Developments:

 

1. Double HC weekend starts now

2. We've significantly increased the HC rewards for new user achievements

  - The idea is to remove the sense of too much grind

  - New users should be able to buy new stuff - more choice, more fun, less stress at making the "wrong purchase choice"

  - We will be watching "the numbers" to see how it *actually* affects the new user experience

3. We're reviving a different gameserver management system that may actually improve performance a bit

  - It's Ansible-based in case you like that level of detail ;)

4. We have an all-new server in Dallas

  - look for "dallas2"

  - it's running in an Internap data center (they're way into good networking)

5. Community tournaments - if you're running one or if you want to run one, send in a support ticket and tell us about it

  - We want to help make your event a success.

  - those "na" servers are running with this

6. There's a cosmetic item available for HC that's usually only an MC item.

  - Be quick though, this time it really is a limited-time-only thing

7. Probably the most important development this last week was this: http://www.megabots.com/

  - I started talking with them.  How could we partner up?  What do you think?

  - Does this mean we need to somehow challenge the MWO team?  Post your feedback here.
