The Meteorites

Not long ago, me and another VPN player had money removed from our accounts via auctioned items. Right now, we are unsure as to whether or not this is just a glitch, although it seems to be coming from a hacker. If you believe you have been targeted (ie money missing from your account, message from auction you didn’t bid on), check your inventory, bank and money balance. Note any changes and send in a bug report. Meteor Games is working to resolve the issue as I type this. We also urge you to change your password, email if you want to be extra safe. This may/may not prevent an attack, or stop another one, but is a safety precaution worth taking.

Edit: Crisis over!  *cough* I found out problem *cough*

Finally.  Let there be rejoicing!  Inventory Upgrades!  3 quests have been added to each starting island that reward bags, which will increase your inventory size.  You’ll notice 2 slots that can be unlocked by purchasing them through the Meteor Store.  Those will be released sometime next week.

Pink Out!

The whole crew are back together for episode 7 of the only Meteor Games related podcast.

The VPN Chat has just hit version 9.9. With it come some exciting new emotes: flirt, dance, yawn. Not only are there new emotes, there is also a new action: throw tomato.

Edit: The Photo Booth’s now work. Head on over to the photo booth on your starting island, and take a picture. At the moment it only takes a shot of the head, but this image now shows up in your navigation bar:

The Twin Skies favorite that stole all our meteorites back in the old days has now been added to VPN…that’s right, folks: Plaice Your Bets. Not much has changed. Make a bet…decide your risk…and let it spin…

New Premium Hairstyles have been added to the Barbershop, you can now play minigames 5 times per character, and they’ve changed the navigation bar on the top of your screen.
