A Note from the Developers

July 4th, 2008

With the introduction of our map inspired by our community we have all of the major elements in our new virtual world. Now that we have the structure and major elements in place we are transitioning to Release
Candidate One.

Later today, about 5:00 PM Pacific time, just before dusk on the east coast (an excellent time to start a fireworks display), we will open our fireworks game. As you all know, our last minute testing can always
reveal some bug which will result in something being delayed, but we are planning on 5:00 PM Pacific time. As you already know, we always strive for something that is new and innovative, and usually a bit beyond our reach!

Over the next two days we will also be adding a lot of new elements which complete our base elements, not the least of these will be the ability to finally sit down and blink. We will also add IM this weekend, which is the basis for our groups and clubs! In addition, we will also bid goodbye to the ubiquitous "pink
couch" label and the bug in the Audubon Wildlife Adventure game which makes the last question always wrong.

On a more prosaic note, we have also completed the re-factoring of our basic engine again which will make all rooms load significantly quicker. This update is planned for Friday night. This should be another exciting weekend in our virtual world!
