Scheduled Update To Users Inbox

Posted on: August 2nd, 2010 by Dave

As our user base grows and the community continues to send more and more messages to each other, we have hit a snag. You guys are now sending and storing so many messages that our database is getting pretty tricky to handle, but thats great, fantastic infact. What’s not so fantastic for our poor little server is users having over 5,500 stored messages, this is because as our user base grows, 5,500 messages per user is not a sustainable figure. Do the math 20,000 x 5,500 = 110,000,000 rows of inbox data. Although we haven’t yet reached that insane figure, thank god, we do need to take some precautionary action to improve the following things.

  1. Improve inbox load speeds
  2. Reduce data redundancy
  3. Improve the efficiency of code and database use

Over the last few days we have been monitoring the situation and as of tommorow at 11:00 game time. We will be implementing a few pre-liminary things:

  1. We will be capping everyones inbox to a maximum of 500 messages and periodically deleting any surplus messages.
  2. We will also be improving and building an archiving system for older messages or inactive players. So they do not effect the speed and efficiency of the service that our active players receive.

If you have any messages you would like to keep then you can move them forward to within your first 500 messages by deleting other messages, or if your feeling particuarly helpful you can simply remove your entire inbox by using the delete all messages, if you have got nothing in there you wish to keep.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Attack Update

Posted on: July 27th, 2010 by Dave

Attack Progress

After alot of deliberation, tinkering and changing of ideas, about a month ago we finally decided after massive planning exactly how the eagerly anticipated attack feature will work. This is the very first time we have revealed anything about it to the players, so keep reading if you want to learn about some of the key elements.


The attack feature consists of 4 main attack types, importantly they offer differing effects.

  1. Attack – A team of up to 7 players can attack another player, if successful they will kill heavies and damage turf buildings. Importantly if the pad health reaches 0% health, the player they are attackings location is revealed and private detectives can be hired to hunt him/her down. Enabling a single player to head for a one on one kill attempt.
  2. Car Bomb – A team of 2 players is required, the leader packs a car full of c4 explosives and a detonator from the weapons store. They then make their way to the enemies turf and attempt to detonate the car bomb and make their escape. If successful, car bombs can do significant damage to a small amount of buildings, disrupting cash flow, lead and bullet production.
  3. Car Heist – A team of up to 7 players can come together, usually as a crew to raid an enemy crews members garage, tooled up to the teeth with 6 new car stealing gadget items, in true gone in 60 seconds fashion they try and make their getaway with as many vehicles as they can.
  4. Loot – A team of up to 7 players equipped with weaponry and special new items such as the duffel bag and the hard cash case can make their way to the enemies turf to steal un-collected rent. If successful a loot attack will kill heavies and bag and grab as much cash as they can fit in their duffle bags and cash suitcases.

Every attack type takes place in a special attack page, with its own team chat to make it easier to organise your goons. The first attack type which is due to be released will be the ‘Car Bomb’. A date for this will be announced shortly.

More to follow.

Mug update and Hospital Importance

Posted on: July 26th, 2010 by dave

Tonight we made a small but significant update to our mug and hospital systems and most importantly how they now interact. Mug has never before carried very much weight, it was a lightweight crime where you could steal a few bucks from a foe or friend, but never taken seriously. As of today, a successful mug attempt on another player will throw them into hospital for a short amount of time so they can recover. If you attempt to mug someone and fail you will also end up in hospital.

A new item has been introduced to shorten your hospital times called a “Morphine” hit. These can be found in the game in the form of morphine syringes and with each one used will reduce your hospital time by 2 minutes.

You can also now steal significantly more cash from another player than before and have an increased likelyhood of really annoying the other player with hospital hits.

Remember if your being hit by mug attempts regularly there are a number of things you can do, hide in your pad, move cities and buy the custody protection from the credits market (this will be available as of later this evening). All of these will prevent mug attempts from being made on you but will limit what you can do in the game (applies to all except flying to another city).

We hope you like it.

Personal Bullet Factory Changes

Posted on: July 20th, 2010 by dave

From now on personal bullet factories will no longer automatically produce bullets.

To produce bullets you must visit your bullet factory from your turf and press the “Produce Bullets” button.

Bullets can be produced once per hour and the size of your factory will depend on the number of bullets that can be produced.

This change will benefit active players as you will be required to visit your factory to continue to produce the bullets.

Crew Zombie Prizes Announced

Posted on: June 28th, 2010 by dave

After alot of hard work to make a prize worthy of winning and after alot of effort was put into the competition we have now released the crew prizes to the top 3 crews in the Zombie Slayer competition.

Each of the crews will have access to “The boss of bosses” from midnight tonight for 7, 5 and 3 days respectively based on the position of the crew in the competition. The boss of bosses gives out a range of exclusive gifts and rewards, some of which cannot be found anywhere else on Street Crime. The boss of bosses will hand out up to 5 gifts/rewards per day.

All the prizes are crew based and therefore in order to get the prizes you must work together as the boss of bosses is only available for 4 hours per day and each gangster can only visit the boss once every 12 hours.

If you manage to collect a gift/reward this will be added to your Crew Loot and the Crew Boss will choose when the gift/reward is to be used. The boss of bosses and the crew loot features can be accessed from the Crew Headquarters.

Congratulations to the crews that worked hard in the competition, better luck next time to those who didn’t manage to finish in the top 3.

Zombie Infection Outbreak 2 – Crew based

Posted on: June 16th, 2010 by Dave

Things have been rather quiet on the streets of Street Crime lately. All of you no doubt are eagerly anticipating the release of kill and attack. So to spice things up a little bit we have listened to some nice suggestions over the past few weeks and taken some action.

Introducing Zombie Infection 2 – A new out break of the zombie virus has occurred 50 miles away from the streets of Street Crime, the first infected are expected to arrive friday at 17:00 game time. Work as a team in your crews to slay the most infected zombies to earn yourself and your crew big prizes.

The top 3 crews will win there crew a unique crew item, which will not be able to be won or bought anywhere else in the game, possibly ever again.

The top 5 players will each win 14 days free memberships, a special badge for there profile identifying them forever more as a top notch hunter of zombies and the following tiered prizes in credit items.

  • Top Killer: 200 credits
  • Second: 150 credits
  • Third: 100 credits
  • Fourth: 75 credits
  • Fifth: 50 credits

Zombies can bite you, in which case you must visit the hospital and buy the anti toxin to be released. Whilst its up to you to buy the toxin as quickly as possible, the longer you leave it the longer the recovery time before you can get back out into the action will be. Also we’ve added a somewhat sadistic twist, whilst bitten and not cured, your profile status will show ‘infected’, whilst you are infected anyone that sends you a message or attempts to mug you will also become infected, make sure you check peoples status’s before you take actions.

Zombies in this outbreak are tougher than before and take a few more bullets to knock down and make sure they stay down. Its also a good chance for you to test out your new weaponry.

To coincide with the outbreak we will also be holding a 20% off credit item sale starting at 12:00 (midday) friday afternoon and lasting through till monday midday 12:00pm game time.
