Click the news title to go to the post on the Vendetta Online site. Click the date for the page with just that post.

This probably won't get any news posts added in the future, I made it mostly to see the old ones.

That's cool Lemming. Did you get it all from our database?

I got most of them by checking the specific news post url and changing the ID number in it. The very old news posts I got from archive.org copies of the old site.

Very nice. Thanks for this, SL.

Here are a few good ones that I recall:

November 1, 2003: Changes can be found in sectors 5, 7, 9, 14, 15 and 18. All the added stations use the new "modular component" architecture. Advertising for various in-game shops and companies has been added, using a new language designed for the game

June 24, 2004: Version 3.5.0 marks the launch of the new universe.

November 1, 2004: The game is now online as a pay-to-play product [...] The pricing model is as follows:

1 month for 9.99
3 months for 26.99
6 months for 48.99
12 months for 89.99
24 months for 159.99


(prices haven't changed in nearly a decade :-) (excepting the new Lite sub, of course))

January 23, 2010: A new station located in Latos I-8 may now be conquered by players.

Good times, everyone. :-)

(There's way more in there than I would care to dig out right now, before any bystanders cop any snarky remarks about the number of meaningful updates :-) )

"(prices haven't changed in nearly a decade :-) (excepting the new Lite sub, of course))"

Yes phaserlight, for almost every other game in the genre the price has gone down to $0 per month, why are you highlighting this as though its a good thing.

Those games suck; of course they have to be free to get anybody to play them.
