AlphaWorld Enhanced: Winter 1.0 has been released just in time for winter in the northern hemisphere! AWE Winter turns Alphaworld into a wintery wonderland. Trees have lost their leaves, ground textures have been dusted with a fresh coat of snow, and water has turned to ice! See old things in a new way. Download AWE Winter here.

SW City Ground Zero has finally been rebuilt. Syntax and SW Comit took the night and did some major refurbishing in the immediate SWGZ area to bring in the area’s first new look in over three years!

I know some of you may miss the last version of the ground zero which has been the face of SW City for some of the most successful years of it’s history but it is time to accept some change and move forward. Hope you all enjoy it!

Congratulations to New Arklay City who successfully pulled off their first (and hopefully not last) birthday celebration. All the events went smoothly and had excellent attendance. Props to the boys there for putting together a fun weekend of events.

The November issue of the SW City Times is also out on newsstands everywhere.

Today is SW City’s Halloween event where we’ll be launching a new PHP game. Set for the holiday, the event takes place in the blighted valley of Grimmwood Forest. Players can participate on a mid-sized quest there where they must recover an ancient artifact for an excavation crew…and possibly also a mini-quest that unlocks once you finish. ;D

To play, teleport to AW 2333S 3985E. (Teleport)

AWE 1.2 is out, with a skybox, more textures, new avatars and object enhancements.

Check it out at awe.swcity.net or here in the forums.

October 20th marks this year’s Great Submin Brew Fest (Drunkazaskunkz in their own language). Check out the festivities at town square, and head down the southern path.
