I want to thank everybody for being so patient with the recovery
of this product, as well as helping each other with problems. We
have a lot of great things to look forward to in 2012 in terms
of enhancing the Dodos, and appreciate your interest.
Let’s make 2012 the “Year of the Dodo!”
While this was not expected to be released until early next year,
and we wanted to put more focus on giving you all some new things
for the holiday season, we needed to deploy an emergency update
to fix a couple security problems that have been being used to
cause harm to the product, on a wide scale. Unfortunately, this
was so urgent it left little room to do proper QA testing, and
some other problems were created.
I have received reports that with this update, some people are
experiencing their Dodo being transformed into a tiny ball.
While this is inconvenient for certain, it can be resolved by
recreating the Dodo with the support tool. This will
unfortunately require another update to fix.
You might have also noticed Attributes are no longer visible.
It’s no secret, the Racing mini game has received little to no
interest. A decision was made to cease development on the
Racing mini game so more time can be allocated to enhancing the
Dodo breedable itself. I realize this will not be a popular
decision for everyone, however for the health of the product this
was a decision that needed to be made.
Lastly, it came to my attention that the Heaven/Raffle system
was down, asserting a “network problem.” This was likely due to
some of the “quick fixes” that needed to be made last night in
order to ensure everybody has a “fair” experience, as the Heaven
system was being used in a way it was not designed for giving
many an unfair advantage. While inconvenient, it was the lesser of
the two evils, and has since been corrected.
