Dear players,

There will be a new update on Wednesday, 08/04/2010 which will include bugfixes and new features. Therefore, the server will be unavailable from 10:45 - 12:15 server time. We ask for your understanding and apologize for the inconvenience.

Changelog

Bugfixes:

• As a mentor, you could sometimes see your rookies as ghosts when they moved around. This is fixed now.
• Jolaisus had no stationery. This will be fixed too.
• The ignore list will work for minigames too.
• Players will not be able to walk around during fights anymore.
• The ham from the Spanish Collection will now be movable.
• Night version: House backgrounds that have been bought will not be darkened anymore by the night mode.
• Stalking travel pig: The pig did not stop to talk until you reached Matricia. This made some players think that it has some more important information. This has been fixed and the travel pig is more silent now.
• The speedhack cheat will now be prevented through additional checks.

Features:

• The start of the game has been tightened - which means that quests in generation 1 will now be available earlier.
• Achievements: Broader display of the medal you achieved right now in the list of achievements.
• Witch's cauldron: The task at the coloured witch's cauldron is to compound a coloured soup. The witch will target a special colour, and the player has to comopound the colour with various ingredients, using as few ingredients as possible.
• Goblin hunt: Each hour, 5 goblins will appear at random positions. You will have to find them in order to get a reward. It will depend on who found the goblin first, the quickest player will get most gold for it. Additionally, there will be a new medal for the goblin hunt.
• Ranking "Ranger": There will be a new ranking. In this ranking, the points will be calculated with the following method:
  • 1 point for each lottery ticket the player has get through goblins.
  • 15 points for each found cat
  • This ranking will be compounded with the points of the last 7 days.
• Lottery: Each day at midnight, there will be a lottery among the players who found a goblin. Each player who found a goblin will get lottery tickets for this. The amount of tickets will depend on who found the goblin first, as it is for the reward. The first one will get the most tickets, 30 at the maximum, but at least one for each finder.
• Diamond transfer: When a player deleted his/her account, he will get a transfer link to his mail address he can use to transfer his remaining diamonds to a new account. In order to prevent abuse, all diamonds minus the 35 diamonds the player gets at the beginning of the game, will be transfered.
