TGIF! It's not quite as nice as it was last week, although it's still rather pleasant. Last weekend I made the mistake of visiting my home-town, which happened to be a rather spicy 38 degrees Celsius (Google informs me that's ~100 degrees F) so I'm enjoying the milder Victoria weather. Because of the shorter week, there weren't a ton of updates on the Dev side. There's still some stuff for me to blather on about, so let's take a look: Updates New Limited Items New Limited Quantity Items Player Bans FB: 12 MS: 2 As always, we are committed to keeping our games fun and fair for everyone, and will continue to ensure that players are playing fairly and within our Terms of Use by swinging the banhammer where it needs to be swung. FB Group Chat A few weeks ago Facebook changed how the chat feature worked in Groups. This ended up upsetting a large number of players as it disrupted their established communication channels, which I can understand is frustrating. Because of the reduced functionality of the Group Chat feature in Facebook Groups, we are looking into improving our in-game chat functionality in order to make it more useful for players. We of course can't promise anything, but we wanted the community to know that we understand your frustration and are looking into possible solutions. We have always been interested in supporting a better in-game chat system, and we look forward to working towards that. Game Gurus Last week, we announced an exciting new volunteer opportunity within the community: Game Gurus. Game Gurus are essentially experienced players who will be helping new players by providing knowledge and answering questions in dedicated Guru areas of the forums, as well as other areas. For more information and to apply to be a Guru, check out my post! Ask Kano As always, still looking for more questions for Ask Kano. If you don't know what that is, read about it here. Cache Server Upgrades As part of our never-ending quest for being awesome, we upgraded our Cache Servers this week in order to be more resistant to outages and down-time. Minimal down-time has always been a priority for us, and these changes should help prevent the kinds of issues we've experienced recently. New Location Next Week Although it was a quiet week this week, we have a new location going out next week, which is always exciting. Keep an eye out for more info next week! Lame-joke-of-the-week time! I thought we'd do a summer-themed one this week. Lame joke: Q: What did one snowman say to the other snowman? A: "Hey, do you smell carrots?" <--Highlight for the answer If this joke doesn't make sense to you, Google Image search for snowmen. On that note, it looks like it's getting close to beer o'clock.
