    TGIF! Time to take to this update like a duck takes to water!

    Player Bans January 17 - January 23

    As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes.

    KPs2: 1

    The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us.

    If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved.

    New Limited Items!

    A new week means new Limited Items! Here’s what’s up for grabs:

    Things You May Not Know

    Recently we’ve had a lot of new players joining in thanks to our launch on Kongregate and Armor and there are always people picking up the game on Facebook and Kano Play. In this new segment I’m going to be calling out some features that newcomers might not know about.

    This week I’m highlighting the “Accept All” button for Gifts. Clicking on each individual gift may take a long time, so there’s a handy shortcut for you under the Gifts tab on your Alerts tab (it’s the little person icon under the XP bar). Here’s what it looks like:

    Yes, I know it says "Mobster Alerts", but the functionality is the same for all games. :)

    Battle Screen Updates

    Yesterday we announced an updated Battle interface for Viking Clan. This is a UI refresh so the functionality is more or less the same, it just brings our game into this decade. There’s an opt-out option in the settings if you choose not to go in for the new-fangled style. Read more about the update here.

    Happy Friday, players!

    January is all but behind us now, and good riddance! I always find it pretty dreary and end up fantasizing as hard as I can that I'm on a beach in the Tropics drinking something out of a pineapple.

    The big news in Support is we're bringing a new person onto team Kano to help out with Tickets. This way I won't have to keep hijacking mi7ch when we start get behind and he can focus more on the forums and getting player ideas and feedback over to the devs and designers.

    You'll get a more formal introduction next week when she starts and begins her unstoppable reign of terror over all things Support-related!

    Just kidding, she's super cool and a way better player than I am. *grumble*

    Cheers,

    Aardvark

    you dont actually play the game, do you? haha its actually faster to accept them all individually if youre planning on returning a gift...once theyre all accepted you can click the send gift link from the the first gift accepted and keep clicking the same spot till all gifts are sent...much faster than accepting all then clicking send gift then picking a gift then clicking send....youre welcome ;p

    I disagree....it is much faster to accept all gifts, then start at the bottom of the list and click to send gifts, much...much quicker then clicking on all the gifts...just my 2 cents :D

    my way is 2 clicks per gift accept and return, yours is 3 clicks...not to mention the few extra seconds of load time for the entire gift list to pop up...sorry bud but youre wrong...try it out the next time you have a ton of gifts to accept and youll see

    Just because I'm pointing out an alternate way to accept gifts, that means I don't play the game? Yes, it can be faster to do it the other way, but I sometimes see requests for an "accept all" button when I'm browsing around on the various networks and thought I would point out that it already exists.
