Very cool.. but any word if this means we need to do anything on our (the mod authors) part?
I'm guessing no.. but instead of guessing, I figured I would just ask

Nope you don't have to do anything. It just fixes what was broken before. Now you can properly join servers for RO mods from the Steam server browsers (before it would just launch the mod, but not connect to the server). You can also join a server a friend is on if they are playing an RO mod.

As some will have noticed I sent this out as an announcement in the RO Official steam group. If you haven't joined yet, LOS LOS!

Pretty much what I thought. Since there's a few mods, I was mostly thinking to just make it publically know to avoid having the same question asked several times in a row.

I still owe alot of you guys drinks et.al.. maybe someday it'll happen... in the mean time.. you guys track how many i owe ya :]

If that is the case then you haven't properly opted in for the beta. Check the instructions in Yosh's post again and make sure you followed the directions.
