Hi everyone. We have two weeks worth of goodness for you here. Enjoy and as always, please comment on any of these that aren't working as they read, or about any other existing bugs that you have noticed and would like us to fix. Thanks!
DONE:
- Sgt. Neatham is no longer attackable.
- Attack results on the actual attack page have been updated for people who like to click things.
- A Kix Woods teleporter has been added. You can pick up your teleporter from Hiricho.
- Soul Scream, Decaying Skin, and Thick Black Blood were made tradable.
- Fixed a bug that wasn’t allowing some players to obtain level 3 noob pwnage and above.
- Modified the statistic changing variables of Noob Pwnage, all levels.
- Fixed a server side issue with some nodes, which were not displaying some text characters correctly.
- Fixed a display issue with send_ow_message.php, and crew_postn.php, which wasn’t allowing some players to put line breaks in their messages.
- Fixed a Technical Difficulty error when having new recruits sign up for Outwar.
- Removed old test code display from the message center an attack log.
- Fixed crew messages sent out from awarded loot. Now, only one message is sent.
- A new npc, Shushmer, has been added to Pineblood Village in Kix Woods. Shushmer
is a trainer.
- Removed trainer flag from Gandala.
- Removed all quest mobs from second War of Zhul.
- Made upgrades to backend point tracking tools.
- Fixed a technical difficulties error when turning in the “Charged Device” quest.
- Redesigned the way your character’s stats are calculated after a skill wears off, in order to improve database efficiency.
- Set the timer on the Tome of Conflagration to zero, so it no longer expires.
- The ordering of the Outwar Annual PP works perfectly now.
- Zarant was spawned and defeated on five servers… keep fighting Quiver!
- Many updates to War of Zhul frontend and backend pages have been made, which will make the NEXT ROUND easier for us to create and monitor, leaving all the fun to you, the players!
- We experienced some random downtime on Monday due to a failing piece of hardware. We apologize again for that and it has taken care of.
- Wording and display for Preferred Player ordering pages has been touched up.
- The SSL certificate was renewed making for safe purchasing once again. No purchases were made insecurely, as the page would not allow players to click through, but this is fixed now.
- We now have six brand new dual-core Intel Xeon 5130 2.0 Ghz machines with 4mb caches to handle our traffic. We are looking to maybe add on one or two more, but you should be seeing a significant difference in speed now, and definitely once we add one or two more. We aren’t done with hardware upgrades though! All of the database servers will most likely have SSD’s installed to replace the older disk drives. If you aren’t familiar with SSD’s, you should google them… they have no moving parts and they’re really cool! We are sure these will help speed things up for everyone. These upgrades are solely for you, the players, and we couldn’t make these upgrades if it wasn’t for your support. Even after this wave of upgrades is made, we will still be looking to places we can improve performance within Outwar to make sure you have the best possible playing experience we can provide.
A look into the Future:
- Development for the City of Eternal Star is underway! This will be a top level free zone that you guys are going to love... if you like a challenge!
- We are developing a simple feedback system for completed support tickets that will allow players to rate their satisfaction with how any given ticket was handled. We believe our moderators and support Administrators do a great job overall, but this will allow us to better monitor individual situations with specific players and customers. But beware, as a ticket rater, of the boy who cried wolf!
Newsposts:
2/8/09 - Purchasing Points Available Once Again: As you may have noticed, due to some bad timing, our purchase pages have been down recently due to realizing that our SSL certificates expired. Our pages were made untouchable while the certificates were updated for your security. They are currently updated now and you may continue with purchasing points. Remember, your purchases keep Outwar strong and growing!
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
Look for some WoZ updates tomorrow!

Special congrats goes out to xEvil from Torax, for the most shards turned in on any server, with a whopping 804!
Also, congrats to the •Ou†war Immor†als• of Sigil, whose crew turned in a massive 4,322 shards. The most on any server.
Notice to winners. You will be contacted by admin "MagicNiCK" via OW message center on how to obtain your prize.
Congrats to everyone, and keep up the good work with Zarant!
2/6/09 - WoZ & N00b Pwnage (NP) Updates: Congratulations again to all the winners listed below for the shard turn-in competition!
Noob Pownage is being worked on, please bear with us.
This system ensures that those who bring the most unique people to Outwar will be rewarded. There is also more potential to gain ATK & HP for the best N00b Pwner's. We hope you find this system enticing. And remember, anyone found using a proxy clicker, or not bringing different people to Outwar is cheating and will be suspended indefinitely!
Congratulation to Sigil and Torax for taking down Zarant! Fabar, it looks like he's reeling... get those last licks in before another crew does!
More to come!

2/5/09 - Shard Winners: While we await the Quiver server to reach critical mass, we wanted to announce the shard competition winners from the rest of the servers!
