Changes

The shortest month of the year has come to an end, and within that month has been exactly one round of Turf. It's been an interesting month with massive weather fluctuations, from downright winter, ending up in something that is beginning to look like spring over here. This round was topped with the current seasoned players. The top three sports no newcomers, just the players we all know and love to see dish it out on their battlegrounds. In first place we have [[User:GW007 |GW007]] with just over 780 000 [[points]], closely followed by [[User:Snusmumriken|Snusmumriken ]] who gathered just over 700 000 [[points ]] and also became the first one to reach the rank of Turf Archangel(13 million points). Only three more ranks left to the top, or 37 million points to go. Finally, on third place we have [[User:dekatomas|dekatomas ]] with nearly 570 000 [[points]]. All three have previously recieved top three medals previously. Worth mentioning is [[User:ZoneBender|ZoneBender ]] who is on the up and coming. One region medal as of now, but so far no top three scores. Keep an eye out for this turfer!

So what's happened these past years with [[Turf]]? Well, one way of measuring [[Turf]]'s expansion is by counting [[Zone|zones]]. So I did it. I came to the conclusion that the number of zones have increased by a factor 30 compared to four years ago today!! Between [[2011 ]] and [[2012 ]] on March 2nd, the number of zones increased more than fivefold, that was a crazy year. Many new towns and villages were introduced to [[Turf]]. That was the year when [[Turf Crew ]] was pretty much formed. Since then the number of zones have roughly doubled. Only doubled you say? Well, not even that anymore. Between 2014 and 2015 turf only expanded by approximately 1.5 times, pretty weak huh? Well, let's put that in numbers. In 2011, there were a bit more than 1200 [[Zone|zones...]][[2012]]: Nearly 6500 [[Zone|zones]][[2013]]: Over 12500 [[Zone|zones]][[2014]]: A whopping 24000 [[Zone|zones]]!Today: Well over 36000 [[Zone|zones ]] around the world!

Even though [[Turf Crew ]] runs a tight ship with strict rules and to some peoples' annoyance, don't dish out enough [[Zone|zones]], have in mind that during the past year 12000 new [[Zone|zones ]] were created! That's ten times more than there were zones around the world back in 2011. I wouldn't call that half bad!

The long awaited [[supporter ]] app has finally been released! It sports a number of improvements, both visual and behind the scenes. As part of the [[Turf Crew ]] I've been able to test it for a while now and it is not half bad. A big improvement is the map which utilizes the new map api that allows caching, that means no more data hungry [[Turf ]] for those that don't use pro mode. On the other hand, [[Pro mode|pro mode ]] has been removed, there is some speculation to whether or not this is permanent or not, but for now, it is off the table.

So, how do you get your hands on this little trinket? Well, first you become a [[supporter ]] by going here: http://turfgame.com/supporter. Then you check out this part of the forum: https://forum.turfgame.com/viewforum.php?f=136. That's it!

There's a rumor going that another [[Bonanza ]] is in the making! The rumor started spreading on [https://www.instagram.com/turfcrew/ Turf Crews Instagram account], yes we have one! When and exactly where is unclear but here's the photo that got the rumor going!

Until then, you can satisfy your event hunger by signing up for the event in [[Municipality:Karlstad |Karlstad]] on April 18th! Here is the forum information (in Swedish): https://forum.turfgame.com/viewtopic.php?f=131&t=4549

[[Turf Crew ]] has started a new project. You can already start to see zones popping up at random places across the world. These are [[World Heritage Sites ]] and are meant to be [[Zone|zones ]] that you can collect as unique [[Zone|zones ]] or perhaps as a medal in the future. Rules of how many of these zones are allowed to exist in each country and in total are still being discussed but till then you will see some cool places get a bit cooler!
