Inner Sphere Wars Upgrades Coming

Mechwarriors of the Inner Sphere,

ISW is getting new hardware this month to help support our growing community and gameplay requirements.

We are putting together 3 Combat Servers for Hosting locally of the Dedicated Servers, which will soon be how you fight your battles in ISW. We are also continuing to upgrade our network hardware and building up our reserve funds to pay for equipment repairs.

Obviously its hard for us to absorb these costs without your help. If you have not logged into ISW lately, I encourage you all to do so. If you have I hope to see you online.

Please consider supporting the Game and the community by sending your paypal donation to paypal@iswars.com. You can also donate from within ISW itself using your Options Menu, or via the main webpage at http://www.iswars.com

When donating please send a follow up email to comstar@iswars.com with who you are indicated so that proper credit can be given out.

Those that donate receive the following:

1. Stars - In game Stars show your support for the Game and the Community by indicating your level of donation for the current month ($0 - $30 US).

2. ISW Points - Allow access to Clan Tech, RP infusions for Planets or Jumpships, Betting on the Solaris 7 Fights, Entry in the ISW Points Lotto and more.

3. Credits Screen and Website - Everyone who donates to ISW in the current month is listed on the credits screen when you login, they are also listed on the Website in the donations page. Everyone will see that you are part of the Community and care enough to donate a few dollars a month.

Thanks for your support and your faith in ISW and Merry Christmas !!

ISW Development is now Back Online. We are looking for a Reset to occur within a few days. I have been trying to work with the House Leadership to determine the best time for this, however I have not seen allot of similar responses on this. I DO want to get the Reset done BEFORE the Thanksgiving Holiday so we do not have to worry about that over that time.

So it looks like we will do the Reset Sunday at 3 PM ISW Time (PST). Please plan on being Online for an hour or 2 during this time. Things should be streamlined from the last reset so we should be able to knock each turn out in under 30 minutes.

For this weekend we will be looking at Debugging Combat including Reporting issues, please login and spend some time assisting in this testing. We need to work out the issues we can before the reset. I need to see screenshots of errors both from the Runtime Box generated and or the Results / Ready Room Screens.

If you plan on being online after the reset, please be online this weekend.

ISW is on OPEN BETA right now because it is a good thing to allow people to play. However before you starting playing ISW you should understand that the game is in a stage of development and will be changing. Also you will be testing the features and abilities of the game as it develops, and not viewing it from a personal or player perspective as it relates to what House or Unit you are in. The object right now is to ensure the betterment of ISW, not yourself, your unit or even your House. You are here for ISW right now. Later when ISW is complete, ISW will be here for you. It is possible that people may be moved around during this phase of testing to balance out the houses whereas active players are concerned. It is also possible that Planetary Combat might be suspended from time to time to test specific things. You are welcome to join the BETA group and help us test, or you can wait until the game is finished or in the final stage of BETA.

Forum Software Upgrade is scheduled for this weekend (August 4th and 5th). The discussion forums will be closed temporarily for back-up, software upgrade integration, and quality check. This upgrade will NOT effect our gaming server as these are two separate servers. We thank you for your continued patronage, support, and assistance in our Beta project.
