VPN Tip #1

Hey everyone, you’re favorite Ninja here.  In order to give you all the best content and strategies for VPN and all of Meteor Games, we are going to start this new series.  Basically, we’re going to find the elite in VPN, be it mini-game players or top achievers, we’re going to find them all and force (err let) them explain their own tips and strategies for that thing their good at.

Hopefully we can make this weekly, but if not we’re going to release them as often as possible.  For the first tip, we decided to jump into the Ninja Squirrel high score boards to find the best player, Sarine.  Here are the tips she gives to help you when you try to scale to the top of the tree.  These aren’t in any particular order, and they’re in the original form, just like Sarine wrote them.

The Meteorites Databases

The best Meteor Games fan site, just got better! As you will probably know, we have been working on information databases (like the ones we had on twinskiesnavigator.com). A few days ago they were finished, and we have a small team working to add information them – with more joining the team soon. We hope to have all items, achievements and quests finished by the end of the week.

If you are interested in become a Content Editor, all we require is:
You have an interested and passion for Meteor Games (and play VPN)
Some internet knowledge (getting image urls, other than right-clicking)
Lots of time (we are looking for dedication, not people who will add a couple of things a week)

Fit the above criteria? Email: mail@themeteorites.net

VPN Player Diary – April 26, 2009

Welcome to the first diary post for Princess Xara. I’ve been asked to share some of my questing and gaming experiences from VPN. Let me start by telling you a bit about myself. 

I LOVE video games. I have loved video games since my parents first bought the Atari system for our family. Oh the hours we spent playing Pong, Centipede and the ultmate family game Asteroids!! I still remember watching MY mom play that one…*rolls eyes* 

Anyway, I was really good at most video games which was odd for a girl back then. The boys hated playing against me because I would always win. Being good at games gave me a confidence I didn’t know I had. From there I graduated as the gaming systems got better and better. The day I got my laptop was the day I discovered online games. Unfortunately, I was never as good at those as I am at video games. However, I found the community fun and a great escape from the pressures of life. And I love being able to help others have fun!

I found Twin Skies through a friend and was immediately drawn to this community. In the past, I have found MMO games to be intimidating…something I didn’t understand and seemed to be more for the college-aged crowd…I felt too old and too inexperienced. I was quickly proved wrong as I navigated my way around Twin Skies.

Now I have found my place with VPN. I play a Pirate. I thought about trying a Viking and Ninja also but realized this would take way too much time and energy for me! And while I have nothing against Vikings and Ninja’s per se, I think the Pirate is the best looking…

Yesterday I had the pleasure of building monuments all over the island and was rewarded handsomely for my hard work. I turned in my first set of 8 rune flowers to be given a wondrous Ghost Axe. Oh how much stronger I felt! A short while later, after a few failed attempts to gain rune chips, I turned in my second set of 8 rune flowers to be awarded an amazing Ghost Sword. Immediately I felt so much more intelligent! Alas, my feelings of strength and intelligence wavered as I turned in my third set of rune flowers only to be given the Ghost Axe again. I think the poor old traveler was a bit confused, but I thanked him anyway and left to prove myself once again. It was worth the effort, as I turned in my next set of 8 rune flowers to find I was given the last prize, the Runic Robe. I bowed with respect, took my robe, and wondered if I would see this old traveller again…. 

With my goals met and gaming done (blast that ninja, a tale for another time), I set out to help others on their journey…until next time…

Meteor Credit Store!

The Meteor Credit Store has been released!  There are some glitchy things happening right now, but be patient.  They’ll work out the kinks.  :)

The Credit Card option isn’t working atm, but Adam said in the forums he’ll be working on that again on Monday.  For now, you can get MC with PayPal or through special offers!  Don’t forget the Barbershop when you start spending your MC.
