  Paradigm shift: Kobol will be an API, game clients will be built on top 
Code review and discarding of loosely rebuilt elements.  
  Infrastructure refactoring: taken elements from the original idea to bring four building blocks: 
    CMS: where everything is designed.
    Profiler: will be the entry point of realms, will provide root elements to the game client and the cards depot.
    GameServer: will serve all requests to the game client and control battle flow.
    Stas server: will receive stats from the other blocks and build reports.
    Game clients will live on the realm websites, and the websites will only interface with the GameServers.
