A recent interest in balance changes has been sparked partly by the rumours of the ESO servers future. This news brings the community to wonder whether future blance patches will be released, and questions the future of support for the game.
The result has been an orginised effort to create a fanpatch that will balance the most outstanding issues that cause the game to be unbalanced. A group of experts have been selected to tackle the balancing issues, and discussions are under away at AgeSanctury to create the patch.

Viper has posted a thread at Age Sanctury which will be updated with the progress of the patch and details of any changes planned:

Quoted from the thread 'Fan Patch progress, Updated 26th of September 2008' by Viper:


'"Hello everyone. The purpose of this topic is to keep the community apprised of progress on the fan patch. I'll be updating this as more news come to hand, so look out for those updates"

--------------------------

[25th September 2008]
Fan Patch (hereafter FP) team formed, and private forum for discussion created.
Basic plan formulated for the first patch. It was agreed to make the first patch a relatively simple one to fix the glaring balance issues for India and Japan. Thus the first FP will focus upon those areas of concern.
Balance discussions begun on areas of concern for FP 1.00.'

If you are interested in the proposed fanpatch, then all the details and discussions can be followed here: FanPatch Thread at AgeSanctury.com.

This weeks line-up for the RTS-Broadcast is looking fantastic!

Good luck to all those who enter!!!

Here's an introduction for the RTS Broadcast site (can also be veiwed on the front page of the site itself), a new site developed by some of the guys at LoSt- clan:

It all started with a quick comment about broadcasting games from Hunter Cup from our very own Crjensen4 who gave us the idea and spread into a design and plan to have a website that offered live coverage in any tournament or league willing to allow us to do so. Our first live coverage will be of the LoSt- and =SMR= sponsored tournament finals of Hunter Cup which will be soon to announced date and time. We have a small but very dedicated staff of StylO who is our awesome coder and designer, Crjensen4 our owner and man behind the scenes, matsujun our generous sponsor and leader of our japanese side, and me BT who just admins and what not ;).

In the future we will continue to broadcast live games and coverage of tournaments with commentation in Japanese by matsujun and in English by MrMilo. In short if there are any tournaments out there that you would like to be hosted on this site and have a fairly large amount of players and viewers we would love to have you. In the near future we will be introducing a Betting System which is widely used in the Starcraft community and be hosting all instructional VOD's by MrMilo and Ensemble Studios. We will have all the recs from our tournaments hosted on this site and hope you continue to come to our website even while there are now tournaments being run.

Future Broadcasts include RTS-League, Many various Japanese run tournaments, future LoSt- and =SMR= Sponsored tournaments, and quite frankly any high class tournaments you all in the community would like the world to see.


Be sure to show your support by registering at the site: www.rtsbroadcast.com and checking it out!
