Omerta 2011 winter holiday round!


You get what you ask
Many of you asked during and after the 2011 III round that we would launch a short and fast round on winter holidays. Shockingly, we have listened to you :) We announce a new round, just for winter holidays!


What will be different?

  • 15 Action Points every 10 minutes
  • No worldwide hitlist (bots) available
  • No chaos at the end of round
  • Round length is a little bit more than a month
These changes should make the round more intense and, we hope, more fun. After the round post here if you think that all the next rounds should have these changes and what further changes we should implement to make Omerta even better.


Round timetable
  • Character registration starts 2011.12.10 18:00 (UTC/GMT +2 hours)
  • Round starts 2011.12.15 18:00 (UTC/GMT +2 hours)
  • Round ends (no chaos start) 2012.01.23 8:00 (UTC/GMT +2 hours)
Have a great time playing. merry Christmas and a Happy new year!
We love you all :)

    New language added - Norwegian

    Norsk språk - Norwegian today was added into the omerta game. I am very happy that our players continue to translate this great online game into more and more languages.
    Thanks to Christoffer Wold for this great translation!

    Server problems

    Finally we found the reason why our servers are so slow and often down. One of our RAID hard drives burned down and the system failed. Dalius is already on its way to buy the replacement. We hope to fix the situation today. Thank you for your patience.
    We will add 50 Omerta credits to everyone as soon as our servers are fixed :)
    Good luck in the round!

    Omerta 2011 I round

    At last we can confirm the new omerta round timetable!

    • Character registration starts 2011.02.18 18:00 (UTC/GMT +2 hours)
    • Round starts 2011.02.21 18:00 (UTC/GMT +2 hours)
    • Round ends (chaos start) 2011.04.15 18:00 (UTC/GMT +2 hours)
    • Chaos ends when there are 20 players left alive.

    New features:
    • Anonymous killer.
      No more killer name in obits screen. Dead man can't talk, right? So how can everyone know who killed someone?
    • Create a family costs 150.000$
      There will be no rank limit to create a family, everyone having 150k will be able to create one. Of course having in mind newbies can not receive money and they surely can not earn such money, minimum rank of family boss will be ~gangster.
    • 1 KS for every bot or player kill
      This remains true only for bots/players lower not more than 2 ranks.
    • Hide Killing Skill bar from public.
      Only family members could see players KS.
