Announcing a Major New Feature

  I'm pleased to announce a major update to Turf Wars. Beginning on May 1st, 2011, we will be opening up real-world airports in major Turf Wars cities worldwide – allowing you to “turf hop” between these cities and set up turf!
• nick Apr 9, 2011

  Here's how it will work: - All players over level 15 will be granted a plane ticket by The Don, once a week. At launch time there won't be a way to hurry this, though as time goes on we may add this.
  - Players whom have turf at a supported airport can use their plane ticket to build a turf at connecting airports. For example if you have turf at JFK airport, you'll be able to build turf at airports in Chicago, London, L.A., and any other city that JFK connects to!
  - Plane tickets can only be used to hop between connecting airports – no where else.
  - Just like in real life, airports only connect to other airports within a certain distance. For example, you'll be able to directly connect from New York to London, but not to Singapore. The initial airports will be able to fly to any airport within 10,000 km (6,000mi) of their location; future airports may have a different range.
  - There will be a time-limited combat penalty for faraway newly-built turf.

  Launch Timeline - version 1.7 will be released in the coming weeks – this version will show the supported airports on the in-game map.
  - Players using 1.7 will be able to see which of their turf are near a supported airport, and where they can travel to.
  - Airports will launch with Version 2.0, due out on May 1st. This release will fully enable airports, letting players use them for building turf at their connecting airports.
  - During May we'll be expanding the airports to more cities, based on popular demand and other considerations.

  Supported Cities/Airports: - On launch day, we will include airports in the 15 largest cities: LAX (Los Angeles), LHR (London), JFK (New York), SFO (San Francisco), ORD (Chicago), HKG (Hong Kong), PEK (Beijing), YYZ (Toronto), SEA (Seattle), SIN (Singapore), SYD (Sydney), TXL (Berlin), IAH (Houston), ATL (Atlanta), and YVR (Vancouver).
  - We'll be expanding this list in the weeks after the launch date, working our way from the top Turf Wars cities to smaller cities. Smaller cities may have airports with a smaller range (i.e. San Francisco can connect with airports 6000 miles away, but Sacramento might connect to airports within 1000 miles of it).

  As always, we look forward your feedback and questions – post here or via feedback if you'd like to share your thoughts!

• 〓MΛVΞЯICK〓 Apr 9, 2011

  Wow this could be good for the game. Personally I like hopping but I think I'll just fly now!!! The new players will wonder why did you hop so far.
• RedÐawg Apr 9, 2011

  Wow. Now all my hops to get into 20 states was a waste. The rule seems like an end to gps to me but so be it.
• TheRamb Add: 86 Apr 9, 2011

  This is brilliant. Although I'm still stuck- we need Dublin added in one of the updates! But still exciting stuff 👍👍
• BlindLuck Apr 9, 2011

  Holy shit. Am I dreaming???
• KrissKross Apr 9, 2011

  I second Dannu, definitely Manchester needed!
• ZRAYGO Apr 9, 2011

• RENO Apr 9, 2011

  Thank god! I think Nick new his game was sucking and the only thing left to do was punch codes and have one another attack each to get god father status and enjoy TW as if it was Facebook. Think we will see a huge build up around air ports now, that should be interesting.

  Once a week seems like overkill though. I thought once every few months would have been fair.
