Well at least here you'll be treated with dignity. Now strip naked and get on the probulator. :: Burn on that old crew! The only things they did better than us were suck and die! :: This opera's as lousy as it is brilliant! Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel. That makes me feel angry!

Easter Patch posted on April 13th, 2006 by albedo

So they took down the servers briefly to patch today.  Here are the official patch notes:

Chip War Times brought back an hour after the DST settings took affect.

Chip War reward items have been changed for the Easter weekend. Attacking teams will see these rewards. If successful there will be regular updates to reward system.

Launcher graphic update to allow players to click through to their COG Player Account

Guard Tower Turrets have had a power increase throughout Novus.

Yay I can attend weekday Chip Wars again

Recruitment posted on March 30th, 2006 by Takako

Underpowered is now open for recruiting (on the Water server)! If you’re interested, please contact any of the following players in-game: Xelissa, Nokkers, Moui, Albedo. We’ll probably want to talk to you for a short time to see if you might be the type of person we’d get along with, but we’ll be pretty casual about it.

Please keep in mind we’re a pretty laid-back guild. We like to play hard (especially in the PvP department), do our best, but we don’t like drama and we aren’t the “if you aren’t the best, you aren’t welcome” type of people. We’re all here to have fun, so if you’re looking for a die-hard, extremely serious guild, we might not be the right match for you. We’re dedicated to helping each other out, so we can all have a good time, not about being the “number one guild on the server.”

Ventrilo is preferred, but not required. We do most of our communication via ventrilo, so even if you don’t have a mic, it might be good to just download the program and listen.

We look forward to seeing you in-game!

-Xelissa

Server-side mini patch posted on March 20th, 2006 by Takako

Crag mine teleporters are now fixed, due to a small server-side patch.

Weapon/Shield Crafting posted on March 3rd, 2006 by albedo

I have compiled a list of the Weapons and shields I can make, along with the materials and the amount of each.  I made a post about it in the Guild Forum called “Crafting Items.”  Its an Excel spreadsheet for the time being. 

Check it out!  Let me know what you think.    I’ll add more to it as I climb higher (Currently lvl 22 in it).  As you can see from the list, I still need tons and tons of Ply Blidend.   

My thanks goes to Tyler for showing and teaching a nub like me to upload it <3
