The video with Veynom's presentation is now up on youtube. We listened to your requests and added subtitles this year to make it easier for everyone to get all the datails.
The video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4dCG1sqW_w
This may actually be a good opportunity to visit my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/JDreighton) where I collect all SWC related videos available on YouTube. If you submit any SWC related videos to YouTube, I would apprecaite a DM or mail (dreighton@swcombine.com) from you.
You may post your comments in this topic here. | | (Edited by Khan on Year 11 Day 81) |

Ever notice that a Wildlife Preserve is a 20x 20.... yeah, where are we going to put the Power Generator for that? Well, fixed this debacle by stealing Veynom's batteriesd from his IRC holopad (the takeover begins! shh), and shunted them into a big tree in the middle of the Preserve! Now its a bit easier to build them, eh? |

It has been a busy but wonderful week. It would be impossible to summarise everything so I will try to focus on some key aspects.
We started by reviewing our 2009 work, discussing what went well, what did not, and why. We agreed on the fact that 2009 was definitely a productive year with more completed projects than not and it would have been almost perfect without the server stability issues we ran into during Q4. The PDF of the presentation is available here.
Based on these facts, we concentrated our efforts in three areas. First of course, game development. With combat approaching and our well-known economic situation, we had a lot of discussions, assesments and mechanisms to analyse. We effectively divided these gigantic topics into smaller projects that were sequenced and prioritised. We then concentrated on our player base with topics ranging from retention rate improvement, players satisfaction, and support. Finally, we concentrated on some extremely technical aspects regarding our current development and production architecture. Among other tools, Clarr presented us with a Virtual Machine setup of the Combine which allows developers to develop more quickly and safely.
Finally we took the conclusions or each topic and started drafting our next targets. Each target has been transformed into a project and carefully sequenced into the development paths. Priorities have been defined and a plan could finally be drawn. However as the number of projects filled more than a year, we decided to create a multi-year plan with more details being given to 2010.
So what is the bigs news of 2010 ? Well it can be summarised in one word: Combat.
All of combat ? Not really. Creatures combat to start with and up to PvP combat if everything goes according to plan. By PvP, we mean a character and his party against another character and his own party. A video presentation of the different projects and targets will be made available in the coming days.

Well it seems everybody keeps on submitting a very large number of sites and people are quite repeating over themselves. This wasn't what I intended, but I guess I forgot to mention it. So there are currently a couple of players who submitted more or less the same list. So I'll be reducing the number of sites a single player can submit to 3. So think carefully on what you'd like to submit. All of those that already sent an e-mail you can resend it with 3 links from your list that you think are the best.
Thanks for everyone and sorry for the misunderstanding!

Hey all,
First of all, I'd like to welcome our two new ASims to the team, and good luck with their new and tireless job! Now, it's time we add some more banners to the Topsites we have. The PR team is now in search for more websites to be added to the "Clicking Banners" system. These websites helps us improve SWC's publicity outside on the net, and also helps you get an additional 10 CPs for another click or two. So we are looking for the players to submit websites that have a voting system and can include SWC in it. Much like any other website banner in the TopSites. The submitted links must be related to gaming of course, and must have a voting system and a place where people can see the SWC's banner and click on it. So it's important you check the website you submit before you submit it. And now for the fun part that does not include any dead.. kittens?
For each website you submit, you get 500 CPs! Submissions that has more to them than just a random gaming website will be rewarded much better! So keep on submitting websites, the more the merrier. We'll get more traffic!  The websites we select will then be added to our Topsites and you'll be able to click on their banner and vote for SWC.
Send an e-mail to bannerexchange@swcombine.com with your Handle and website suggestion. Remember, submitting popular gaming sites is not all there is to it, you need to be certain they A) Have a voting system. B) Willing to take new sites in their own TopSites.
Let the submissions flow!

Two good movies, I suggest you watch them both. One is a great thriller about CIA operatives, the latter a great comedy about cloning and every day life.
Kavilo Dujuk and Serana Sarou will have enough time to watch them, as they are banned for violation of the Spying rules, and being multis themselves. Thanks to the dedicated and hard work of everyone out there that sent in the information. I tip my hat to you all.
EDIT: Seems I was wrong as usual. Kav and Ser are not multis, and the spying is not against the rules. I have unbanned them, and let two small kittens roam free. My sincerest apologies for the mix up.
