    TGIF! Here’s your development news round-up for the past week!

    Player Bans January 19 - January 25

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

    FB: 11
    KP2: 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.

    Level Achievement Adjustments

    We have changed the required level barriers for the achievements we released last week. The new barriers are as follows:

    Viking Clan - Movin' on Up

    Level 20,000
    Level 22,500
    Level 25,000
    Level 27,500
    Level 30,000

    If you are over one of these levels, gain another level and the unlocked achievements will appear.

    Facebook Open Graph 2.0 API Update

    In case you missed this public service announcement earlier this week, Facebook is switching over to Open Graph 2.0 on April 30 2015 and we need to update our games to match. You can read the whole announcement here, but the gist of it is that our games run on a version of Facebook’s back-end code that will be outdated in April and we need to upgrade out games so that they continue to work when the switchover occurs.

    Players on Facebook will not notice anything happening as a result of this process and when April 30 rolls around everything will continue exactly as it has been. The one side effect is that the majority of our dev time will be dedicated to this process until it is complete, so there will be a slow down on updates and new features. We are hoping to finish this process as soon as possible and we’ll let you know when it is complete.

    Support Report with your favorite burrowing nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark!

    Aardvark has fled the country on vacation, so the Support Report will be absent from TGIF for the next couple of weeks. I will try to maintain Aardvark’s penchant for amusing and insightful postscripts, but the outlook on that is not very good.

    mi7ch,
    who could not think of anything to put here

    I can see how raising the stamina cap could have repercussions, perhaps giving a greater xp drop on adventures in the highest cities could be a safer way to give you uber lvls a better way to lvl

    Nothing wrong in upping the cap on stamina, Higher Levels have to do a LOT more XP to level up so it would still balance out.
