The GMs can probably pinpoint the exact date when SC was launched, but I'm pretty sure Simcountry's 25th anniversary is around the corner.

It's a very nice round number, and I'd hate for the date to go by without any sort of acknowledgement.

I'll put something together on my end, but I'd like for everyone to pitch-in some ideas.

The earliest wayback machine entry is 29 May 2001. I think somewhere in there I say an archive page that the dates the worlds came online. Seeing if I can find that again.

Free Playing Worlds - No Cost
Kebir Blue This world is somewhat like the world we live in. The way the economy works is similar. However, in this world, it is easier to create a defense against attacks and harder to create an offensive army. This world was created on April 19 2001.

Fearless Blue The fearless blue world is not as peaceful as the Kebir blue world. Countries see more benefit is waging war and war damage is not as davastating. Defense is very important. It is easier to conquer a country or to be defeated by others. This world was created on July 17 2001.

White Giant This world is somewhat like the world we live in. The way the economy works is similar. However, in this world, it is easier to create a defense against attacks and harder to create an offensive army. This world was created on August 06 2001.

Gold Worlds - Monthly fee is $5.00

Golden Rainbow Golden Rainbow is intended to be a friendly world where the economy will be the winner. War remains part of the game and defense is essential but when good defense is taken care of, the goal will be to build a strong economy to win. Golden rainbow has several additional features and winners will receive significantly higher awards. This world was created on April 01 2002.

In an imaginary world, we could get a tiny little planet running for say a period of 3 month, one time thing or a periodic reset, without asset transfers from outside of any kind, where the celebration could take place. Oh wait, someone imagined this before. Back to the drawing board.

Come to FB guys.

Hello everyone,
Old timer here returned back (after decades).

I suggest a new galaxy, a new galaxy where everything is fast, uunrestrained, easy, open to all but never permanent. Reset every week maybe?

Its where veteran player can release some steam, pro can test new strategy, intermediate can see what solution available to a certain problem, newbies can touch/exposed to the water, freeloader *couch*me*cough* can evaluate what premium membership offers, devs can test new stuff or whats not etc etc. There opportunity and promises in that new short-lived galaxy.

On game marketing, it will repromote the game to broader, new and younger audiences. Something like "a reboot". Mobile games usually marketing it as 'new/beta/preview/to be launch/etc server' while its actually ran for over 2 years already. Why not simcountry copy that matketing strategy? Its really new server afterall - every week.

Since its a new galaxy, nothing will reach this one of course. That include gold coins, account storage etc. its separate galaxy. Lets keep the game founder wishes - let the game economy etc run by itself.

I have few more suggestions but for now, lets bring new blood to the game.
