Release Notes 2009-07-02

Join the Club!

Greetings denizens of the Whirled! Today, as promised, we are launching the Club Whirled subscription plan.

This is an entirely optional subscription that for $4.95 each month gives you a host of benefits:


 * 45 Bars every month
 * A limited edition item only for Club Whirled members. These items will be created by Three Rings and commissioned from Whirled creators. The first is the very special Club Whirled Tofu made by ooo artist Nemo.
 * Create parties for free
 * Spread your message to the whole Whirled with /broadcast -- non-members will cease to have Broadcast available
 * Your name listed at the top of all rooms and games
 * A star next to your name
 * Access certain new Whirled features before everyone else

You can sign up on the Club Whirled Page, and in addition to the subscription plan you can recieve the non-Bar benefits of Club Whirled by paying 20 bars.

As a small thank you we have given free Club Whirled memberships to alpha testers who are active as of this post, and creators who have sold over a certain threshold of bar-denominated items. Welcome to the Club!

That's about it for this release apart from some under-the-hood changes. For those of you in the US of A, Happy 4th of July! On a personal note, this is my 11th anniversary in the US. Hurrah!
