Star Wars Community - In-Character [SWCIC]

We're back

I won't say we're active, but we're back. Sorry, my life has overhauled itself since Christmas, I haven't been able to resume all the projects that I would like.

Any players who are still interested in revitalizing SWCIC, post here with your ideas and plans

Old Server Retired - SWCIC Closed

While you may be seeing this page, SWCIC is not yet back online. Our old server was retired faster than we anticipated and so we were forced to move DNS to our new server which was our work in progress. SWCIC is closed/suspended until further decision/notice made by Evaders99, the lead admin of SWCIC.

Server Updates: IRC All Better, Migration Almost Done

Hey folks, I thought you'd like a little update. We have moved IRC Services (which now support SQL) to the new server (iceberg.blazeirc.net) hosted on our new Luke server. Services are up, db still intact, glacier is still running and linked with iceberg for the present time. We have migrated BlazeIRC website and mail functions to Luke. We are currently in the long process of the automated migration of SWCIC and SWRebellion (With databases this time) to the new Luke server. It is almost complete. I imagine Evaders and Uliq and I will be doing some testing on it first before we make it live to the public. Boards will be reactivated when it goes live. We will announce this. In the meantime, please get on IRC (irc.blazeirc.net) and jump on #swcic and chat with us. Questions may be directed there. Thanks for your patience.

OOC board outage

Hi everybody,

we realize, that the OOC board is offline right now.
Just remain calm and stick to the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

Or in other words: don't panic ! ;)

IRC Issues Continue

Well, I'll be posting updates on the IRC Server in the OOC forums > Technical Support Section. Please go there for updates. Current summary is the services db disappeared (though most were already expired anyway) so we have changed services software. We will test this out and see how we like it. If we don't like it we'll switch back to a newer version of the previous services. This testing software is, however, more featured, and includes support for sql which brings new possibilities in advancing in the future. So...we're going to test them. I have disabled expirations for all channels and domains automatically at this time. Channels and nicks will not expire.

Syndicate Discussion

A discussion of the Syndicate... ultimately what we need to do given our own resources. If you have any ideas, post them.

And if you want to help with our location map, please take this source and redo it with readable text

Time for your view!

We are looking to reduce the scale of the game. We are not simulating an entire universe (not that we ever claimed to do so)... we do not have the manpower to even start this. Ultimately we want it to be fun, having a whole galaxy where few people interact isn't something we want to happen. NPCs vs NPCs... boring!

It doesn't mean we won't have galaxy-wide events, significant roles for people to play. But we want to give people clear areas to play in.

We are giving you two options:
- a route along the Corellian Trade Spine
or
- a sector in the Unknown Regions

The first gives us some canon locations to play around.... but we are not sticking to canon. This isn't the exact universe seen in the Classic Trilogy, although we will generally have an environment that is like the Galactic Civil War era.

The second gives us some freedom, with neither group aware of the entire area. However we will have to spend some time to create it (and give you opportunity to add to the universe as well)

Neither location is fixed.. that is, we may venture outside these areas as we feel the story progressing.

The will just be one of the many options we want to put to the players. So go vote and comment:
Scope Changes: Location

New to the game ?

You just signed up, created a character and it got denied ?

Well, make sure to check your Private Messages here, on the OOC board. The person denying that character normally already told you there, what you need to fix ;)

If you haven't created a character yet, be sure to read the rules about character creation first. It'll help you a great deal.

IRC Back Online

We are pleased to announce that the IRC chat server is back online and available for chatting. You can access it by connecting to irc.blazeirc.net or irc.swcic.net. If you would like to use the web-based chat ,please go to ww.blazeirc.net. The main SWCIC channel is #swcic. There are many others - you can find a list by typing /list in the IRC client.

SWR Technical Director

Yes we are still alive!

We are working to revamp the Empire and the game. Given the lack of manpower, we hope to lower the scope of the game to make it easier to maintain and play.

All active members of the Empire should register on the ICCv4 and subscribe to our discussion mailing list. We'll have some more details shortly when things are decided.

Second, Kooro (Ceden) and Mask (Maskan) will share my role as administrator. We will go through all decisions, to make sure they are fair. If any one of us is away, the other two can pick things up.
