Looks like AWI can’t make up their minds. Tourists are re-allowed into Alphaworld again. This time the reason is uncertain though.
UPDATE: Chris here. Tourists are gone again. From now on we will not update any more news on this issue unless Tourist access is actually made permanent. >_<
In case you’re wondering, the forums are down (again!). But, if it’s like any of the other times it went down it shouldn’t be long.
In the meantime, you can check out Ferruccio’s luxurious Sybit Seaport located at 1770.90S 3624.53E 90. Citizens may build a small~medium sized boat there upon request.
What is this? swcity.net is planning a few new things to report on the front page news. SW Chris will be posting news about AW now; and Captain MAD Mike may post news about interesting real world news no more than once a week. However I’ll be taking CMM’s job for the first couple weeks, and I’ll open a poll in the forums where you can vote to keep doing real world news or to drop it. Then I’m hoping CMM’ll take over. Now with that out of the way, here’s there news:
AOL looses 99 Billion Dollars.
Kazaa sues the RIAA, the same company that brought down Napster and oppose CD Burners, saying that the music industry is ignorant of digital age.
Playstation 3 is revealed. Said to run at 4 ghz.
Here’s a nifty little website to see how busy and healthy the internet is.
You can now play Simcity Classic online ^_^!
Happy birthday Vornox and Mr John ^_^! *gives you each a free cheese log coupon*
Termani Island – The second biggest island of Vornox’s expansion for Cypris Creek has started a little urban area next to the bridge leading to Sybit Island.
Sybit Island, south – Ferruccio has started a seaport on the southern tip next to the Dionic Bridge. CSWC hopes to turn this into the first non-destroyed (lol) colonized area of Sybit.
Orton Strip Mall, east – While the climax of production has slowed down, there are still a couple of shops in the work. There’s also been some touch ups in the older areas of OSM.
Optimum Island – Production has been really booming here, especially on the west side. The island has also been acting as a gate for new residents lately.
Silver Valley – Straight from Nutinmuch himself: “Silver Valley has grown after a nice sixed Forest known as “Salty Forest” Sprung up. Around this forest will be a Urban Center full of Skyscrapers and markets, similar to OSM. If you would like to build around this area, contact Nutinmuch.”
And for those who haven’t been around for the past month, Nimbus Land sports some new various builds, as well as a urban area in *Palm Grove* (believe it or not) just north of Meta Bay. And there are even rumors of OniLink about to spring back into action 😉
Overwhelmed by all these names? Download the SW City map in the downloads section. Speaking of such, I’ve been working on finalizing the version 3 of the map, though I’ve had some trouble getting it to look good enough for release.
In other news, a Nimbusian driver for a Loggers delivery truck was hijacked and destroyed by a herd of wild Virgils.
