Travels Featuring Naharia

July 25, 2014 at 12:00 PM 50 Comments

NAHARIA TRAVELS - Naharia is an uninhabited stretch of land in the interior of the island. It's very small and difficult to find. It's considered to be magical because no plants die and they always stay green. These new Travels are now restocking.

Creature Item Collections

July 21, 2014 at 4:39 PM 92 Comments

CREATURE ITEM COLLECTIONS - Because the Creature Library idea was so well-received, we decided to expand this feature into a general Item Collection page!

Creature Libraries are now Item Collections. View them on creature profiles. Item collections track every single item ever used by a creature, sorted by the shop that the item is from. Item collections now display item rarities as well, so you can show off your most expensively-used items to your friends.

Sadly, existing Food Eaten and Toys Used stats have been reset to 0. Why? This is because we were only tracking a raw number and not unique item usage. Now the system is tracking stats by unique item. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. These stats were relatively new anyway, so we thought we'd transform them into something more full-featured sooner rather than later. heart.png

OMG! So much to track. I love it.


COMING SOON - We're working on item collection leaderboards as we speak. We'll give you a heads up by saying this: collection leaderboards will likely be sorted by the time that your items were used. This means that the users who have the largest item collections the soonest will place higher.

For example, if two users have an item collection of 100 and user A completed their collection of 100 by January 1 and user B completed their collection by February 1, user A will get the #1 spot on the leaderboards. In other words: get collecting now!

Additionally, global item collection numbers will be coming to user profiles shortly (i.e. the sum total of all of your creature item collections).

Enjoy and have fun!
