Hello to all our Moroccan players !

A great many players asked us for another payment method than credit card.
As you all know, we don't handle payments directly, we have recourse to partners.
We are not decision-maker about opening new payment methods for a country.

Good news for Moroccan players : Ticket Surf has now a partnership with Jaybi (http://www.jaybi.ma) which allowes you to purchase credits on Urban.

Good game !

I'm glad to announce the arrival of a new member in the moderation team.
Welcome to Daexen WMD as our new american moderator.

I remind you that it's not necessary to flood our mailboxes to ask how to become a moderator (or just ask StormWhisper. I know she loves answering that question all day long ). A player has poor chances to become a moderator by asking.

Let's give Daexen a warm welcome !

We made a mistake with the second round of the Miss Clint City competition. Tank is in La Junta and shouldn't be part of the Cool Attitude vote. We can't remove or replace her as players can only vote once and lots of people have already cast their vote. Votes for her will still count tho so Action gets another contestant at the expense of Cool Attitude. Sorry to the Cool Attitude fans.

In order to rebalance ELO mode and to make it more interesting, we’ve decided to lift the ban on Wanda and Baby Q (Pussycats) and instead to ban Lyse Teria Cr (Montana), Alec (Rescue) and Zatman (Uppers). These changes will come into effect from Monday May 26th

I would like everyone to help me welcome in our newest moderator 0UC_Mermaid! We're very proud to have her on staff, and she is the long awaited NZ/Aussieland moderator y'all so begged us for

We were getting there, we promised Selecting a mod isn't an easy process for us, so we like to make sure we're offering the positions to the right people. And before you all start flooding my inbox with "Can I be a moderator? How do you choose a moderator?" I can answer those questions for you now. 1) No. 2) I'm not telling you, partially because there is no set criteria.

At any rate, I do not want do detract for the addition of our newest catch from the deep-sea! And remember 0UC_Mermaid is 100% Dolphin Free! *hides the netted dolphins and walks away whistling and then runs away from Mermaid before she is killed*

Their enemies were hoping that Lamar Cr’s departure would have weakened them and that they’d never get back on top form. How wrong they were… With the arrival of Allison and Robb, the All Stars are ready to take on anyone. And with Pam and Frida now on board, the Rescue are making it clear that they’re definitely here to stay.
Get these characters in the shop’s Action and New Blood packs.

Summer’s just around the corner and you still do not know where to go!! Urban Rivals has thought of everything. We’ve got an exciting Summer of Clint City lined up for you.
Just stay connected and we’ll take care of the rest.

We are aware of the bug currently affecting ELO which is not recording scores. I have personally reported it. Unfortunately it's 4am in France. So please be patient. We will let you know as soon as it's fixed.

StormWhisper

Sorry guys, a last minute change yesterday introduced a bug for players "hidden" when they tried to join a room.
This has been fixed.

Again, really sorry.

I wanted to welcome our newest Moderator, Force Majere. She is new so feel free to Hammer her with questions instead of antagonizing me

Seriously though, it's about time we got some more girls on staff. Unless I'm about to look very stupid if Pumpkin and Symbolic have been lying to me, but I'll blame it on them because as we all know, I'm perfect.

At any rate, I want to welcome aboard our new staff member. *does a Kermit the Frog cheer as she runs offstage*

Even during the holiday period, the team is hard at work coming up with new ideas to improve your gaming experience.

Today we are delighted to be able to announce a whole range of changes and updates that we hope you'll enjoy.

Firstly the Survivor mode has finally passed its test period. We've reviewed and increased the Clintz rewards you can win and we’ve added credits for the best players of the day, week, month and Deck format. You can therefore put together series in all the available Deck formats to try and increase your winnings.

We’ve also used this opportunity to increase the prizes awarded in the ELO tournaments: not only for those players who have high scores but cannot get into the top 25, but for everyone else too.

We’ve also decided to apply the challenging rules in Survivor mode to all the other competition modes (daily tournaments, ELO, etc.): visibility and Quick Battle are obligatory, refusals are forbidden.

Another much awaited change is that we've completely updated the ranking system: your rank is now directly linked to the percentage of the collection you own (no more respect points) and we’ve added 4 new grades (Veteran, Hero, Legend and Divinity).

We had an unfortunate case where a number of players were scammed by the owner of these two accounts. While we have put an end to the scamming a number of people have not had their cards/clintz returned.

If you are one of those people, please contact me. I will be checking vs the sales history and the known guilds she has joined and left. I have already asked some of those guild leaders to inform their guilds about this and hopefully this announcement will get the rest.

We of the Urban Rivals Staff deeply apologize for this unfortunate event. However we have put an end and now all that is left is to clean up the mess.

Thank you for your understanding.
