-RAAR NEWS- February

Welcome back to the World of RAAR News! This is the first news edition of 2015 and will cover off all the happens of February, so let's get to it.

Caching In

Geocaching Headquarters is now under construction in Imperial City. The new building will facilitate the beginning of geocaching in the World of RAAR. It will provide players of this sport with coordinates to go out and find hidden chests that will be located throughout the known world. Talamer, who is the current Mayor of Imperial City, is extremely excited for the new building as he has been an avid geocacher. 

You can check out more of the beginning phase of this building construction in the below video:

Jursammic Park Infrastructure Expansion

Over in Jursammic Park, Sammy Macman has had his construction company hard at work on expanding the roads and way points located in his lands. 

"Much of the original infrastructure did not support the use of horses; now it does" said the Sam Co. owner in a brief interview. SammyMacman also stated that the widening of the roads was only the beginning as there are many other construction projects within the park that will need connections.

Macwood Reborn

Also in Jursammic Park, Macwood Castle has been undergoing a major renovation which includes the addition of a library and a teleport tower. Interior design changes have also been ongoing in the main castle. Some changes include a wine cellar and updated foyer.

The town has been abuzz with activity since the renovations began, many of the local citizens are rejoicing at the return of Macwood to its former glory.

New Light In The New World

Long ago in the Age of Survival, Talamer went in search of a new land south of what is now Imperial City. Tunneling for miles beneath the vast Galactic Ocean, he came upon a land that he would call 'The New World' where a quaint little village of farmers and merchants had settled. 

For years after, the village remained unchanged and untouched until recently when, now Mayor, Talamer traveled to the New World to check in on Lord and Lady TNT_McD. He decided to help the fair people of the New World Village to expand and become connected to the rest of the world.

Employing Tri-C engineering, Talamer set out to build the village into a thriving community, even laying the foundation for a train station with plans for a future rail connection. 

Interior Additions

Shortly after seeing Talamer's Walk-Thru of Monson Heights video, SammyMacman decided to develop the second floor of his apartment flat to include a sitting room, study and games room. Couches, a large sturdy desk and a swanky new pool table add to the already lustrous decor. Truly a refined bachelor's pad. 

Mapping It Out

Among the many other projects undertaken in February by SammyMacman was the remapping and update mapping of Jursammic Park. Since it's creation the park has nearly doubled in size offering a vast expanse of things to see and do.

Laying Foundations

Construction has also begun on another epic project, the Palace of Fugue. Beginning with the Iceberg Isle teleport station, Sam Co. Construction broke ground in early February on this monumental build. With special permissions from SammyMacman, RAAR News was given a sneak peek of the teleport station and palace.

Interrupting Cow 

Recently, a mischievous cow forced her way into the Imperial City Post Office temporarily interrupting mail services. After some persuasion, ol'bessy was escorted safely off the premises to a nearby field. No cows were harmed in the process.

Till Next Time!

-World of RAAR News!- Aug 09, 2014

Hello Crafty Miners and welcome to the long awaited edition of RAAR News! We hope you all have been enjoying your summer vacations. Ours has been quite busy and full of adventure. Its been awhile since the last news update and we've compiled quite a few new stories and builds to share. So let's get to it!

PORT DAVIES OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Imperial City is now connected to the waterways of the world with the completion of the new port facility. Shipping containers have already been arriving containing new technologies and building materials, many of which were featured at Expo 1.8. The Port Davies crane, 'Frasier', has been hard at work 24-7 since the opening of the facility early last month and looks to continue to be busy. A new shipment containing rabbits, banners, red sandstone bricks and the various kinds of wood fences, which were recently unveiled at Expo 1.8, will be arriving shortly.

TRANS-HUB STATION RELOCATED

Tri-C Engineering crews were hard at work in late June in preparation to move the Trans-Hub test station to it's new permanent home across the street. In early July, crews began moving the three story structure and in a record pace time, the building was positioned and secured within a day. 

Trans-Hub officials were pleased with the swiftness of the move and now have their own staff working diligently hard to complete the rail connections and get teleportation systems online. Once these priority steps have been completed, the canal linkup is then expected to take place.

RECLAIMED LAND WHERE TRANS-HUB TEST STATION ONCE STOOD

CHA-CHING!

Over the past month, Sam Co. Construction has been hard at work developing one of the few remaining downtown lots in Imperial City. Silverfisch's Department Store has taken shape quickly during that time, with many of the floors now being installed. No set date has been revealed for the grand opening, but residents are pleasantly excited for the completion of this multistory facility. 

A ROOF OVERHEAD

After months of being on hold, engineers have finally signed off on the roof design of The Bank of Ender and construction crews were swiftly sent to work. The roof has been on hold since mid-april pending a design flaw that was weeded out during initial fabrication. Sam Co. had to take the roof plans back to the design team for a complete overhaul. 

With the new design approved, work progressed quickly on site with crews having the roof in place within a week. Now that the roof has been put in place, construction has moved to inside the bank.

GOING POSTAL

Imperial City now has a Post Office. 

Early last month, City Council approved plans to build this communication center. The lot located next to Monson Heights, had been vacant for some time, but within a few weeks of approval, Tri-C Engineering had the newly designed post office complete. Inside, residents of Imperial City each have their own personal mailboxes and can send messages to each other quickly and easily.

"This is another step in bringing our residents closer together and allowing them to communicate freely." said Mayor Talamer during the council approval meeting. "We hope it will be well used."

MOVING UP IN THE WORLD

Mayor Talamer has officially moved into the penthouse of Monson Heights. Located in the heart of downtown Imperial City, Monson Heights is a residential tower that has taken shape over the last year. Last week, crews finished up the last touches of the interior design and movers promptly brought in the furniture.

"It'll be nice to wake up with a view of the city." said the Mayor, "I won't have any more excuses for being late to council meetings."

More move-ins are expected in the near future. Little_Owl_Girl has been working with interior designers on her apartment as well.

UNDERNEATH IT ALL

Construction crews have completed an underground expansion to Monson Heights. An underground horse garage has been installed, allowing apartment owners a spot to park their trusted steeds. Inspired by a SethBling design, the garage can hold up to 11 horses. It's compact design has sparked an interest in using the design in other parking required instances.

JURSAMMIC INFRASTRUCTURE

Infrastructure within Jursammic Park has continued to be developed by Sam Co. Construction. Sign Totems and waypoint structures have been springing up all over the kingdom. In an interview with Sam Co. owner, SammyMacman he said, "We want to make it easy for tourists to navigate through Jursammic Park on horseback. These upgrades should help do that."

There are still a few areas that require this upgrade, but for the most part Jursammic Park has become accessible to all.

MONSON HEIGHTS LOBBY VIDEO EPISODE 2

After months of waiting, episode 2 of the Monson Heights Lobby build is now up. Join Talamer as he continues to develop the Monson Heights lobby framed in an Art Deco style. 

Episode 3 is now in the editing process and hopefully can be released soon.

TILL NEXT TIME!

Thanks for checking out our latest builds and designs. We hope you have enjoyed this look into The World of RAAR. We appreciate all the support from all the Crafty Miners out there and hope each of you are enjoying your summer vacations!

Until we meet again, Happy Crafting!

-World of RAAR News!- May 03, 2014

Welcome back Crafty Miners to the World of RAAR news update. The printing press got jammed up yesterday so Update Friday is on Saturday this week.

STANDING TALL

The exterior of Monson Heights has been completed. The final block was laid last Saturday by Tri-C construction crews who worked the weekend trying to bring the tower construction back on schedule. Work on the lobby of Monson Heights has now begun and several floors have been built for future residential apartments.

APARTMENT SPACE

Apartments sold out in Monson Heights in less then one day! Before the last floor had even been put in, tenets were knocking at the doors looking to buy up the available apartments. One of those perspective future tenets was SammyMacman, owner and operator of the Sam Co. construction company. Upon securing the possession of two floors of Monson Heights, he had his crews begin on his personal suite.

By Wednesday last week, SammyMacman had a customized elevator installed and a second entrance already built.

Other tenets securing apartments on Saturday included Lord and Lady TNT McD and Little Owl Girl. The penthouse was pre-sold to Imperial City Mayor, Talamer. 

"I look forward to moving in." said the Mayor on Friday after council meeting, "My commute to work will only be few minutes now."

RIAH-TOPIA REVIVAL

The island of Riah-topiah continues to see more work being done to it. This week, Little Owl Girl, Queen of Riah-topia began to landscape her mountainous property. An arbor, swing, flowers and trees were all added to beautify the island retreat. Meanwhile inside, the ceilings were painted and a new fireplace installed.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Rumor has it that somewhere deep inside the lands of Jursammic Park, Sam Co. crews have been secretly working on a castle complete with a dragon. RAAR news has attempted to confirm the reports with pictures but as of yet have been unsuccessful in locating the new structure.

Also this week, Talamer and Little Owl Girl went on a quest to prank their fellow miners. A video was taken of their exploits and is in the process of being edited.

A new video Lets Play series is also underway which will show the construction of the Monson Heights Lobby. Look for it on our YouTube channel soon.
