139 messagesHello everyone,
We are happy and excited to announce the early access to our new event creation tool for players level 60 and more. Only creation is limited to level 60+, it's up to the creator to set (or not) levels limits on his/her event.
It's still beta, it's still rough (although it has been deeply tested), and we dont have any help or faq pages up right now (we figured you coudn't wait any longer
).
The url is http://www.urban-rivals.com/events/new.php
Quick faq:
- There is no page listing all the events, but your friends will be notified (thru the friends feed) of your creation, you can also send the link to the event's page.
- The level required to create an event will be lower upon release.
- There WILL be a full events section on the website.
- Our system doesn't handle automatically cards as prizes, for now.
- Our system DOES handle entry fees and sharing the clintz afterwards (and it's secured, you'll see).
- You can't create your own deck format _yet_, for now, you can only select from the 3 officials formats.
- After setup, it's mostly automatic during a phase (reporting & points calc).
- If you change the scoring rules, it wont recalculate the previous battles.
- All scoring rules are evaluated after a battle.
- Its frickin' fun to do an Event - TRY
Creators, use this thread to share your knowledge

0UC_MeRMaiD - subject is closedDue to the growing number of presets created in the English community. It is just fair for us to state the rules that we follow in regards to them.
This is to clarify why we create presets. Lately, alot of presets have been created for these purposes: Auctions, CR predictions, showing off your collections and etc. These are NOT acceptable.
Presets should ONLY be created for one single purpose. That purpose is to propose deck ideas in the community and use the description to specify the strategy behind the deck.
In the comment page, it is expected for the public to give suggestions, comments and reactions about the deck itself. It shouldn't be used for overly spamming (Discussion that are not in anyway, related to the deck idea).
Presets which are not specifically designed for this purpose will be deleted. If offenses were made in the preset, such as insults in comments, inappropriate titles/ideas and etc, sanction will also be given.
By saying this, we are going be more flexible and allow the following aswell:
- Events/challenges/trivia decks
- Themed decks (Such as tribute decks and fun deck formats --- PROVIDED the actual deck is playable. The players can use the description to do the tribute and fun informations BUT they should also add a bit of information about the deck itself)
- Interesting concept decks (Artworks, difficult star limitations and special abilities, and the likes)

Some players are spamming messages giving a link to a website promising clintz, cards and credits.
On this site, people are asked to give their user name and password first.
This kind of sites are ALWAYS created to scam players and steal their password.
If you try to use this kind of sites, you will never get free cards. It's a lie !!
Your own cards will just be stolen few hours after you gave your password.
NEVER give your password to anybody.

8 messages Force Majeure - subject is closedPlease read the GAME'S RULES..it will answer most of your questions and will help you in the game..
http://www.urban-rivals.com/game/rules.php
Where can I get my free Leaders?
-when you reach certain levels, you get free Leader/s, you can check the link in your homepage to get them
Can I create a dual-account or a multi-account?
-that's a big "NO"..duals and multis are not allowed here, we will deal with them as appropriate..using duals and multis for cheating purposes will likely get the duals banned and for repeat offenders, banning of all the accounts will be an option
What are blacklists and how do I avoid them?
-blacklist is a form of sanction you'll be getting when you cross some lines..(you will not be able to send messages, post messages, talk to friends, communication with you will be blocked)
-the most common forms of blacklistable offenses are: direct insults, DT cheating, ELO cheating, scamming, card theft, fixing fights, multi-account usage and others more (basically, the usual negative things that people do, for more info regarding blacklists, contact one of the Mods)..depending on your number of offenses or how big the issue is..we can move further by banning the account..but..as much as possible, we don't want to go there
What is Customer Support and where do I find it?
-suggestions, technical problems, SMS codes, Alopass codes, credit code and card theft problems, are to be directed here

2 messages Force Majeure - subject is closedThere are several websites out there that promises to give you free clintz, cards, or credits in exchange for your username and password.
here is an example (it was from a Spanish website, translated to English)
Urban Rivals
We have developed a program to create clintz (Urban Rivals of money)
but we have decided quedarnoslo us and not upload to the site by
people who may be abusing the program.
If you want to get clintz free all you have to do is put your data in
the form below with the amount of clintz they need, five minutes later
(which is what it takes to run the program) will have as many as
clintz have.
But there is a ceiling can only be put up 10,000 clintz per day (that
is so that there is no much difference between players of urban
rivals not being noticed much difference).
Username Urban Rivals
Pass Urban Rivals
Number of clintz necessary
-this thread was made to inform you that never under any circumstance do we here at UR would take your username and password for any reason.
-such sites are not from Urban Rivals and it is no way attached to us.
-we do not promote websites such as this and we strongly do not recommend it.
-if you post your Urban Rivals username and password in such a website and you get hacked or the website owner steals your account, you do so at your own risk and we will "NOT RETURN" your losses.
-this is a website likely created just to steal your password.
-for questions and concerns, please contact any of our game Moderators.

One of the most feared creatures in the entire galaxy has just hit the city’s streets - Lennox (U)’s mom, Chlora (C), aka Big Mama. With her on board, the Bangers' enemies will be quaking in their boots. Meanwhile, the Sakrohm can now rely on Jautya (R), while the Junkz welcome Sireen (U) and the Montana enlist the help of Avola (U).

88 messagesCraftier, meaner, crueler but also smaller than the original, Mini Mund (U), the real Sigmund clone, makes his presence felt among the GHEIST. In the face of this significant new recruit, the other clans won’t be outdone. The Ulu Watu welcome Stanly (C) to their ranks, while Glenn (U) joins the Uppers and Pan (R) boosts the Nightmare’s numbers. Get these characters in the shop’s New Blood, Danger and Cool Attitude packs.

134 messagesHello all,
Until now, if you wanted to see characters levels after the first one (art, stats and power), you had to own the card, full. We have decided to change this system. Now you could see all levels.
You'll see all levels art in grey if you don't have this character in your collection. You could also see the stats and power.
Of course with this new system you will lose a bit of surprise effect but you'll know the cards better and will be able to chose which one you want to buy to build your deck. It will also prevent fake stats in cards comments.
Have fun

698 messagesHello all,
Think twice about throwing away your common card doubles. From now on they could earn you Collectors! From Sunday evening, we're going to be organizing a daily grand prize draw giving you the opportunity to win Collectors or Clintz. To take part it couldn’t be easier: when you sell a common card to Kate, as well as the Clintz you’ll receive, you'll also automatically be given 2 tickets to the prize draw to be used at your leisure. As well as that, you'll be given a ticket for that day’s prize draw.
The first draw will take place on Sunday evening with a Lamar Cr (Cr) to be won, and as a one off to celebrate the launch of the Prize Draw, we're also including a DJ Korr Cr (Cr).
You can take part right now by clicking here.
To give everyone a fair chance to decide what they want to do with their cards, we've cancelled all common card sales currently in progress on the market. Good luck to you all and Don (U)’t forget that Kate will only give you a Prize Draw Ticket for common cards.

102 messagesHello everybody,
As our community gets bigger, the need for a new moderator became obvious. After some tough scouting, here we are again.
Let us all welcome our newest EN moderator. I bet many will say “it’s about time”, but hey, better late than never. Let’s give a very warm welcome to ( X ).
I believe he deserve a good old spamming just like what the other moderators experienced as they got promoted. I give you all the permission to send all, and I mean all, your questions to him now. (okay okay, maybe I am just being mean – send most, not all, but yeah, all will be alright too) He he.
Some need to know:
1. You Don (U)’t ask and come to us to be a moderator. We will ask you and come to you.
2. No, we Don (U)’t promote people just because they are nice and full of spice.
3. There are no set criteria for the moderator position, so Don (U)’t ask.
4. Being a moderator does not give you benefits over other players. No inside information.

60 messagesAfter several weeks at sea, the Piranas are back in town and they’re not happy. So to get back ahead of their opponents, they’re more than ready to release their secret weapon - Dante (U), the fearsome dentist.

Hi everybody,
It is obvious that the number of Fanfic threads is increasing.
At the moment, adding a new forum topic in the public message board is not in the top priorities. Not to worry, this doesn’t mean that it is totally ignored. The idea is still under discussion.
For the time being, all Fanfic topics are to be posted under “Introductions and Recruitment” http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewtheme&id_theme=1
Just like most of the topics under this forum, posting your Fanfic requires you to add a tag in the title as well.
[RP] – Tag that you need to put in the title of your Fanfic and/or Role playing threads
We aim to keep all Fanfic threads in one forum rather than see them all over the message board.
This new update will be taken into account immediately. All existing Fanfic threads will not be affected. This will only be applied to new threads up for approval.
Cheers.

We have just released a new version of the game which should please you a lot (we hope it will ). We changed few things on the pillz menu and now you could chose EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME if you want to play in random mode, no random or following the battle room settings.
You will find a new "Preferences" menu on top of the players list in each battle room. You will be able to chose the settings.
If you chose "Normal" : you will play in random mode
If you chose "No random" : you will play in no random mode
If you chose "Any" : the game mode will depend on the choice of your opponents or on the room settings if you opponent has chosen "Any" too.
A player who will chose "Normal" will NEVER play with a player who has chosen "No random".
It's the end of DTs in a mode you dislike. You could play exactly the way you want, all the time.
Have fun !
PS : one of the two ELO battle room will be change in a ELO training zone as there is no point in having a random and no random room any more.
PSé: You could also play in Survivor "Normal" if you want.

We have a new rule in Daily Tournament :
To be taken into account, a match must begin DURING the Daily Tournament. It will still be taken into account if your last match ends after the end of the DT.
Example :
The DT begins at 8:00
You start your first match at 7:58 and it ends ar 8:04 = this match won't be taken into account.
You start your last match at 8:57 and it ends at 9:05 = this match will be taken into account.
