Release Notes 2009-04-01

Right Round Baby Right Round (April Fool's Day)

Good morning loyal denizens. We've worked long and hard to bring you a slew of improvements to our services:


 * Anything you say in chat now has a 0.01% chance of being turned into a broadcast for all of Whirled to see! Enjoy!
 * You can now pay to warp Cleaver into your room. He may be asleep, but it'll still be Cleaver idling in your room and you can party down. If he gets warped more than five times in an hour, a bidding war starts. Bidding starts at 30 bars.
 * Agents are now available on a for-pay basis to mediate divorces, breakups, discreet confirmation of "cheating," initial contact with your crush, and various other delicate personal matters. All decisions made by Agents in these matters are permanent and binding, and payment must be made up front.
 * We are introducing a fourth and a fifth currency called the Shiny and the Static, respectively. We believe this will simplify things immensely. We further believe that half the fun will be for you all to discover the details about these new currencies yourselves, so go forth and explore!
 * In order to help players locate high quality items, we will be adding 5 more stars to the shop rating system. The new ratings are: Extrordinary, Awesome, Neat-o, Cherub and Better-Than-Tofu with list prices of: 10k coins, 15k coins, 20k coins, 50k coins and 1 million dollars respectively.
 * Following the popular Y!PP feature, we will be adding item decay to Whirled. One pixel will disappear each time an item is loaded, and rooms will get 1 pixel shorter.
 * Instead of default tofu you will now have a choice of: tofu, tempeh, tofurkey, jambalaya or lentil.
 * New Feature: Insta-stack. Will instantly sort avatars in the room by type, and arrange them in a eye-pleasing geometric arrangements.

Also:


 * In the next release, your avatar's size will be tied directly to your Whirled level.
 * We'll be having a Cleaver Rave at 12:00 p.m. Pacific time today! Put on your Cleaver and join us!
