What the beta season changed
In the Season 2 announcement the developer admitted that gameplay and economy changes during Season 1 made early climbing easier, and promised that from Season 2 on the core gameplay, mechanics and economy stay fixed during a season — only bug fixes and quality-of-life changes. Anything gained from a serious bug will be proportionally reverted. Cheating was also cleaned up during the season (for example 11 accounts suspended in v0.7.7 and 38 in v0.7.5, including the global #1 at the time).
