2/25/09 - Outwar Support Staff: Hello everyone! This is a friendly reminder to be kind and respectful to your Outwar support staff! We have taken great strides - thanks to Misery, his moderators and our programming team, to create the most organized, interactive and helpful support system we can for Outwar and will continue trying to perfect it for you.
In return, all we ask is that all support staff - whether Game Helpers, Moderators, Forum Mods, or Administrators be treated with respect and courtesy. Unfortunately, they won't always be able to help with some of the requests, and it will seem as if they are rude or unresponsive, but we have policies in place to minimize abuse, which must be followed.
One way to show your understanding and appreciation, is to spread positive vibes about the support staff in the forums and especially by rating the tickets fairly when they are completed (10 is the best!).
Thanks for helping Outwar become what it is now!

2/25/09 - Double PvP Day Over: Double PvP day has come to a close. Check the news for info on when the next one will be!
2/24/09 - Upgrades Complete & Double PvP day: Thanks everyone for your patience. Everything should be in perfect working order now. RampidGaming and Sigil now have brand new machines with the latest SSD hard drive technology. Please feel free to give us feedback in the forums about any issues you may see or performance changes you notice.
We will be monitoring the new upgrades to track performance ourselves, but always appreciate feedback from the players. After making a judgment on how these changes affect performance, we will be looking into upgrading other servers in need as well. In the meantime, thanks to all other servers for your patience, but you should still see improvements with the upgrade of RampidGaming hardware.
And remember, for the next 24 hours, all experience stolen and stripped during combat will be doubled! Ends at 1pm Wednesday ! Play nice!

2/24/09 - Downtime and Upgrades! (edit): Today we will be making some major hardware changing to the RampidGaming server and Sigil server.
RampidGaming is expected to be down for no more than 5-10 minutes and during this time, all game servers will be down.
Sigil won't be so fortunate, as you will need to wait at least 60-90 minutes before returning to the action. However, in the end, there should be significant improvements in site speed.
We expect the downtime to start around 3:00PM EST. Thanks for your patience!
