Age 31 is less then 24hours away
Evening.
The new age in Orkfia Classic is soon about to start, less then 24hours before the game starts (first update is 01:00ST tomorrow night)
The low summer activity is more noticeable then ever, but like its been mentioned before, there will be a big re-relaunch in august so stick around, first goal is to get more active players then Alliances at War, and after that to keep growing!
Do you feel that you can and want to help with this game? If so get in touch with me on either here on the portal or mail/irc me (acwder@hotmail.com)
Cheers

Firefox 3 is finaly released and the blog had another “facelift”
Hey
Im really excited about the release of Firefox 3.
This is the culmination of several years hard work and so far its awsome, it might not be the fastest browser out there but its in my eyes the best browser today. If you havent downloaded it yeat then do it here.
There is also a attempt to become the most downloaded software within 24hours of official release date, so far 2,624,414 ppl have downloaded the new browser, the world record attempt ends in:
Please download Firefox 3 by 11:16 a.m. PDT (18:16 UTC) on June 18, 2008. That’s 11:16 a.m. in Mountain View, 2:16 p.m. in Toronto, 3:16 p.m. in Rio de Janeiro, 8:16 p.m. in Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Rome and Warsaw, 10:16 p.m. in Moscow, and June 19, 2008 at 2:16 a.m. in Beijing and 3:16 a.m. in Tokyo.
Thats taken from their world record attempt site which is found here.
Only downside to this release is that one thing that seems still unfixed from the rc3 version was an error on showing the portal blog, and we couldnt possible have that now could we:P
So said and done I remade a team to fit the forum default style. As you can see there is still some tweaking to do, but Im done for tonight and Im now going to bed.
Last check on the firefox page shows 2,647,359 total downloads currently and when I started writing it was still below 2,600,000

Hello there.
The summer is here in Sweden and with it comes some changes, first of the blog had a facelift and some changes, now you can comment on posts without having to login. A proper menu has finaly been added now aswell, so far its only added to the acid green style for the forum. More features to come.
Im also proud to present the AatW age 14 Changes:

- New alliance ranking: Wars
- New personal ranking: Kills
- Tribe vision shows TPA instead of # thieves
Bugs fixed:
- Bonus thievery credits issue for eagles
- Incorrect 30% mp bonus for eagles (now 35%)
- Requesting merging without a new tribe name
- Research rounded to nearest number in Inner Sights (is now rounded downwards)
- Hidden # thieves from the Internal Affairs table “population”
Other changes:
- Updated the elder/co-elder options interface (clean up)
- Admin Message now also features the elder message
- The Tribe page will no longer show elder message
- The Tribe page will advertise the “Quick out-of-summoning option” more obviously
- Global news now has readable times (might add this to tribe / alliance news also)
- Updated the Racial Stats page to order by popularity and show #s
- All forum posts now show human readable time
There is soon only one week left of the Classic age so a hint is that some of the interface changes might hit Classic aswell.
Stay tuned.
Latest news
Hello there. todays post will consist of the following
- Summer fun
- Site development
- Promoting for post-summer
Summer fun.
As most of you know and Ive mentioned this before, summer time is a ebb for Orkfia and generally most online activities performed by the mainstream online users. We are therefor going to have some fun with renaming the races and their units during this summer (to be corrected again after the summer), first theme we are looking at for next age is most likely a WoW-theme, There will be a topic about this here on the portal forum so check it out for more details and to leave suggestions about other themes we could use.
Site development
Im constantly trying to improve this portal and are looking for ideas you guys might have, if you havent already then sign up on the forum and write a note in the suggestion topic under site development if you have any suggestions.
I have also added login for both Classic and AatW to the right here on the sidebar. I feel that I need to point out that do NOT login from any custom site to orkfia, even tho it might be working the admin of that site might just aswell have added a function to get your user details as soon as you use it.
The only sites Orkfia supports for login is their own homepages www.orkfia.org / orkfia.phpsupport.se , www.orkfiaclassic.com / dinah.phpsupport.se and this portal. We cannot guarantee the safety of your details on any other site.
Promoting post-summer
Due to the ebb caused by the summer we are looking into having a “big” re-relaunch after the summer, ofc we would like you to tell your friends about the game even before the summer is over but we would like to promote the game even more and for that we are putting together a good promoting/marketing team, if you would like to be part of this team then get in contact with any of the staff either on the forum here, ingame or on irc and they will give you more information.
That was all for today, gl & hf
Forum update
The forum here will be closed for an hour or so while we do some updateing and fixing.
When its done we are looking at 8 styles to be voted down to ~2 (+default) so keep an eye open for the poll for it.
Cheers
Bringing the Classic to Classic
First of the dates for the new age has been set. at 00:00 between the 15th and 16th there is gonna be a soft reset removing the update button, then at 00:00 between the 16th and 17th the game will go live, having the first update at 01:00. The Age will then end 4 weeks later 00:00 between 14th and 15th of May.
It is always nice to hear about the old times in Orkfia, but this thing blew my mind. I was talking to Immo a little bit when he suddenly accused me of cheating, after a few “lolerz, torskz and wtfzrs” he then showed me this link and it seems like the orkfia portal been around for a while:P
To honour this, Im creating a Hall of Fame on the forum where I want to gather Alliance stories, past members, past banners and everything you can think of. If you would happen to have any intel on this then help me help you:)
News, pre changes in Orkfia Classic and new information on orkfia-portal
Hello there.
The development team is busy busy setting up the changes for next age, what I can bring you is a glimpse of what is awaiting for you all. Im giving you here the top three biggest changes (at this point and not counting with race changes) for classic next age.
- 4 week age instead of the normal 6 week.
- A new warsystem like the one that just hit Alliances at War which brings larger ranges etc.
- Raid nerfed to void all out attacker alliances raidkilling everything early age.
This will indeed be an interesting chain of events and hopefully this will spice up the game enough without destroying the “orkfia” we know of. Instead of having a five week labpump followed by maximum a week of war this might bring more action in overall.
Here on the Orkfia-Portal we would like to expand and take into consideration everything you as an player wants to make this place and the game as a good experience and good time as possible, so if you feel anything here is missing please get in contact with us, either on the forum here or email us at admin@orkfia-portal.com
Orkfia-Portal can now also offer free subdomains for your alliance if you want for example an information page about just your alliance. We can also offer free email acounts yourname@orkfia-portal.com if you would be interested in either of these get in touch with Acwder either on irc or on admin@orkfia-portal.com
Cheers
