Upcoming Server Maintenance

Due to the recent security vulnerability in the Linux kernel (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516949) which we have seen being exploited in the wild, our host will be continuing to upgrade kernel version for the SW City server Friday night. This may affect the SW City Website and Forum, the Academy, SW City Interactive, the SWiki, and any images and sounds hosted on SWCity.net. Please note that the current Linux kernel has been patched and as such our server is still secure from any vulnerabilities, this is just a follow-up update on the kernel version. This may require a reboot but the downtime will be very minimal barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Maintenance Date: Friday, October 9, 2009

Maintenance Time: Beginning at 8:00pm EST

New Lore

A bunch of fresh, new lore has been written up on the SWiki. These new articles finally detail the founding of the city and its religious beliefs.
