By popular request we've added a Forum feature! Discuss strategy, share war stories, and meet your friends and enemies without leaving the game.

• Suggestions & Feedback – share ideas and complaints with other players and the devs. NOTE you can still use the Feedback button if you want to talk directly to the devs.
• Help & Strategy – get help here if you're confused or want some tips
• Technical Issues – report bugs and other issues

We'll be adding more social features in the future, stay tuned!

11.4.09 – Mission Improvements

• Attain greater mastery of missions as you do them – the better your mastery, the more cash & experience you get!
• Level names have been shuffled a little and the level cap has been raised above 50. If you have a lot more experience than is required for level 50 you'll be promoted after doing missions until you reach your proper level.
• Respect points for certain items increase as you use them more often over a 24 hour period.

10.27.09 – Turf Capturing Changes

We made 2 changes to the combat system to improve gameplay for all players

• Added 24 hour delay from claiming a turf to when it can be used for capturing other players' turf. This reduces the problem where players claim or capture turf next to your turf and immediately capture it.
• Player's can't capture the turf of players with less than 10% of their total influence.

  For example, player1 (with influence 1000) can capture the nearby turf of player1 (with 200 influence total), but can't capture the nearby turf of player2 (who has only 90 total influence).

Be on the lookout for a new "checklist" feature for capturing turf in the near future!

10.22.09 – Account Reset

10.16.09 – Economy Upgrades

We are making some updates to the economy tomorrow at 1pm PDT to make it easier for new players to earn more income.

The majority of players will see an increase in income – those who don't will be entitled to 40 respect points to make up for the difference.

10.12.09 – New Website Turf Map
