    TGIF! Here's what happened this past week in Dev and Community!

    Player Bans October 18 - October 24

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

    FB: 15
    KPs2: 5

    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 Friday! Hope you all had a sufficiently spoopy Halloween! There were even a few costumes here at the Kano Kave, although the chillier weather seems to be circulating a case of the sniffles and a general reluctance to commit to contrived get-ups. Some seasonal participation did take place despite the party-poopers (*coughMi7chcough*), evidence of which you are welcome to review on the Kano/Apps Facebook page..

    In other news! A good thing to keep in mind is that our games contain a healthy dose of Random Chance to mix things up a little. Probability pops up in mechanics all over the place, including battle damage, item drops, challenge rewards, and of course the Lottery. What this ultimately means is that you don't always get the outcome you want or expect and sometimes you might even have a string of less-than-optimal outcomes. This is that how probability works, I'm afraid, and it doesn't necessarily mean that something is broken or has been deliberately stacked against you.

    In no case will any probability roll or outcome be "rigged" against players or be reported as higher than it actually is. We won't tell you you have a 10% chance of getting something then put in sneaker modifiers to stop it from happening, as that would be incredibly lame in every way. However if you are concerned that something might not be working right, or that the stated probability is incorrect please do contact us so we can check it out.

    Terrible Joke of the Week

    In honor of Halloween, here's a spooky joke!
