    TGIF! Here’s your development news round-up for the past week!

    Player Bans October 18 - October 24

    As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes.

    FB: 12
    KPs2: 14

    The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us.

    If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved.

    World Chat is Now Free on Facebook and Kano Play Server 1!

    This week we turned off the need for Speakers on World Chat for Facebook and Kano Play Server 1. If you were wondering what happened to your accumulated Speakers, now you know!

    Support Report with your favorite burrowing nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark!

    Happy Halloween, players!

    Are you stoked for an evening of sugar consumption, cheesy decor, and amusing garments? I am! Although I kind of wish I had constructed something that could be more easily packed up and taken on the bus. ಠ_ಠ

    A tip for your Support tickets! Many player use slang, abbreviations, and other shorthand when talking about the game. This is totally fine, but it's helpful to be aware that a lot of jargon has been made up by small groups of people. Players outside of your normal crowd (and Support staff) might not be familiar with the terms you use.

    Most of the time we can figure out new jargon by look at t context, but this can be challenging if the whole ticket consists of one sentence about how the cadence of the MPG is barring entry on your console, or something.

    You can help us figure out your issue more quickly by using the same language used by the game itself, or by including a quick definition in brackets the first time you use a term that might not be universally known. Screenshots are also very handy! :)

    Cheers,

    Aardvark
