Housing Preview

If you haven’t already seen the housing preview released by Donna today on the forums, here it is:

This is a very early preview, using images that Ollie (flash programmer) found on the servers. As you can see from the preview, there will be windows, doors, floor and wall additions, and furniture.

VPN Updates 5.20.09

Lots of little thingies to report. The first thing I’d like to let you know is that they brought the energy levels down again. MG still made some changes, though. Now, you’ll only get a point increase for every level you gain. They also changed the amount of energy required for quests.

They added a switcheroo game to each starting island. Galleon Graveyard for Pirates, Peaceful Monestary for Vikings, and Misty Lake for Ninjas. Also, they’ll be putting out a VPN version of Witchery 101 and the Wheel of Cats later on this week.

Finally, they’ve added more Buddy Icons to the Media Gallery.

Energy and Database Changes

You may have logged into your VPN account to see your character have energy looking like this:

crazy-high-energy

and you probably rejoiced a bit…hold on a moment.  Click on “Quests.”  There…ya see?  Everything is still balanced.  VPN had a major energy-overhaul today.  You have more energy, yeah, but it also costs more energy to do stuff now.   Also, the energy potions in the Meteor Store will now recharge 100 points.  Is it going to stay this way?   Who knows…the important thing to remember is that the game is in BETA, so if you don’t like it, politely let someone know through a feedback form or in a thread on the forums.  ALSO, if you love the change, let someone know that as well.  I’m sure Meteor Games likes to hear positive feedback.

Also, as we’re sure you’ve noticed, the VPN and Meteor Games sites have been crashing quite a bit.  They’re working on this.  This week, they’re working on changing over to a different format for their databases that will handle the higher load it’s been getting (poor thing…working itself literally to death).

Old Format...Meet Thy DOOM!!!!!

New Meteor Games Forums

You can forget all doubts you may have had that The Meteorites staff aren’t dedicated. It has just passed 3 am, and I’m posting news from my phone. Anyway, onto the news :)
Meteor Games has transferred their forums from twinskies.com to meteorgames.com. The forums have a new design, and from what I can tell, all posts have been transferred as well. They are still working on the forums, so they may change over the next day or so.
