Back in orbit...

 

That's right: Solaria's blog is back and hopefully to be more inclusive.

With more tools at my disposal, hopefully Solaria can take another step towards being the galactic community I strive for.

Lately I have been in more social circles than before.  With all the pulling together I had been doing, some changes in communication helped me get closer to other cities on Rori as well as other planets in the galaxy.

City and Mayor chat channels are two of the greatest things out there.  Some of you know I had been working on my own mayor channel, but it's much better with the new channel for mayors only.  This will bring together participatory people and their citizens to make events more fun and encourage more community throughout the galaxy.

Many of the cities I have been in contact with are imperial, but all are welcome to Solaria so long as they aren't looking for trouble.  I did flag our city rebel but abstained declaring a GCW region due to our more harmonious nature.

Stay tuned:

Solaria Update(s)

 

It's been a long while, but Solaria was doing a lot of reorganization.  Speaking with fellow mayors and setting some things into play.  The swampy waters may look still, but a current flows (and a lot of decent fishing in those puddles too).

The blog is here for the citizens to come together in a proactive way and have an actual community, just as a guild would.  Solaria is more than one guild, and some have no guild at all.  This is the place to propose ideas or give direct feedback...as why the posts have a comment section.

Next step is what Solaria should do to keep things moving forward.  A forerunner is to have a designated night for all sorts of gathering, as my earlier post.  Since so many cities have 'nefarious' types of rp fare.  Think of it as a teaching city kind of setup, where people can play out stories and have fun but nobody disparaging one another for their styles.  Most every rp city or community assumes you already have your style down...and many forget there's a learning curve in being someone of unique stature. 

Sound off with your feelings, and interest level.

Blog news/updates

The Solaria blog is on hiatus.  I promise this is temporary.

The latest change to the blog itself is the SWG and TCG feed I added to the side column. This way you can come here for SOE quick news rather than wade through the official SWG site. Please let me know what you think of it.

Here are posts to come...

-Citizen of the Month
-Top Solaria donations
-City statistics
-"Goodbye to Romance" recap
-JMara memorial writeup
-Weekly winner (I will announce two)
-Monthly participation winner
-GU16 city hints/tips

Sorry for the delay, but I promise to make it worthwhile.

2010.04.01 Showcase

Making good on my promise, here are some videos to amaze you.

First is footage of capitol ships in action. Ever wanted to dock your ship and step into another? Here's your chance. It is Imperial skewed but we all know Star Destroyers are one of the most impressive ships out there; if not merely the largest in SWG.


Now it's time to lower our altitude. Let's head to the Yarith sector and examine a game expansion called City of the Skies...


And now the bad news. It's April 1st. These are not in game, nor have they been alluded to in future development. It would be fantastic if so, but alas.

Please don't look at this as a negative commentary towards SWG. If you got excited even just a little bit, this means you also feel how much potential SWG still has.

Let's all focus on the positive and lobby towards improving on what is already in game. Rollbacks are impossible...and the state of things now are way better than they were a few years back.

To leave you, this is a strange video which was purported to have been true for a short amount of time. Truth or fiction? You make the call.



Happy April Guerfel Day!
