Update Troubles Over

Dear Junkies,
After fighting a bit with the server, Junk: Battles is now at update #8!

A New Town Emerges
Drybrook City and surrounding area are now open for exploration. Drybrook is known throughout Brokin as a trading hub, and the Drybook Merchant's Union controls all aspects of trade and commerce in the area.

6 New Quests
But, things never run smoothly in the world of Brokin. You'll have six new quests to take on in Drybrook, that will pull your pilot deeper into the intrigue of the Union -- and maybe a good deed or two along the way.

You can view a full changelist for the update here.

Junk: Battles wins CNMA Award

Last night was a big night. Junk: Battles had been nominated as a finalist in the Canadian New Media Awards, for Best Innovative Web-based Game, and the founders of Antic went to Toronto for the event.

Junk was up against Frima's Build-A-Bearville and Social Game Universe's Avastar Social -- and Junk won!

We'd like to thank all of our families, friends, and most especially, our players, for giving us the support and feedback we need to make Junk: Battles the most innovative web-based game out there -- and to continually make it better from week to week.

Downtime

It seems that although the physical move of our server went very smoothly on early Friday morning last, the virtual moving of internet routing to our new server's location... not so much.

We apologize to everyone who experienced the 2.5 hour outage due to this mishap. We're hoping this is the last of the interruptions, we'll keep you posted if any are planned to occur again.

Planned Server Outage

With the addition of the world map and questing features, the latest update has proven to be very popular. In the week of the update, we've had four times the battles logged on the server than usual. We're glad you like it, and there are new quests in the works already. I can't tell you about them, though... the bandits will get me.

However, this silver lining is not without its cloud. Our hosting provider is moving physical locations, so Junk:Battles will be down for at least 1-2 hours. The move will happen Friday, November 27th at 1:00am EST.
