In with the old, in with the new…

Well there has been quite a gap inbetween the last Orkfian Times and this article, although by OT standards it’s hardly any time at all.. In those few months some things have gone back to the ways of old and some things are entirely new.

Looking at the in-game forums for Classic, the world-famous (it literally is!!) “Ye Olde Lion’s Den” has re-opened for business and is currently settling back in to the role it had years ago as one of the all-time most popular threads in Orkfia’s seven year history. The Infinity and Classic forums show us that not only are new people constantly joining Orkfia, the “old” players are like boomerangs. One thing is sure about Orkfia, once you have been hooked you will always return no matter how long you leave for.

Classic is slowly gathering pace, although it currently seems to be dominated by pink power in the form of our very own barbie girls GNS. Whilst GNS’s Barbies are doing an admirable job of keeping Classic in order, the game is crying out for a decent alliance to rival them. Maybe what we need is an alliance of Microwaves to melt all that plastic.

In Infinity time rolls on and things are constantly being improved and tweaked to improve the gameplay. Under Martel’s leadership it has evolved into a very playable game but again many of the players suffer from a lack of competition.

Both game versions show a lot of promise and have a dedicated, cult following and with the stability we have now things can only keep getting better.

In a brand new development Admin Acwder has been constructing the new “Orkfia Portal” which I guess you must know about since you are looking at it right now… Although the Portal is still in development,  it is hoped that this will come to replace the current set up of Orkfia so you can find all the Orkfia related sites – Classic, Infinity, The Forums, The OT and the Orkfian Faces all on this one site.

 

The domain has been paid for, content is already in place and the forum is up and running.  You are free to make a forum account and start posting right now (go for it!!), once the forum is more populated there will be design competitions along with silly contests and the usual Orkfian rantings. Also as always The OT is very interested to hear from guest writers and the faces page needs more people. Email your submissions for the OT and the Faces page to orkfia@sky.com and they will be uploaded. With the new layout of the OT it is possible to make comments on the articles featured so all fan/hate mail is welcome.
It is also planned that Martel and Acwder will take it in turns writing a weekly “blogg” article to keep everyone updated with the latest staff news.

With all the game improvements underway and a hot new look for Orkfia we just need to bring in the people who will learn to love Orkfia as much as we do… Then we can kill them and the real fun can start
