Marketplace Item Duplication

Some of you may have noticed that specific items are appearing to have multiple entries in the item search results for the Marketplace. This is a bug related to the targeted item sales and we're working on a fix for it now. We'll have it resolved ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience!

zOMG Server Issues

The maintenance last night caused a couple of the zOMG servers to crash when they were initially turned back on. Our Operations team is working on getting these servers back up so sit tight and we'll hopefully have them all back up soon.

All three zOMG servers should be back up and available again now. Sorry for the downtime!

Marketplace Search

We just pushed a fix for the duplicate item results that seems to have broken the search results for all items. We're working on a fix for this now and should have it fixed shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Halloween Goldsink

The pre-event goldsink ended a little prematurely this morning. I've extended its duration to the correct end date now so you should be able to access it again for now. Hurry though, the actual event launch is drawing closer so you don't have much more time to get in on the awesome prizes in the goldsink.

Halloween Trick or Treating!

Our beloved shopkeepers have donned their new costumes and stocked up on plenty of candies and rewards to give away this year. Can you get all 8 items? Do you know who each NPC is dressed up as? Do you like candy, grab bags, items, and more? Head on over to the shops and get started now!

(HTML code)


Note: There is a timeout of 30 seconds between candies so we don't clog our server tubes with too many sticky candies. We've also added a fancy little indicator to the shops navigation that will show you which stores you have yet to collect candy from. Hope it helps!

Trick or Treating Fix

I just fixed a pesky bug that was preventing users from collecting more than one set of the ToT items and even accessing those shops at all. Everyone should now be able to collect the full set of Trick or Treat items a total of 3 times. For those of you who like math, that's 528 candies. Good luck, I hope you brought a big enough pail to carry all that candy in!

Jack's Goldsink Has Ended

A pre-event goldsink ending...mysterious forums appearing...an air of suspense forming...

I wonder what it all could mean...
Trash/Bug collecting in Towns2 fixed

There have been a handful of small issues plaguing collection in towns2 for the past few months; these have now been resolved. You will now be able to collect trash and bugs once per time period per community. If you're willing to move around a bit between the 4 community types, you'll be able to collect things more quickly.

Halloween Bug Fixes

I've buffed the hit rates for all classes so all attacks should now be 10-20% more likely to hit, and yeah, this is effective immediately. I've seen a lot of complaints that the hit rates were too low so I'm hoping this helps with that. Please keep in mind though, the rate is based on your class, the class of your target, your level, and your target's level. If you go and pick a fight with someone 5 levels higher than you, you're unlikely to hit them. If you attack someone of the same class, you're pretty much fighting yourself so it could go either way. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses so figure out who you work best against and look for them.

Health and energy regeneration weren't working correctly unless your stats were being checked regularly. I've fixed this so going forward it should work as intended, a set amount to health and energy after a set amount of time (I'm still tweaking the rates and amounts to best fit). As a side effect of this, anyone who had less than max health/energy before the fix should be bumped up to max now, enjoy!

Halloween Bug Fix Update

Greater than, less than, equal to, scaling, balancing, and calculation. These are the things that plagued me with attacking hit rates. My initial stab at it skewed favor toward those with high luck, and my fix skewed it toward those with low luck. I've now gone back to the drawing board and designed a new formula to calculate hit percentage, counter attack rate, critical hits, and super effective heals. It's lean, mean, and even better than before because it actually works. Sorry for all the issues that this has caused but I'm 99.9% confident this will now fix that.

Virtual Piggy Announcement Revision

The recent Virtual Piggy announcement about the event mentioned that the Virtual Piggy Luck Potions helped by leveling you up. This is actually not accurate. The Virtual Piggy Luck Potions do not affect your level at all. The only thing that they do actually affect is your Luck stat and they only increase it by 1 point. Sorry for the confusion about this, the announcement has been revised to reflect the correct functionality.

Halloween Bug Fix Update 2

So I managed to still not get it right and attacks were going through unchecked for the last hour or so. I've fixed this now too so all the dodging, countering, critical hit goodness should be back now. Sorry about that.

I've also removed the Event Menu buttons from below avatars if that user has recently died, thereby not allowing them to be attacked, and you're not on their team. I hope this helps cut down on some of the unnecessary page reloads when trying to find someone to attack!
