7/14/08 - E-check System Upgrade!: We have upgraded our e-check system for you. You can now safely save your e-check information for convenient future purchases. Also, we are going to ask to validate your checking account in a different way after spending a certain amount. In order to be verified to use your checking account, we will make two small deposits when you’re ready to validate and ask you to input those on a validation page. If they match, you will be able to use that checking account on that RampidGaming account for future purchases just by clicking it and your next e-check purchase will yield you double the points for the regular price. Current verified Big Spenders will be able to save checking account information, but need not worry about waiting to match the two deposits, but also, will not benefit from the double points – as you already have once. We hope this is more convenient for you, as it helps us fight fraud and feel more comfortable awarding points through checking accounts. Head over the e-check purchasing page to check it out! Make sure you check out Part 4 of the Backstory Quest by assisting Allesandra a quest to help Diamond City! Have a great day! --Outwar Staff--

Item statistic increases from gems, have also been edited so that they are the same for each gem. Previously, some gems gave more of an increase than others. As a result, we have updated all current gemmed items, to the new gemming statistics. You may notice a very subtle change in some items. The magic gem has been removed from the treasury for now. All magic gems owned by players have been made tradeable. We hope you enjoy this update! OW_Staff

5/13/08 - Outwar Update: Thank you to everyone that has responded to the site speed thread found in the RG forums. Please continue to send us your information. We made a fix to the crew vault, which was allowing non tradable items to be awarded to players not in the dropped item's raid.

Any new, no trade items dropped, are affected. Names of players eligible to receive the item will appear in the items rollover, on the crew vault page. Life Force of Steinfaust, Life Force of Natas, Life Force of the Corrupter, and Life Force of The Reckoning have all been made tradable! The Staff of Immolation quest has been added back to the game, and the item "Mahamoti's Belt" got it's stats increased. Beatdown Shirts!

If you have something to share, please check out the Outwar Site Speed thread.

5/8/08 - Treasury/Tradeblock Update: We have some very important news for you today. We have made a fairly large change to the tradeblock and treasury. The two site features have merged to become one ultimate Outwar vendor. Long story short, you can now sell your items on the treasury. To sell one of your items on the treasury, first, click your backpack icon in your toolbar. Select the tradeable item you wish to sell by left clicking it, and selecting "SELL". You will then be redirected to "your treasury" page, where you can set a price for your item. Your item will not appear in the treasury until it has a price set. Once you set a price for your item, it can be viewed and purchased by other players on Outwar. If your item sells, you will receive a message in your Outwar mail detailing the purchase. The tradeshout box has also been moved to the right side of the treasury, it works just the same as it always has. Your "15 items for sale" upgrade still works the same with this change. You can list up to 15 items in the treasury. We are still working on advancing the search features, but for now you can use the current search box in the treasury. It has the ability to search item, and player name. We hope you enjoy browsing the revamped treasury, and your items sell more often! -OW Staff.

But in the end, it was †Phöenix Rising† who get to swing the hammer. Congrats †Phöenix Rising†. Zimbob also saw a low ranked crew, ~ Undivided ~, grab a spot in the finals. Congrats •Sanc†ified Socie†y•. It might have been over before it started for Sigil. Grats TFO. That's it for now.
