SW City Interactive sponsors CitBingo

CitBingo has requested some help from the community and we’ve decided to pitch in and help by donating prizes.  Every week, tourists and citizens will be eligible to win a Blank SWiki Card as a bingo prize.  Players of both games interested in learning more about this can visit the announcement in full detail at the SW City Interactive Forum.

CitBingo is held every Friday night at 7pm VRT in CitBingo world

SWI login sessions

Various users have been complaining that they’re having issues with SWI, which we had tracked down to the session system not maintaining their session. I’m not really sure what the problem is and why it’s happening all of a sudden, but I used this as an excuse to rewrite the sessions system

You may need to relogin into SWI to rebuild your session. And by “may” I mean you will 

Swiki Cards: Edition 2 Update

I’m here to announce that all of Edition 2 Swiki Cards are now in-field and are obtainable. That means all 70 available Swiki cards are out there somewhere for the taking, so get out there and start hunting! Don’t believe me, look at SW Comit’s profile. Good luck!

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
