[quote Gabriel]We already have a nice 2nd anniversary present…we’re doing our best to give it in time :D[/quote]

So let’s guess what this will be! If i’m right the anniversary is the 29-08-09?

You’re right about the date. We gave some clues to a few people about the present. I hope you guys like…we like it very much!

it will be big, that we guarantee…

can I trade in my present for ruby dollars? :)

Of course…NOT! :D

I dont think you would want to trade it, after you see what we are talking about…

Will RS come out of beta and become pay-to-play ? =)))

My guesses… :D

1- A new dimension
2- National teams
3- A new dimension with national teams :P

Should I give a hint? I don’t know…I’ll tell you we’re not going pay-to-play, so Alban is wrong. but you’ll see things in a different way.

You may like it or dislike it, but I doubt anyone will be like “whatever…” :)

Oh, and don’t worry if the treat is not what you were expecting, interesting and big improvements will come before the 3rd anniversary.

Already 2nd anniversary? The time pass so fast. National teams will be nice. And I hope new countries because I think that will atracts players from other countries.

i didn’t want any fancy improvements…
A simple periodic re-calculation of players “value” would have been a great starting by turn 1 of season 28…

I plan 3 great enhancements for our next year: match engine reformulation, world cup with clubs and national teams.
About the recalculation, I can certainly work on that soon, it’s not that hard. At least people will stop asking me to recalculate their players value individually :D

Danilo, was it worth a burger?

half. :D

Hum… Are gona have a new look?

This is just a suggestion, I know that the nest enhancements will be for the anniversary and this is what Gabriel said
“I plan 3 great enhancements for our next year: match engine reformulation, world cup with clubs and national teams.”

But, how about more nations?

If there are more teams added to the game, I think it should be ideal if the decision of what nation to include can be based from the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) this is the latest list of the first 25 National Leagues and the points they received. (IN 2008)

• Nation already in RS

*1. England 1192,0
*2. Italia 1031,0
*3. Argentina 1020,0
*4. España 952,0
*5. Brasil 942,0
*6. Deutschland 922,0
*7. France 847,0
8. México 683,0
*9. Portugal 649,5
10. Ukraina 620,0
11. Türkiye 599,0
12. Greece 597,5
*13. Nederland 573,0
14. Chile 564,5
15. Perú 553,5
16. Colombia 553,0
*17. Russia 549,5
18. Danmark 546,5
19. Belgique 536,5
20. Scotland 527,5
21. România 472,0
*22. Uruguay 466,5
*23. Paraguay 463,0
24. Ecuador 444,0
25. Česká Republika 439,0

As you can see 8 of the first 10 leagues are in Ruby Soccer. I personally think that we need more Nations from America, not just South America but also North and Central America. To even out the competitions, (because as we all know, with only 4 nations in SA Brazil will always be the best.:-\ ) (Even though South America belongs to CONMEBOL and North America belongs to CONCACAF.)

More nations will be constantly added, Jesus. Our plan is to add all South American and European nations before including other continents. Of course we may change our mind ;)

Interesting list, Turkey and Greece are already in our plans, I see Ukraine is a good candidate as well.

when do we get our anniversary treat? :)

Hopefully today, even though the right date is tomorrow we don’t wanna have to fix any bugs during the weekend :D

that will be great:)

Did you guys like it? :)

AhAH my 4th guess was right :D It looks great Gabriel, it is slower than the old one (at least in my pc) but I guess you are still working on that, I like it more without the miniatures, the menus are great.

Happy birthday to us :D

Thanks Filipe, anyways we are working on the rough edges of the layout.. and probably will be for the next few months ;)

I told them the miniature layout is evil, but they won’t listen ;) Nevertheless we’d like the users to have more options, initially we also had a third layout option called “Tiny”, which might be added at a later date.

PS: I didn’t do the newspaper part, don’t blame me guys

first impression is great… will keep posting gradually about my thoughts……

so…what did we get then? :) Did I miss something? :)

just to clarify that some things were only “ported” to the new layout, without adjustments. those will come next. the newspaper is a good example of this situation.

and do blame Franca for the newspaper, I asked him to work on that screen and he did not have time to do it. :D
