TGIF! Read on to find out what happened this week in Dev and Community! Player Bans July 26 - August 1 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. FB: 14 MS: 44 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! Check them out: Mid-Month Calendar Just a reminder that the mid-month Calendar started today and it’s Totally Tubular! Check your respective games and networks to play it! Kano Play Updates! Ever since Myspace shut down their game support we’ve been putting a lot of attention into Kano Play, tuning it up to give our players a new home, or a better alternative if they’ve come from Facebook. We’re taking that even further today with a facelift for the site including some additional functionality coming in the near future like chat, a friend inviter and profiles and avatars! Please visit this thread here. to discuss Kano Play and leave any feedback you may have! Faction Wars As of today we’re in Round Two of Faction Wars. While the feature is still in a Beta footing, the developers made a lot of adjustments which you can take a look at here. This is also where we’re collecting feedback for this second run so if you have anything to say about your Faction Wars experience, that’s the place! Don’t Incur the Wrath of The UN: Inactive Players Now Being Listed In case you missed the post about this the other day, The UN is expressing their displeasure with players who haven’t eradicated any zombies in a while. What this means in game terms is that when players are inactive for 6+ months and they’re over level 300 they have a chance to be listed. This only occurs when the last bounty has been collected and there isn’t an active player listed within a certain time frame. Up to three inactive players can be listed at one time and an account can only be listed once every seven days. This currently active on both Kano Play Myspace and Facebook. This is a community-requested feature and you can see the original thread here. Rival Heal Button Adjustments In order to make gameplay a bit more balanced across the board, we’re making a tweak to how the Heal button on the Rivals page works. Putting the Heal button on the Rivals page was supposed to allow players to heal while fending off attackers but the functionality of the button allowed players to heal faster than was previously possible than with the button on the main page. This has now been rectified and there will be a couple second pause before players can click the Heal link again. This should cut down on the number of players spamming the heal button and will help further expose those who are using Heal Bots. Please check this thread here to leave your feedback! Support Report with your favorite burrowing, nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark! Bon Vendredi, joueurs! Hopefully exhausting a significant percentage of my remaining French vocabulary will distract you from the fact that I have very little news this week. Support was dedicated to catching up on tickets after the long weekend here in Canuckistania. (It was lovely, thanks for asking.) As per usual, a common theme has been players being mean to other players. I will remind everyone that our games are designed with adults in mind and are based on multiplayer combat. We're not trying to be exclusive here, but if you are upset because someone has attacked you 15 times in the past 3 days, this game may not be the best fit for you. Cheers, Aardvark Terrible Joke of the Week While we're on the subject of this week's joke, have you seen Pacific Rim? Because it's awesome. Where do cows go during the weekend? To the moovies. ← Highlight for hilarity! That's it for TGIF this week, everybody! Thanks for reading, and have an excellent weekend! Play Now!
