This week I have a lot of good news for you!
The first one it that the forum will have some downtime
early tomorrow morning. "Now, how is that good news!?" I can already hear you scream.
But it is! The cause is that we need to take the server offline for a few minuter to
cram in twice the amount of RAM in it. That is part in our plan to speed up the forum.
We have also changed a lot of tables from innoDB to MyISAM. If that tells you nothing,
don't worry about, it just means we are working on making it faster. :)

More good news! We have hired our first full-time in-house QA:
artfox!
We are very proud to have an experienced QA, with years of industry experience join us.

In other news, our weekly multiplayer session of Divine Wind is going great.
I had an army way over my support limit which was fine until I almost went bankrupt.
Now I have a more modest army and just gobble up small states in the Burgundy
surroundings, and get annoyed over the harsh penalties for illegal provinces. It's just
too fun to take them though, so I keep doing it...

News from the forum
In HoI3, they are of course discussing what should be in the new patch.
I have a pretty good idea, but as long as I can't confirm it, you won't get a word out of me. :)

If you are interested in Supreme Ruler: Cold War, I hope you have seen the developer blog?
You can find it here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/blog.php?82023-Balthagor. A more personal touch than
a developer diary, check it out!

Our new game Lionheart has gotten a great reception, besides from the poor players who
get the already infamous crash of course. Good news however! The developers have a
patch that is nearing completion, now they would like YOUR help to see if it really works!
It will be very appreciated both by Neocore, us and all players who get the crash if some
of you could try the patch. See how you can participate here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?502649-Game-crashing/page4.

One of the more long-lived threads in OT has actually reached 743 pages.
That is one popular game! http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?268232-Guess-the-city!/page743

Great update, i would love to see such posts like... monthly? :)

Also my contest is drawing to an end in the Victoria 2 AAR section,
the date when the winners are announced just got delayed a week to give myself and the judges more time for it :)

Give those AAR´s a read and comment on them!
There are some really great ones there :)
 
Nice update. :) Would be nice to see this on a regular basis.
Monthly seems reasonable, I doubt there's enough weekly stuff to avoid it bogging down to a list of Dev Diaries.
 
Great post.

I never heard of the SR: CW blog, despite having put so much time and effort on keeping track on every single piece of information I can get my hands on about it. Thank you for sharing it.

This made my day, because I saw myself in this.

Thanks Kallocain for the great news on the server updates.
