The UK has moved into the BST time zone marking the start of longer, brighter days!
Despite having one less hour, the progress to the Vitare Alpha continued to gain momentum. This weekend (so far) there has been positive progress across the board.
- Weekly V$ Login Bonus – Signing into the game every week now rewards you with in-game currency!
- This resets every Monday and you can sign in anytime during the week to claim!
- A notification appears after you sign in so you know you’ve claimed your bonus.
- Moderation Tools – A profanity filter has been added to chat and registration, alongside tools for moderators to ban players.
- Those who end up banned will see a message informing them of how long the ban lasts and why it has happened.
- Lot Categories – Lots now have proper categories beyond ‘general’.
- Still need to build functionality to be able to edit the category of existing lots.
- These may evolve over time but will pave the way for being able to find lots via category search.
- Lot Search – Speaking of search, you can now search by lot name in the map view. Categories are next, and then Player name search.
- Home Lot Indicator – The map view currently supports up to 10,000 lots, so it’s not always the easiest to find your lot! We have added a house icon which hovers above your lot to make this easier.
- Wall View Toggle – You can now play with walls up (default) or walls down, so you can see into the lots you have built.
- There’s still some bugs with placing/removing walls in ‘walls down’ that need to be ironed out.
- Game Server Disconnection – If a player disconnects from the server, or our servers go offline for whatever reason, you will now immediately see a message.
- Edit Appearance – Added a button which takes you back into Character Creation. Changes are immediately viewable by other players.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this update and we will continue to share more.
