We recieved the information that our current provider stops all services in Februari 2012. We are waiting for the Auth ID by the provider, to move the site somewhere else. As it seems we will probably move to a Swedish provider, with more traffic limit and disk space. We are going to back up the site as soon we get the Auth ID, and have it offline for some days. This will probably happen sometime between Januari - February. There is also a possibility that the site will be hosted in Belgium by our own Mr.Heady, if the server requirements fulfill our demands. 

As known, I was selected as Empire Clan leader after Recon in the year of 2005. Young, and with loads of passion, I brought the clan to the next level in PC gaming. With an own business today on my shoulders, and lack of free time, it is not possible for me to make any changes for the clan. It has been a hell of a ride, I don’t regret the time spent and what we accomplished as a clan some years back, but as you’ve noticed, the clan has been on a freeze period for some time now.

In January I am stepping down as leader of Empire and giving full control to Mr.He@dy. The reason why I'm picking He@dy is because he is the only one reminding me of myself back in the days when I was still passionate and hard working for the clan. I will be Mr.He@dys mentor for some weeks/months and be listed as an owner of the clan until Mr.He@dy can handle everything by himself.

I will still try to keep the webpage updated as much I can with news, but my goal is to educate the new leader during the upcoming weeks so he can update it himself.

Yours sincerely:

Max Payne 3 is an upcoming third-person shooter video game in the Max Payne franchise published by Rockstar Games for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Development is led by Rockstar Vancouver in collaboration with the New England, London and Toronto studios. This is the first game in the series not to be developed by Finnish game developer Remedy Entertainment and not being written by series creator Sam Lake. The lead writer of Max Payne 3 is Dan Houser, who was also the writer of most games in the Grand Theft Auto series, and of Red Dead Redemption.

The game was originally scheduled for release in late 2009. However, it was pushed back to 2010 alongside several other Take-Two Interactive franchises in order to "benefit from having more development time." In June 2010, the game was again pushed back to 2011. On December 21, it was not present on the 2011-2012 calendar year, and was pushed back again. The game was still in development and not canceled or indefinitely halted when Rockstar released two new screenshots for the game. On September 8, 2011 Rockstar announced a March 2012 release date for the game, with a trailer released on September 14

3 Empire members received their DOTA 2 keys today. We’ve tried the game for a couple of hours and really enjoyed it, even if it is still on a beta phase with a couple of small bugs. Our personal thoughts about the game are that we enjoyed the gameplay and graphics. What we didn’t like was the interface of the beta game (hopefully will get adjusted in the future) and that you can’t set your mouse buttons as skill enablers (for example side buttons and mid button on the mouse). But we are all sure that this game will be the bomb when it leaves the beta stage and will be official released.

We will do all we can to try and sort out beta keys to our members so you can have a break from Heroes of Newerth and come join us for some clan action in Dota 2.
