 > Your trusty assistant in your Lacuna Expanse misadventures!
 
+**Note:** as of March 2016, this project is in "maintenance mode". This means I'll only keep it running rather than add new features. This is because I am no longer a player of The Lacuna Expanse. There are breaking server changes on the horizon and when they go live none of this will work anymore. Sadly, there's not much I can do.
