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.

It’s old news to some, but new news to us. SW City Barn Raising (the biodome) took home best event of the year, hosted by the AWEC. Goober King asked me what I thought about it, and I was like “what?”. Apparently we won, but no one told us =P

Congrats to SW Chris who came up with the idea.

Recently, Syntax and OniLink popped on a big ol’ addition on Irenic Ocean on the SE side. I was a bit inspired so Syn and I started a river, named Vishara’s River, heading out of town. The river goes directly north for about 600 coords, then east (and a bit south) for another 500 or so coords. The river leads into Cougar Lake, roughly the size of Palm Sea. On the shores of Cougar lake we started a little place called Mondary Village. It’s going for an old fashioned 1800’s look.

We’re now thinking of some ways of classifying these out of town towns. One idea regarded turning us into a nation, but I won’t go into details unless it’s official. Stay tuned =)

Escape from The Vastlands

For no particular reason, you wanted to scout out the forest in The Vastlands. You go to a little dock off of Clandestinian Village, and your journey begins there…

Some have reported a white blank when loading the forum. This is common, everyone has this problem. Simply refresh the white blank to view the forums untill a fix is made.

A Map of Tiberius Forest has been posted in the forums.

After a few months of the ocean expanding, a city scout spotted new forestry in The Vastlands (the land inbetween Vishara’s River, Skexis River and the ocean). Hundreds and hundreds of coords of Kithicorian type forest cover the southwestern corner now, and is spreading fast into surrounding areas of the huge river island. SW’ians are eager to begin exploring the forest for whatever nougats might discovered…

The first person to find the Qwerdy’s Shrine tree (refer to the forestry guide) will have the forest named after him/her.

UPDATE: And the winner is…Mr John! But because “Mr John Forest” doesn’t sound right, he named it Tiberius Forest.
