Valentines Event 2016

Valentines Event 2016

It's that time of year again. Love is all around, and the killing is even more brutal. This years Valentine's will include old favourites and some new treats.  Are you ready?

The Reigning Couple

As I posted a couple days ago, the Reigning Couple will be alive in this event. Grab a partner and take part, and the top couples will win roses at the end of the event. Every couple will get a rose for taking part too, of course.

Seasonal Equipment

You might remember that back in Christmas 2015 I introduced a new seasonal equipment slot. Now, as a new event is upon us, it is time to further take advantage of this awesome feature.

This Valentine's seasonal equipment type will be Heart Lockets.  Purchase and upgrade them in the Valentines event section of the Dead City.

Ripping 'earts

The heart ripping is back! Battle other vampires to have a chance to rip their hearts out, and then trade those hearts for more turns or roses.  Delicious. You can then trade roses for more rewarding rewards.

Give Love

Where would Valentines be if you couldn't show your love to another? Well, once again you can. Go to a vampire's profile and give love until you go blue in the face, (or your bank account dries up).

Annual Love/Hate Vote

The big vote is on. Do you love or hate Valentines? Cast your vote for a free prize.

VIP & Plasma Special

Once again you can get your mitts on a deliciously tempting plasma special.  There is also a lovely little couples special pack with a unique collectible colour variant as well.

This event will run from the 11th to the 18th, starting right now.

Enjoy,
Ash

Valentines Event (Part 1)

Valentines Reigning Couple

The Valentines event is just around the corner. In fact, it'll begin on the Thursday 11th February. We will be once again having a Reigning Couple event throughout the Valentines period, and it is now open for entry. Go to Dead City and find someone to pair up with to tear hearts of your opponents. Prizes will be given to the top couples at the end of the Valentines event. The heart ripping count will begin on the 11th, but i'm giving you time to get prepared.

Pancake Today

Happy pancake day everyone. Make sure you've got 'pancake' in your name, and keep it there tomorrow to get yourself a free collectible.

See you soon,
Ash

Pancake Parade

It's that delicious time of year again when we consume more pancakes than we probably should. To celebrate pancake day (9th Feb) in all its glory, we want to spread the pancake joy across Reign Of Blood.

Put the word "pancake" in your username somewhere, and you'll get a free collectible! Keep it in your name until the morning of the 10th when I will do the check and give them out. I'll announce on the game updates page when the prizes have been given and you can go back to your old self.

Let's be creative, shall we?

Enjoy,
Ash

Looking Ahead In 2016

What's next?

I'm going to take some time to just mill over some thoughts in my head, and try to lay them out here. So, looking ahead into 2016, as I've said before, part 2 of the new equipment system will be coming up soon.  It's taking longer than expected, damn RL, but it's coming along nicely. I'll be doing some more research on the part 1 updates and see what people are doing with that, and make any changes if required. A few other things I'd like to take the time to mention are as follows.

Bugs

I do try and fix reported bugs as soon as possible. I keep an eye on all newly posted forum threads and my BLs throughout the day. But sometimes, bugs can slip through the cracks. Either because I missed them being reported, can't replicate the error, or my mind betrays me. If you know of any bugs, and think you've already reported, and they've not yet been fixed. Please re-post them or send me a BL. Sometimes I just need a couple bangs on the head.

My To-Do

My to-do list is huge. I am going to work tirelessly to get it empty before 2016 ends. You might say that's a long way off, but my list really is huge. It's amazing just looking at some of them as they can be huge features themselves. The things on my list include new stuff to all parts of the game. New features, RP features, social features, the whole spectrum. It's just a shame I don't have 10 pairs of hands. 2016 will be the year I get RoB up to a much more solid level, I can't wait.

Suggestions From You

Just because my list is huge, it doesnt mean I don't add to it every day. And believe me, after I do my daily rummage through the forum and my BL's, I'm always adding ideas into my 'potentials' list. But I love doing that. If you have any ideas, please post a thread, or send them to me directly if you don't want the public spotlight. I'm doing this for you, so if there are ways I can make it better, please tell me. This applies to both suggestions and bug reports, I'm not scary. I don't bite. You can talk to me. I've had people tell me they don't always want to make suggestions because people think i'm some sort of unapproachable scary thing. If you have something to say, I want to hear.

I look forward to the rest of 2016.

Cheers,
Ash
