Just a short word on the behalf of Vadis, myself, and the rest of the Sylien Team: Happy New Year! We wish you all well and to have lots of fun. For us the New Year promises to be a great one with many new features added to Tradewars Rising and the igGameCenter, cool and long awaited bug fixes, and quite probably a much accelerated rate of development. Very soon, we'll launch Tradewars Rising playable on the Facebook platform so you can easily invite your Facebook friends to play your favorite game, and get as many people as possible in the games you prefer. Later during the year, we expect to add more great online games and to finally put some games properly on wireless devices such as the iPhone and Blackberries. We'll make announcements and send newsletters as we go to keep you informed.

You've probably spent some time wondering recently: “Where are Lehmund and Vadis? Have they disappeared?” Not quite. We've been busy doing several cool community things in order to bring more players to the site. More players means more fun right?

Well, we set up a real cool affiliate fan site on Battleclinic.com . For those who have been living in the dark ages of massively multiplayer space games (i.e. EVE-Online, Star Trek Online, etc. ..), Battleclinic serves all the best ones. We're now on there, and not just in any way, we put up a section on our minisite there where the Affiliate iframe is set up. That means Battleclinic visitors will be able to play Tradewars Rising with you guys in ranked games, and yes, they will be creating their private games too. These guys are really cool. I will be inviting you soon to play in their private games a bit, to guide these noobs a bit, teach them the ropes! You ARE the experts aren't you?

Their site is a great example of a hugely successful affiliate site. With the new affiliate tool, who's going to be the next one?

And of course, to play Tradewars® Rising on our own site. ..
