CuppaJo has recently announced on the Official beta forums that their plans for segregating the EU & US communities have now been cancelled. This is fantastic news for the SSX with us having members from all over the world, giving us the opportunity for all of us to play on the same server together if that's what we decide!
"As many of you know, we had planned to segregate the US and EU communities in the near future and going forward for launch. However, after having a worldwide beta that allowed players to play on either server with their friends and guildmates on both sides of the pond, we have decided NOT to segregate players but instead to allow you to login and pick where you want to play - US or EU.
We will still have servers located in both the US and the EU (US servers are West and East Coast - EU servers are in Germany) and events will be run like they have been in beta - US servers have events during US primetime and EU servers will have events in EU primetime.
We have a few support issues to work out - such as /bug working no matter what server you are but we feel this is the right decision for our player community."

I am pleased to announce the launch of our latest group website, for Tabula Rasa!
The site is intended to be used for displaying general Tabula Rasa news as well as any group news that we may have to share, a gallery to show off our screenshots and a page explaining who we are, what we’re about and how to go about joining us.
The site is also intended to be small, so whether we have one or two (EU/US) groups in TR when the game is released, the site should operate just as good for two groups as it would for one, making it a perfect place to introduce our new recruits to. That said, if we need to add an extra page for something in the future that shouldn't be a problem.
I must say I'm very pleased with the site so I can only hope everyone else is too, if you encounter any problems just give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.
Finally I'd just like to say a huge thanks to Anny who has helped me solve several problems that I came across throughout the building process which has been a big help!
-If you would like to comment on the site please do so here.

The server issues which have been ongoing since the accident which occurred almost two weeks ago have now been resolved, and as a result of this we have been able to restore the Main Website to full functionality once more.
Unfortunately it has not been possible to restore those news items which were submitted after the backup was taken. The two most recent newsposts prior to the accident have been replaced, however we will be unable to do the same with others. We apologise for this, but there is little else we can do.
Please let us know if you run into any issues with the website as you use it. Whilst we have restored as much as possible to the state it was in prior to the accident it may well be that we overlook something. If any issues are reported they will be resolved as swiftly as we are able.
We thank you for your patience with us over the last two weeks we have been operating under limited functionality. We are sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused.

Today is the last day for voting in our yearly elections for the role of Arbiter. The Arbiter is the person who resolves any disputes within the SSX, and is the first in line when a decision needs making.
This is, in a sense, the nearest thing to a leader the SSX have, so this is a VERY important vote and is open to all SSX members.
This year four people are in the frame for the vote, having recieved nominations from members; Anubis, Inquisitor, Killjoy and Messiah.
If you don't know these people, each of them has written a post about why you should and should not vote for them to help aid you in choosing who to vote for.
This can be found here, and the vote itself can be found here.
We hope to see a good turnout, please use your vote wisely.

Yesterday saw the release of Evolution 2.2, the latest update to Neocron. With the release of 2.2 everyone that has an inactive Neocron 2 game account has kindly been given 30 days of free playtime on their accounts (providing you weren't banned).
If you're interested in checking it out, you can download the new client from the official NC2 site.
More info on 2.2 and the changes can be found here. ;)

The Shattered Star eXiles guild on Outland is now up and running again.
The aim for this guild is to be a guild of players who are initially low to middle level, who may be new or returning for the expansion. Who wish to have fun whilst leveling/grinding and who could help each other out in the process.
Anyone wishing to join should contact Ash either by PM or ingame (a list of his characters can be found in his forum sig)

We are currently in the process of updating our forum software (phpBB) to a more recent version. Whilst the update is in progress the forum will be inaccessible for a time, so if you cannot reach the forum index at any point there is no need to worry, simply check back later by which time the update will hopefully be completed.
If you experience any issues with the forum once the update is completed please feel free to drop into IRC and let one of us know, and we'll do our best to sort things out.

If you are from Europe and get a message on the forums saying you are banned, do not worry, you are probably just a casualty of the recent spambot cleanup.
Just pop on to IRC and let Inquisitor know, he can fix it. ;)

(If you have never used IRC before you can find a guide on how to connect to our server via the mIRC client, here. You can also connect direct to our IRC channel via your web browser by going here.)

We are pleased to announce that our server move has now been completed, meaning that the website is now safely upon faster servers. However this move has resulted in an altered directory structure for the website. Simply put, any URL that contains the /ssx/ directory within it will no longer work.
Our homepage can now be accessed through www.shatteredstar.org, and our forums through www.shatteredstar.org/forums/ - so please all update your bookmarks.
We are currently in the process of updating the content of our main/group websites to reflect this change. Please bear with us whilst we complete this process.
