Maxithlon - Track and Field Online Game

Today we start an interesting series of news regarding the new design that, barring accidents, will be released on 13th August 2009.

The first detail introduced today regards the athletes list, one of the most important and most viewed site's page.

We want to point out to Maxithlon comunity an important news. Starting from the release of the next version of Maxithlon, planned for middle August, the development team will not support the web browser Internet Explorer 6.

Anyone still using this browser (according to the game statistics, about 7.5% of the users still use it, even if this percentage is quickly decreasing) should consider the installation and use of an alternative browser, to avoid problems of visualization with the new web site.

This decision has been taken to allow the site growth and, mostly, to avoid the waste of precious time during the development of the site, trying to make the site compatible with this old browser.

For further information, please take a look to http://www.stopie6.com/.

Here are other changes that will be introduced in the game starting on the next seasons.
 

Weekly prize on National League
We noticed that few users know that each week the club sponsors calculation have a parameter which consider the ranking in the weekly event of NL. To make it more clear, starting on the next season, this amount will be added as a single item in the weekly budget of your club. We remind you that the amount is calculated basing both on the rank of the event and on the series of NL.

TV incomes
From season 20 there will be a new weekly income for all the clubs: TV incomes. It will be a constant income for all the season, depending on own league level and on the number of active levels in your nation.

The details of the TV incomes are available here:

Individual awards
From season 20 we will change the national individual awards calculation formula, using the same formula of world games awards, we think it's more meritocratic for all the positions. Anyhow the first place will not be modified. Then, the awards will be:

Relays
The target is to finish the beta phase and start using the relays from next season in the National League and Club Championships events. For this reason, during

Even if a bit slower than the previous Seasons, we're honoured to say that, once more, our beloved game keeps growing, under all the aspects.

No new Nations... But the development is still running!
Badly, for the 1° Season from the game's birth, no new Nation will be created in Maxithlon... This mainly due to the fact that, as we've already anticipated you, the effort of the developing team's work is completely dedicated to Maxithlon's redesign process.

Anyway, with this News we'd like to announce you all the League expansion of Hungary, Nation created only druting the last Season (17), and lots of new Staff members!

Hungary grows
Created together with Ukraijna, as we've written few lines above, after just 10 weeks from its creation, Hungary, with 32 Users, expands its NL from the only Gloden League, to the 2nd NL level, a clear sign showing us that Maxithlon is moving in the right direction also in the newest Countries!

New Staff members
Maxithlon's Staff has always been a "work in progress" area!
In order to provide to our users always a better service and in order to try to follow the various national Communities, both in terms of customer care (Staff's answers in the user's language, Moderation of Federations), and also regarding the Nation's development, we are trying to provide every Nation with onre or more User(s) to which the Users of its Commuity have to rely for any kind of problem they might have.
Below the latest appointments (some are a bit older):

Buziano (3° non-Italian User to reach a Maxi- role, after Zisis [Maxi-OP] and Will [Maxi-MOD])
