Recently, I received a message from mikeD Streeter informing me about the changes that they did in The Roman Empire sim.  The Roman Empire is the flagship sim of RPG Empire. As far as I know, the success of The Roman Empire gave birth to other empires which later on became the RPG Empire continent in Second Life.

The Training Ground Fort

The first change I noticed is at the landing area. More shops were added and the floor texture was changed as well. I also noticed that the pillars that supports most, if not all, of the shops are now colored red and most of the textures that make up the shops were changed too.

It’s a sad day for everyone in RPG Empire specially those who are part of Samurai Japan because in less than ten days the sim known as Samurai Japan, together with another sim, will be closed. Seriously, the notice came as a surprise to me because I thought, when Ireland and Scottland were closed, that no other RPG Empire sim will be closed as stated in a notice but I guess I was too naive to believe it.

The New Training Arena. Too bad noone would get to enjoy using it anymore!

The reason stated as to why Samurai Japan is closing is that it simply just died. Aw! I guess it just didn’t receive the support it desperately need. I remember a group notice from the Empress saying that only one fighter came to participate in a scheduled tournament and only two came to join a raid. With such turn-outs, no wonder Samurai Japan is closing. [...continue reading Samurai Japan is Closing!]

The first day of the 100,000L$ Bitter Thorns was held at The Spartan Empire sim last September 13, 2008 and I was there to witness a few of the fights and to take some snapshots, of course. Registration for that day’s tournament started at 8:00AM SLT (Second Life Time) and ended at exactly 11:00AM SLT. Fighters and warriors from other sims, even outside of RPG Empire, came to participate. Even my friend Boying Ansar and fellow fisherman Magos Destiny registered to fight.

100K Registration @ Sparta

I didn’t participate in the tournament but I did watch a few matches. The fights were held in The Spartan Empire’s arena but the fighters were asked to stay in The Roman Empire’s coliseum. They were to be summoned to The Spartan Empire when it was their time to fight. This strategy greatly reduced the amount of lag which usually accompanies huge events like this one!

It seems that RPG Empire decided to make the Empire of France sim into a Roleplay/Combat sim again. You see, a few weeks before, the Empire of France sim was changed into an open kind of sim that does not involve RP nor Combat. This happened when the people who were assigned to it left RPG Empire. Fortunately, the Empire of France sim is back and it is once again a Roleplay and Combat sim.

The new queen of the Empire of France is none other than mikeD Streeter’s partner, Sandralee Streeter. Together with a few other people, they are now in the process of rebuilding the Empire of France. [...continue reading The New Empire of France]

I received a message from mikeD Streeter informing me about the closure of two RPG Empire sims, Scotland Highlands and Ireland RP. He didn’t give me the reasons for the closure of the two sims but in an Open Letter sent to everyone as a Group Notice, he explained why the two sims were closed.

Scotland and Ireland Closed

After reading the letter, I can understand why they were closed but I guess for some the decision won’t be that easy to understand. The points mentioned in the Open Letter are:

• sims within RPG Empire should have good RP between each other
• tiers were not renewed
