A new world called TownShip is being set up for the gatherings. All citizens are encouraged to attend for an open discussion. Come hear the latest changes and news in OW.

In order to keep a semblance of order and to avoid mass confusion, Likee will not be able to accept whispers or grams during the meeting.

OW gets an online facelift!

Guardian has spent the last few weeks redoing the OW website and the way the meta tags are placed and read. If you do a search, you will find that the OW listing has moved up considerably in the placement on a lot of major search engines.
Guardian also upgraded the OuterWorlds Help Pages online, and now there is even a map of the new entry world to help the new tourist’s find their way around when they come into OW.
