Firefly Studios announces Stronghold Kingdoms is out of beta, and the castle MMOG is now officially live. They offer a launch trailer to celebrate the news, along with word on the latest update to the game:

Patch 2.0 was released this morning, updating the popular Castle MMO with two requested features: Sound effects and a new Village Overview screen. Sound effects have been introduced during battles and for daily activities such as scouting and trading, adding another layer of immersion to the game for all players. A new Village Overview screen has also been introduced for users with an active Premium Token. The new screen shows an overview of your Villages, Troops and Units with detailed stats on each, available at a glance.
