It's something to keep your eye on, if SW if of interest to you. It seems to be getting quite heated. It would be shame to see some posts disappear, if that's the case. Sorry in advance (Ducky ;) ) I should have posted the direct link sooner. :shy:

Silly Astro! (hmm I seem to be saying that a lot lately! :hug: ) No need for apologies, nor even the link. You have been most excellent at keeping us all up to date! I know you like this game the best, and I think we all are just appreciative you have been, so we can stay updated! :2thunbs:

Welcome :hug: That's the great thing about this Forum and the Community we have here, everyone helps to keep us all informed. :2thunbs:
Well you know, I don't always think before I speak .. I mean type. lol :laugh2:
Everytime you say that (Silly Astro), it totally reminds me of the Trix cereal commercial! ROFL! :rofl1:
Edited my first post with the direct link too. ;)
Purpleduck:
Another Darren Green (staff) post, answering some of the issues we and others have brought up:
Well it's good to see everyone posting with such... passion!
I will try to explain things a little more clearly:
Level 40 XP Requirement:
In the release due out this week, players will be able to create missions for each other. These missions will pay out both XP and tokens, and can be set up to give XP for any one of the XP Paths (Social, Gamer, Artist, Explorer). The tokens do not come out of the player's pocket (who set the mission up), it is paid out by the system. You should be able to get one of the XP Paths up to 40 fairly quickly (and have fun doing it), especially if you already have some around lvl 20.
The reason why we created this restriction is that it would be very easy for a person to create several beta accounts, and get the 2000 tokens from each account, and gift them to their main avatar. Rest assured that we will monitor the progress of players over the coming months, and adjust the yardstick if it is too high. We just want to ensure people aren't able to "game" the beta bonuses (and to get everyone to help us test the new mission system).
Don't worry, no matter what we will ensure that all of you who have been active in SmallWorlds over the past 2-3 months will qualify.
2000 Token Reward:
This value was based on what people would have earned by completing the missions. We may revise it upwards to match any price rebalancing we may do when we launch. We are trying to compensate you back to a level that you would have been at if you were playing the post-beta version (and a little bit more).
Top 100 Spaces:
This will be mainly based on popularity - the number of people visiting your room. The rating itself is not so important, only that people tend to rate it favourably (i.e. you don't trick lots of people to visit your space by misrepresentation).
We are trying to stoke up a bit of competition, encouraging you to come up with ways to get people to come to your space often (hint: having an interesting and popular mission will do this as people will be wanting to earn XP and/or tokens to get their space set up and into the popularity list).
These are the final 4-6 weeks of testing, and we want to encourage as much activity as we can to make sure everything works, and get feedback so we can make final tweaks and improvements.
Purpleduck:
Now knowing the prize credits (for creating missions) don't come out of our empty pockets, this sounds more fun.
My thought was maybe if we all created a mission in the same XP Path, and played each others.. we should indeed easily level up to 40. They only require one path to be level 40 to get the "goods".
I do notice he said they will be sure we all qualify.. now that could use a bit of clarification.. what, we don't have to do our own missions now? But of course being a quest-a-holic, I would love to do them ;)
Happy:
Thanks for the update Ducky. It is encouraging news. :clapping:
mummykat:
Whew!!
What a relief. As I was reading through this thead I was thinking NO WAY am I going to be able to host a mission/quest with my remaining 18 credits. LOL Now, I see that tokens will be paid by the "system". Thank goodness!!
I agree that if we unite we can help each other out with quests/missions to gain the needed 40 level. As well as visiting each other's rooms to boost popularity.
I guess of the 3 "VMK replacement" games I have been playing, SW has been my least favorite lately. A few reasons being, no new missions, no way to earn credits, moved my stuff around in my space too many times already, changed my clothes and hair enough times, ppl on my friend list are rarely on anymore. Guess I just got bored with it. But, this new information sounds promising!!
