Outside Spaces + Q&A

Hey Lasoons,

It's been almost a month since the last blog post and we thought you might want another one. The past month has been an exceptionally busy one. We opened applications for Events Coordinators and were overwhelmed with the number of applicants. While we can't hire everyone, we wish we could! We were able to narrow down who we thought would be the best person for the job and that's when everyone said hello to Virtuoso! She's been doing an amazing job at working with the other staff, coming up with events and competitions. She even has a 7-part event that she's been working on, which you'll all be excited to see once it's out (I know I am!).

After hiring Virtuoso, we realized it would be best to bring on a new community manager to work closely with the Event Coordinators and make sure everyone is doing what they're supposed to be doing. That's when we hired Alex to be our new community manager. Like Virtuoso, he has been doing an amazing job directing the team and putting together lots of events which you'll see in the near future.

While we understand everyone's frustrations with timezones and events, we are still looking for one more Event Coordinator, preferably within an American time zone. In the meantime, we've been adjusting times on our events so that it covers the widest variety of timezones so everyone has a chance to attend the events.

So you may be wondering what's to come in the near future. A pretty big party that we've started planning is when we reach 10k players! We're at 9,631 now, so we estimate that we'll be at 10k in about 2 months based on the average registrations per day. If you have any great ideas, send them to Wombat or any of the events team.

In other news, the client development has been going quite successfully. Public/Private rooms are coming along nicely, walking has been completed with the exception of fine tuning. Calibrate has been working pretty hard on the inventory system, so that just leaves a few more UI elements to do.

Time for a preview! Behind the scenes, Dasaii has been working on touching up our current website. While he wants to keep it a secret, I've decided to share a sneak peak with you, if you see him around, don't tell him!

 

A few Q&A:

Harmsarella: Will you get to be able to block users from your house/space?
Answer: Yes

Harmsarella:Will you be able to decide the weather around your house or will it just match the lasuni one?
Answer: You'll be able to pick the weather once, but it won't affect the furniture. (A spring tree will still remain a spring tree).

Estria: That's pretty nice! Also, can we have an image preview next blog post? thank you. :)
Answer: See above :)

Anyways, that's it for this blog post. Thanks for reading, if you have any questions you'd like answered, leave them in the comments and we'll be sure to get back to you.
