Beta 0.2 UpdateWe've been hard at work fixing any reported problems as well as problems we've found on our end. So far, we are very happy with your feedback and the performance of our servers. The servers went up June 15th and never came down until this update! Please continue to let us know how we're doing via our forums and support/feedback emails. As always, Onverse is here to be an awesome place for you and your friends to hang out online. We hope you enjoy this update.
Game Updates Content
A little more on the item tiering system:
We added an instance of Volcano Island and there should be 3 floors to pick from in the free apartments. If we need more, we can add these on-the-fly. Help ButtonWe added a help button to your command buttons. Currently this will simply take you to our game tips on the website, which have also been improved. We hope to increase the usability of this button in-game in the near future, as well as work on a tutorial system to help guide our new users. Better Graphics Options
Incomplete Downloads: This should not have been happening with the provider we were using to host our download. We have moved the download to another service that should be faster and more reliable. Non-US Countries Having Trouble Buying CCsWe discovered a problem here with the passing of IP addresses. We should hopefully have this fixed (it's separate from the Onverse update) by this evening. Let me know if there are still issues tonight/tomorrow. Thanks for your patience on this one! Virus Protection SoftwareWe have our software signed now so any virus protection you have should have a better time accepting the install. Onverse has no viruses, yay! Other Bugs
Play Now Button We added this button so you can launch Onverse from the web. Unfortunately a last minute find was that it won't work for Windows Vista and 7 users. We know the fix, but didn't want to delay everything else for another day. Temporarily it will just tell you where to launch Onverse from. We are hoping for another update next week that we will get this functional for. Invite Friends Button This takes you to a new page for inviting friends. We've added two new options for inviting friends. We now generate a link that you can copy and paste anywhere (social networks, websites, email, chat, etc). Anyone who uses this link to come to the site and sign up will grant you 25 Cash Coins and will automatically be added to your friends list. We also added a section where you can enter what email address you would like to send the link FROM, and then list any email addresses you want to send the link TO below. A lot of people didn't use the email providers listed in our friend inviter and this should allow anyone to invite. Website Timeout Increase We have increased the time limit for when you seem idle and time out on the forums. This was catching some people (myself included) while they were typing long posts, or simply taking a break. Friend Updates We changed the format of the Friend Updates section of your Friends page. We now group all user activities into a single daily update, rather than a new update every time. This cuts down the amount of space the updates were taking up tremendously. Game Tips We have added our load screens to these tips for some graphical goodness. Sincerely, Steve M. Pierce II CEO - Onverse |
