TGIF! Here’s what happened this week in Dev and Community! Player Bans June 21 - June 27 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. FB: 0 MS: 20 KN: 2 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. Happy Independence Day! Yesterday was Independence Day in the good ol’ US of A, so I hope all of our American players had an excellent Fourth of July! New Limited Items! Speaking of Independence Day, we released some themed items this week! You can get them now! New Wellspring of Mimir Co-op Boss: Ratatoskr! When last you defended the sacred World Tree, there were rumblings among your warriors about a squirrel, one larger than any had ever seen before. You thought the matter trivial at the time, but now you see that the tales were not exaggerated. Ratatoskr, Nidhoggr's messenger and enigmatic denizen of the world-tree, stands before you, impossibly tall and decidedly much more threatening than any creature you would typically call "squirrel". Support Report with your Community Manager, mi7ch! No real Support Report this week, folks, as your normal writer continues to work away at tickets. Just a reminder that the Canada Day long weekend up here might cause a delay in getting your ticket answered! Kano Play Update I just thought I would take a minute here to bring everyone up to speed on the state of Kano Play. We heard from a lot of former Myspace players who moved over that they felt like the community there was getting a little thin. Since we opened up registrations last week, we’ve seen a four times increase in the number of new players signing up daily than what we used to see on Myspace. We’re continuing to reach out to lapsed Myspace players to entice them to reactivate their accounts, so we expect that number to increase even further. If you’ve reached out to your friends from Myspace and have gotten them to sign up, we thank you! We’d love to get even more people in, though, so if you have some friends who are still on the fence, or just keep forgetting to get around to it, let them know that they can look forward to these improvements in the future: - freshened up layout - new chat just for KP - user profiles with avatar support - improved player invite module That’s just a glimpse of what will be coming in the next few months. We thank you for sticking with us while we got Kano Play Myspace up and running, and I hope you’re looking forward to the changes we’re planning on making. Terrible Joke of the Week You guys might not know this, but I’m a big Poke-fan, so I’m extra pleased to present a terrible Pokemon themed joke this week!. How do you get Pikachu on a bus? Poke him on. ← Highlight for hilarity! And that’s everything for this week folks! Thanks for tuning in for another TGIF, and I’ll see you next week! Play Now!
