Games / Events

A big thank you for having the Easter event on zOMG! this year! Would it be possible to adjust the plat reward given for killing multiple Golden Eggs? Right now when you kill a Golden Egg you get 1 plat (except for your first golden egg, which gives you the Regal Adornment bundle) or an item for recipe crafting. Most people won't bother killing any Golden Eggs after their first because there's basically no reward, and it makes it harder for anyone who's still trying to get their bundle to kill an egg, since whittling down 20k hp at 1 damage per hit takes a VERY long time unless you have a lot of people.

Games / Switch'em

Hey, look! I'm not asking an LK question. Wow. rofl

Thanks for bringing back Switch'em! I've missed this game and I love seeing it again. However, it has me (and a few other achievement hunters) wondering: will the two Switch'em achievements be coming back now, too? It'd be fun to see those return, especially since there don't seem to be any achievements with this year's Easter event.

These two:


Switchem Savant (Switching, Efficient, Savant, Sensei)
100 Points

"Awarded to Gaians who have reached level 15 in Switchem." ➔ ""


How to get this: Reach level 15 of Switchem.






Switchem Supreme (Crafty, Switcher)
100 Points

"Awarded to Gaians who have scored over 10,000 points in Switchem." ➔ "Consider this your black belt, grasshopper."


How to get this: Score over 10k points on any level of Switchem.

GAMES Switchum

First thank you for finally bringing back my favorite game! But it still needs work.

1st, there is an intermittent bug that says you're out of moves when you're not. It can either show up the 3rd move, or it can when you've just completed the round, there are still moves left and it's still in the middle of removing icons. The last game I played, it did the latter at level 7!

2nd: the reward rates are low compared to other activities for the same amount of time invested, about 28% of what I'd earn playing Lake Kindred or just posting. Can this be equalized with other activities a bit more?

3rd: compared to the last version of Switchum, this one gets tougher a lot faster, so that level 2 is like level 3, level 4 is like the old level 6 and level 7 is like the old level 10, making for long sessions early for little reward. I rarely get to level 8 as it tends to freeze out on level 7. I think I did once. I hope this will be adjusted; when Switchum was first introduced, it also had this problem that was later fixed.

I also hope this isn't back just for the event.

Thanks.

GAMES Tiles

I haven't been able to connect to the Tiles server since April 10th. I just tried again today with the same result. Others haven't either; there is a thread in the bugs game forum about it.

We have done a bit of balancing with Swicthem, and no doubt we will be doing more. I'm sorry about the bug and I'm going to fix it. It takes time to track down since some long gameplay is involved. The only way I know to avoid it is to refresh instead of hitting play again. Annoying I know.

Switchem will be sticking around.

To be honest I forgot there were achievements. We wrote the original for the Halloween event of 2013. So much has happened since then. It is good we have such an involved community that is here to remind us.

We can add them back in future.

Thanks for letting us know.
