If anyone registered an account and played HMW between the database switchover on Sunday and the crash on Thursday, and lost their account in the crash, it may be possible to link up your pre-crash HMW data with the new account you've created since then.

Please visit this forum thread and post your details as soon as possible to allow me the best chance of retrieving your HMW data. Thanks.

As you may be aware, SEIBERTRON.com is going through a few changes at the moment. Several players have reported that they're unable to log in to the game, so here's how you do it:

1) Go to the Members link on the top menu bar
2) Log in as normal
3) Click the Game link to get back to HMW

I've made a couple of minor changes to the HMW interface to try to make this as smooth as possible. Please bear with us while the kinks are ironed out.

Thanks!

Since I believe I've finally got all the Energon problems sorted out, I figured it's time to give out some slightly-belated presents!

Everyone just received 20 times their characters' worth in XP and Energon, if I got my sums right. Enjoy!

Also, since I finally sorted out the issue with auto-CR payments and negative Energon, I've cancelled the debts of everyone who'd gone into the red and given enough credit for everyone to be on at least €5,000. I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Depressedagainuk_679 for managing to work up the biggest € debt at a whopping -€183,570... ;-P

Happy New Year to all the HMW players out there!

Hi folks!

We're looking into the possibility of setting up an area or areas in HMW specifically for players to enjoy roleplaying their characters. Note that this wouldn't be linked to the official SEIBERTRON.COM RPG but would just be a discussion area for people who enjoy a little RP.

If you're a HMW player but don't currently use our discussion forums, I'd like to invite you to have your say and vote in the poll here!

Cheers!

Site was down for maintenance ...

Hey guys,

Just letting you know that SEIBERTRON.com was down for some emergency maintenance. 2 tables had become corrupted in Heavy Metal War but I was able to save all of the data I believe with a little creative effort. Please let us know if you come across any errors while playing HMW. I apologize the site didn't come back sooner: I had to wait until my break to resolve what I was trying to fix during my lunch hour earlier. Thanks!

HMW: New missions and increased bonuses

You may have noticed that there are some new missions showing up in the lists... Credit for these goes to a number of HMW players who posted their ideas in the HMW discussion forum - thanks! I'm still looking to add more missions as we go along (how many times can the Decepticons blitz Vector Sigma or make a pass at that Nucleon anyway? ;-]) so if you have a great idea for a new mission, post it in the forum and there's a good chance you'll see it appear in the game!

And if you're paying attention, you'll also have noticed that the XP/€ bonuses for winning a mission have been increased in proportion to the mission level. Now you should have a good chance of making a decent return from missions even if you're not the top performer. If you just stick to the arena for all your battles, now might be a good time to give the missions a try - you're missing out on at least half the game if you don't!

HMW is back online!!!

The transition to the new server has gone incredibly faster than I had anticipated. Heavy Metal War, the addictive online Transformers game that you guys just can't seem to get enough of, is now back online after being down the past 48 hours. Please post any problems you experience in this thread so Glyph or I can take a look at the problem as fast as possible.

The new server should bring many years of fun to this website without having a hectic period of time like this past weekend with us getting slammed with traffic. The new server will be extremely fast compared to old one ... once and for all eliminating this site's server issues regardless of how much movie traffic we get over the next few years.

Without further ado ...

I've got my Autobots waiting in the Arena. Decepticons - BRING IT ON!!!!

HMW Admin Maximus Prime has posted the following notice in the HMW discussion forum. Please let us know what you think!


"I'd like to ask you all, as the players of the game, feel about how things are going so far.

"Are you happy with the direction we're going with things? Are you okay with the pace of things? Are you fine with waiting for the big 'relaunch' or are you getting impatient and want it now? Are you happy with the job Glyph is doing with the programming so far, or what would you like to see him do differently? The mods, admins and programmers... how are we all doing? If things stopped where they are and the version we have now became the 'final' version would you be okay with that, or are you just hanging out waiting for more stuff?

"There's no need to answer my questions above point-for-point, but let us know what you think. We can only improve things if we know what the players want. :D"
