by platinum ninja on March 12th, 2010
Hey Everyone,
It’s that time of the week again. Time to let you all know what has been going on here in the Yoville Office with fixes, new stuff, and new changes in the works!! Let’s check it all out..
Fixes
Round # 2 of Bug Bashing has begun.The exterminators were out and in full force attacking these pesky bugs … YAY!! The following has been resolved.
1) Dance Floor lighting up when you and your friends are on it..
2) Being able to Set your Default Home and change the name of your Home…
3) Able to get into the water again and go swimming!!
4) We have renamed the following item from Whimsical Grape Berry Plant to Whimsical Purple Berry Plant to reduce players having issues with getting Banned from Events. So please refer to this item as Whimsical Purple Berry Plant in Event Titles…
5) Updating Saved Images on Yoville.com - showing your room at it’s most recent state on your profile. With this issue fixed we have just restarted the room contest so go ahead and re-submit: “Best Whimsical Room”
We are still working on isolating some other bugs for Bug Bash Round #3 that are currently listed in our Known Issues List . We understand that bug issues can be frustrating, however please remember that if they are on this list it means that our team is aware and working hard to resolve them. So let’s all please make sure we are helping keep the forums clean.
I wanted to go ahead and also point out that we are aware of the Key Issues with them not resetting and our team is working on this but wanted to also let you know we are looking into some other extra options for you all to be able to receive more keys.
What to Expect…
As Pink mentioned there are going to be some major changes to the design and look of our game. We will be blogging about more details and how to’s related to these changes, however to take a peek at what it is going to look like you can check out Pink Ninja’s Blog HERE . We wanted to give you all the heads up that we will be testing this to some players so some of you may experience these new layouts while others will continue to see the same layout we currently have. So stay tuned!
Items, Items and more Items! We have another collectible coming soon as well as some awesome new clothes and some more Whimsical items to decorate your rooms with. We have also just kicked off our St. Patrick’s Day Theme today so keep your eye out on more to come before the big day!

Crazy Cat Costume Now Rare
The crazy cat costume has been pulled from the fashion store making it a rare item. I have already seen them going for up to 60k earlier today.
Colored Keys
Its time to post and collect keys. When you see the flashing sets of keys as you are out and about in Yoville click on them and post em to your wall so your friends can collect them to open the free gift chests. If you run short on keys you can purchase more for two yocash each.

Recap of this month and Sneak Peak at next month!
Hi Guys,
As February is coming to a close, so are the themes from this month.
We saw the last items from Lovers vs Heartbreakers last week. This week we finished up our Chinese New Year and Winter Sport items as well. With the exception of more Flags to come!
This month has been different than several of the past months because we tried to cover a few holidays and world events all in one month. Several of you have been requesting that we add more items based on international holidays or events, and that’s exactly what we are trying to do.
Luckily this means that we were able to provide a large variety of items that appealed to different types of Players. On the down side, it did seem that some of you were disappointed in what you considered to be “incomplete” themes. Please do understand that there are only so many items we can make and release in one month. This means that if we have a base theme for the month and add in a few holidays or events ,we have to make fewer items for the base theme. Also when we make items for holidays or events they generally will not be a complete theme.
If you compare the amount of items that are released per month now vs previous months, you should notice a significant increase. This month alone we saw 225 items released.
For an example compare this to the month that we released Arabesque and Louis XIV you should see the difference.
vs
This is based on player feedback asking for more items and for us to add more international holidays.
Add on clothing, free gifts and features.. and we have enough to keep an army of people busy every month! =)
Next month our base theme is going to be Modern Whimsical! Think a Yo in Wonderland and you might get a good mental picture of what’s to come. Expect new houses, lots of furniture items and tons of fun topsy turvy styled items!
You can also expect some St Patrick’s Day items and of course many more Flags.
We are not removing any flags when the Olympics are over. These items were added because we’ve seen consistent requests for them from those who what to show pride in their Country. We’ll continue adding to them throughout next month. We would have loved to add all the flags at once, unfortunately there are just too many to do in one release. We want to make sure that everyone out there gets the flag that represents them. This is going to take a little time to do.
Lovers vs Heartbreaker items will most likely be leaving the stores next month so get them while you can! We will let you know when we put timers on the items.
Have a wonderful weekend YoVillians!

Get Promoted at the Factory!! Coming Soon
by platinum ninja on March 2nd, 2010
Hey Everyone,
We will be adding some new changes to the Factory soon that will show you your current level in the factory, give you an option to get promoted quicker and give you all a clear breakdown of the different titles in the Factory. Let’s check out how this is going to work…
You will be able to see a meter when you go to work at the bottom of the screen. This will meter will show your progress of your titles at work. If you have the highest title in Yoville you will have the arrow all the way to the top. So strive for the highest level and get that meter going up up up!
If you click on the Get Promoted you will be given the options to Buy More Neighbors(which is currently already an option in the Bank too) or Add Neighbors. You will also be shown your current title and salary..
If you would like to see the breakdown of the titles and the number of neighbors simply click on the ? Mark. We will show you how many Neighbors you need to have for certain Job Titles.
*Please note that the breakdown of Neighbor Size and pay out will not change from what it is now - it will remain the same. We are simply making this information more available for players to see the breakdown of how much they could be making with more neighbors*
Well that’s about all folks!! Good luck reaching that dream job of being Vice President!!

NEW COLLECTIBLE!!
Here are the new collectible's so hurry up to the stores and buy them now! I'm a little disappointed to see the American flag missing from the flag rollout today. I know they were already releases on independence day but it sill didnt seem right to have them missing. Well they are all 10yocash which of course I like!
Happy Shopping,
Doc. H
