Everyone will probably agree that these are exciting times both for the iPhone game developers and for the players. The long and highly anticipated 3.0 firmware is finally coming out tomorrow!
We would like to take a minute and summarize what does this new firmware mean for the Underworld and other MMO & location based games.
By popular demand, we have created a new pack of 50 UW points.
Seems like the shortest post on our blog, evah! 
30 UW Point Pack has just been published in the AppStore. The best part about it is that the point pack is completely free!
Get it now until it’s out there!
For those who are unfamiliar with the whole
Another popular use is that sometimes you are getting second thoughts about upgrading too soon. Refunding equipment makes it possible to rethink what you have done
The same as with point packs, you can purchase
In exchange for Underworld points, you can now get detailed info about supply & demand in your area.
For 10 UW points, a local cartel member will tell you what labs & addicts exist on your current tile and what are their prices. He also knows when the situation will change.
Visit Underworld to check it out.
I’m sure you have noticed something new going on in Underworld lately. Many of you didn’t like the changes big time ;)
What has really happened is that the game now gives the advantage to dealers who interact with one another or move from place to place often. Here is how it works.
Back then, you were able to find a lab, pack yourself full with cheap stuff and then just wait until the demand refreshes in the area and addicts will buy your overpriced sweets. This ‘sit and wait’ strategy doesn’t work anymore.
A selection of commodities available in supply & demand on each tile is changing less often now. Moreover, you won’t find the whole variety of sweets on one tile. Some of them you will have to bring from other areas.
When there’s a lab on the map next to you, your best choices are:
Same thing with demand. With an addict located on your tile, you can either purchase merchandize from the dealers in other places or take a walk to another tile.
Basically, this means dealers must interact with each other and share profit. Moreover, the tile refresh time is enough for the traffickers to negotiate over the price and setup stable supply chains.
Underworld economy statistics reports a huge increase of dealer’s profits for the last three days. Bad times are in the past indeed
Phew! Underworld: SweetDeal 1.1 has just been submitted to the AppStore. Hoping guys from Cupertino are going to approve it till the end of this week.
Ok, the main question, as always, is what exactly did we prepare for you in 1.1?
The first and the most important feature of this release is Facebook Connect support. As any other MMO, Underworld is not only about making progress, but also about socializing. Bring your Facebook account into the game to communicate with friends, observe each other’s game achievements and struggle to the top of Friends Cream of the Crop. More details on that will follow in a separate post soon.
Another highly demanded feature added is stock controls. Review your current stock and dump something if you need space quickly for another commodity.
Cream of the Crop now will let you open dealer’s profiles, view their details and communicate. Finally, we did that
The last, but not least — we have put a lot of effort to fix all the known bugs and improve the overall game stability. Yes, «black screen» bug is in the past too
As usual, we’ve put out already implemented features from the roadmap and about to add some new stuff we are getting from the suggestion box. The work has begun on the next version!

Hi everyone! Last night was sure tough. It was brought to our attention that some greedy cheaters hacked UW point packs. Which is kinda common thing happening to paid apps in AppStore, but still…
We would like to say two things regarding that.
First, we have found the solution to recognize unfair play and subtract leaked UW points. So, bad guys will be punished, just give it a time:)
Second, we can assure you all the honest UW players that the global game balance wasnt seriously affected, and the effect will be undone soon.
Keep rollin’ in Underworld!
