Pets round 2, new pet betting shop, competitions & more

Pets Round 2

Round 2 of the pets is in full action. You can also now kill your pet if you wish. Sorry for the delay and the recent server hiccups, gotta love teething problems!

Promo Code

Have the promo code for the recent hiccups: Aug4th

Pet Betting
Have an idea who will win either most wins or highest level this month? Then go to the Dead City pet betting shop to place your bets. Bets are priced at $2,000 each and you can bet on any amount of pets as much as you want. You will only be able to bet on pets within the first 5 days of the month, so you can watch the pets a little and see who's steaming ahead to get your bets in. (Because this round started late, the betting time will start for 5 days from now)

July Competition Winner
The total amount paid out on lottery is: $6,081,195,000. Nobody got it exact, but the closest person was Duke Danse Macambre (85239) with the guess of $6,174,292,000, 25 plasma is coming your way!

August Competition

Another simple guessing competition. The NPC arena arrived back in the Dead City just over 2 weeks ago. But how much blood do you think it's paid out so far? (Until July 31st).  Click here to have one free guess. Get it exact you win 200 plasma, if nobody guesses exact, the closest guess will get 25 plasma.

August's adopt an animal

Thanks to everyone who bought a charity pack last month to help us raise money for the RSPCA. Here are the results for the adopt an animal poll:

Panda:  5.71%
Polar Bear:  22.8%
Dolphin:  14.2%
Tiger:  28.57%
Elephant:  5.71%
Rhino:  2.85%
Leopard:  2.85%
Turtle:  2.85%
Penguin:  8.57%
Jaguar:  8.57%

As you can see, the winner is TIGER. So all money raised this month will be donated to WWF's Tiger campaign.

Thanks & enjoy!

Watch the pets! End of the month is coming...

Watch the pets

Although every pet round will probably be different, but, for an upcoming pet related feature this weekend, you might want to copy/paste or memorise the top pets this month. I'm not going to say why, but it may be we wise to keep a note, as they will not be available when the round is reset Sunday evening. Click here to view the pet leaderboards.

End of the month

The end of the month is this weekend, which means the July competition, the VIP/plasma special, the chance to vote for next month's charity animal adoption, the summer surprises, all end this weekend!

Toolbar

The toolbar campaign is still active, although we haven't hit our target yet. When we do, I will still release the juicy promo code. I know a slight hinder in this is that it's not available on Chrome yet, I've asked the developers, and they say it's coming. When? We're not sure yet.

Surprise pack

Some of you last week may have noticed the limited edition summer surprise pack. If you were around and managed to get one, what did you think? Let me know in the comments.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend as I code new stuff =)

Have fun,
Ash

NPC and Pet updates!

NPC werewolf arena changes
Thanks for all the great feedback so far. Here are some changes I've made:

- The stats of the NPC are no longer visible, what is displayed is the "Power".
- Stat randomisation. The NPCs stats now have a slight random factor added in. They can have their stats increased by 5% or reduced by 5%. There is a 50/50 chance whether their stats will be lowered or increased. Keep in mind they can also get +2%, -3%, +4% etc.
- Fixed a bug that made the page layout mess up for some IE users.

Pet Updates
Thanks again for all the pet feedback so far too. Here are some updates:

- Pets are now displayed on your profiles (v2 only), this can be turned off.
- Pet name  / pet ID search
- You can now add a bio to your pet
- Kill your pet has been added, but will be unlocked next month
- Quick stats box across the top of the arena pages
- Fixed a bug that made pets appear they had 15 minute protection.
- Work place added to Mount Tilia (if you run out of cash to use the portal)
- Wins from being attacked no longer counts towards your "wins". Your wins is now labeled as "attack wins", meaning wins you have earned through attacking. This is because of the abuse of having another pet constantly attack you and lose, in order for you to be able to earn more QP. These wins are still counted in your "total wins" count.
-  The monthly pet reset script is now in place and ready for midnight 31st July.
- The win milestone to earn QP will be tweaked at the start of next month.

The end of the round is coming in a few days. It will be good to see what people have learned about the system this month, and what stratagies they'll use next month.

End of month approaching
The July competition, the VIP/plasma special, the chance to vote for next month's charity animal adoption, the summer surprises, all end this weekend! (You have until Saturday night to use your surprises)

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Main reset problems & summer surprise in specials

Main reset problems

We are aware of some of variables not resetting properly, I am spending the next few days working on optimising the database and getting this fixed. I am sorry for the inconvenience, for the trouble, a promo code you can use: mainresetbugged

Suprise pack

For those on the other night, you would have seen the awesome rare surprise pack, they sold pretty fast! There maybe more to come in the future.

One week left

There is one week left of the July competition, where you could win up to 1000 plasma. There is also one week left on the vote for next month's adopted animal. The tiger is currently winning, but not by far! Get a charity pack in the next week to be able to vote for the animal we adopt with next month's charity revenue. Remember that the money raised this month goes to the RSPCA.

Plasma special
All special packs sold (from now) has  "summer surprises" added to them. You get x amount of surprises in each of the packs, then you can go to the Dead City and redeem them for a extra free gift!  Click here to check them out. What's better, is everyone gets 1 free summer surprise!

This special will end 1 week from today. (Next Saturday night)

Enjoy the weekend!
