NSE Circuit: December Newsletter
You can find our full newsletter at NSE Circuit.

http://nsecircuit.com/news/dec15newsletter/

We have a lot of great news to announce for December! First off we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! We are looking forward to a new a productive year in 2016. Looking back, we've gotten all 4 games greenlit and published on steam in less than 1 year! That is amazing and could only have been accomplished with your continued support. We are going to continue to work hard to meet your demands and your expectations of us, and we are incredibly thrilled and appreciative of your continued support for our games.

New NSE Circuit Launcher:

We've updated our launcher for Fasaria World Online and AoF Chess Club with a new one that should correct a lot of issues players encountered before, it is also updated with a snazzy look and feel so enjoy and post your input and opinions on the changes.

New Website & Shop:

We've updated our website with a new design and our community has been updated with better functions and community features for easier navigation. We will also be having monthly give aways and discount coupons exclusive to registered members so look out for those as well.

Trial Access & Demos:

We will be announcing our trial and demo access for each game in 2016. This should be an interesting way to allow players to experience our games and community while also inviting friends and other players to do the same. More info about our upcoming demos soon.

AoF World Online Private Servers:

We are considering providing an opportunity for players to host their own private servers while also being able to build their following of players from our community. All players who download the trial version will only have access to play on the private servers but for free. This will make it easy for those who own the private servers to invite players while getting new ones right from our community. If we do decide to do this, we will also offer community opportunities to help private server owners to build their network as well. We will also open up our workshop on steam where developers can modify the server scripts and share it or sell to other players. If this is an idea you support, please vote by posting in our discussion board thread below "I support this idea".

Fasaria World Online New Update:

We are working hard on a new expanded version of the game (no cost to current players) that will offer more levels, areas, gear to buy and a lot of other cool features. We have a lot planned for 2016 for updates and community growth. Look for the expanded version later this month.

Angels of Fasaria 2.0 Online Game and Future:

We are still working on the outline and plans for the online game which will require more time, planning and community building. We want to be sure this game does well when we put it forth in 2017. We are still looking for players who own the game to volunteer for alpha testing which we plan should start early next year. We will be heavily involved with the community and their input for the online game's development. So far we have Angels of Fasaria in the works for a re-make for the RPG and the online game is looking like it will be bundled with the game. Players who sign up and get active in testing will be guaranteed free copies of both. Those who already have a copy of Angels of Fasaria 2.0 will only have an opportunity to claim a copy of the online game.

Please sign up for alpha testing in the thread below:

Showing Your Support for the Community:

We will be working hard from now on in building the community and it's involvement. We don't believe showing support is as simple as posting a review or by just receiving public approval as we have seen that such can never genuinely express the heart of it's community. The support will come only with your voice, your input, your ideas and your participation within the community. Such are vital to us as a company and to the future of the community you've helped to build. If you support our company and want to see more come out of our games, join the community on NSE Circuit and contribute your thoughts and ideas and encourage others to do the same. We will be working very closely with our players from now on to build a reliable, cohesive, friendly and active community. With every newsletter from now on, we will open a discussion for your thoughts starting now. Please post your thoughts, opinions, suggestions or ideas concerning this last newsletter in this thread.

We added a new game launcher for Fasaria World Online and Ancients of Fasaria Chess Club. This new launcher is a lot better and more stable. It will also allow you to launch either game directly from the launcher's browser without having to leave the interface or launch out of a new browser. This will make both games a lot more accessible for steam users. Make sure you log out of steam client and then log back in for the full update.

Chat Box - A chat box has been added for each club for members to post chat messages in. You must be in a club to view your club's chat messages and to engage in chat.

Match Lobby & Chat - A match lobby has been added where you can select your player style and organize matches with other players.

NSE Circuit Administration

Updates to All Clubs
All Clubs have been updated to require an Elo score to be maintained to stay on the Club's ranking list. The "Top Pawn" club now requires you to complete at least one game in order to show up on the list.

These changes should ensure that players of a certain level only appears on the list making the clubs more effective.

Changes in August
1. Emotes now added to the game chat when playing against a player.

2. You now have 7 days to make a move or your opponent can declare the game abandoned and will win the match if you moved at least one turn anytime during the match. If you made no move then there will be no penalty.

The penalty should make it more fair for each game and encourage players to complete open matches. One month was just too long to wait for a game to be considered abandoned.

About Our Progress... 7-24-15
The input has been great and very helpful. So far players are joining fine as the community is slowly growing with hundreds of members so far but finding reliable matches seems to be an issue. We want this online chess game to be community driven and we want it to become very active.

We have a few fresh ideas along with user input that will help us create a better community. We estimate that these new additions we will be adding will allow for more solid matches.

Please continue to give us feedback as we take all suggestions seriously and we listen to all input. Please be a little patient with us as we modify the game and add new features.
