a ton of rewards and Stellar Crystals (summon currency for the Stargaze Station) that unlock after you've completed all of the available AFK Stages, which are currently 1125. This mode unlocks on the 18th day of a server's launch meaning that it's coming pretty soon.
Cross-Server Friends
You will now be able to add people from other servers and the friends cap will be increased from 40 to 60. Furthermore, you will also be able to participate in Synergy and Proxy battles with friends from any server, which will help some people push their AFK Stages.
Primal Lord Reward Adjustments
There are a number of rewards that a server can get based on how quickly they kill the Primal Lord in their server. The best reward a server can get is to kill the Primal Lord in the span of 5 days. With the new hotfix, this reward tier will be increased to 8 days instead of 5, and the other tier of rewards will be adjusted as well.

Experience Optimizations have to do with AFK Journey's quality of life updates. This hotfix will bring the following optimizations:
- Lowered the level requirement for joining Corrupt Creature teams in specific regions.
- Weakened the second wave of enemies in AFK Stages with multiple waves of enemies.
- The daily purchase limit of Duel Letters in Honor Duel has been increased to 30 times per day.
- Optimized text for the 10x Recruitment option in the Noble Tavern.
- Optimized the description for the Rate Up Recruitment event rule in the Noble Tavern.
- Optimized the description for the Guild Chest distribution rules for clarity.

Bug Fixes
As with any game, bug fixes are one of the major parts of any hotfix update. Luckily the bug fixes in this update aren't major, below you can see all of them.
- Fixed the issue where tapping the Rankings button on the Expert Dueler event page didn't navigate correctly to the Honor Duel Ranking interface.
- Fixed abnormal ranking sorting issues in some cases in Battle Drill Rankings.
- Fixed a problem in the Dream Realm preparation interface where the level didn't update immediately after switching the Hands of Resonance heroes.
- Fixed the issue where icons were not displayed on the mini-map in caves.
- Fixed an issue where the exclamation point reminder on titles wouldn't disappear after tapping on them in certain cases.
Combat Mechanics
The combat mechanics for this hotfix are quite short, only featuring a slight buff for Antandra's Ultimate where it wouldn't deal the correct damage at level 3. This damage will be adjusted and she will now deal the correct amount of damage.

Summary
All in all, a good round of fixes coming to the game with the hotfix. The Trial of Abyss will certainly be an interesting mode for those who manage to reach it eventually, and it will also give the whales who've already cleared all of the content something else to do.
The other changes and fixes are also welcomed and having a cross-server addition this close after launch means that we can expect other cross-server compatibility features added in the future.
