Prizes can be collected for collecting different combinations of eggs. Eggs are not tradable so if you want to earn prizes you will have to earn them!

There is no limit to the number of each prize you can collect so hard work is rewarded, get hunting!!

Throughout the game you will come across hearts which require energy to collect. The competition starts on 13/02/2013 @ 21:00 and ends 16/02/2013 @ 10:00.

24 hours before the competition is due to start a new menu option will appear in the menu which will give details of the competition and show you how many hearts you have accumulated.

Be careful when playing Cupid as if you come across a black heart you will loose one of your red hearts! However you will also come across triple hearts which are worth 3 hearts but cost 12 energy to pick up so make sure that you have enough energy to collect.

Hearts can also be mugged from other players so why not take revenge on your enemies by stealing love hearts from them to prevent them from winning the competition! Each heart has a points value which will be revealed at the end of the competition. The top 3 players with the most points at the end of the competition will receive a prize.

Credit Item Sale

Through the duration of the competition we will also be making various offers so make sure you login to grab yourself a bargain!

Below is a summary of what we have added.

Christmas Pack

We have added a Christmas Pack in the Credit Item Store where you get over 200 credits worth of items for just 80 credits! It will only be available at this discounted price for a limited time only so be sure to snap yours up quick!

Within the Christmas Pack is a Christmas Pack special “The Grinch”. The Grinch is not available separately in the Credit Item Store and can only be obtained by purchasing the Christmas Pack. The Grinch allows you to steal Presents from other players Christmas Trees!!

Once you have activated The Grinch you can go to a players profile then click on the View Turf button under the actions bar.

Please note each player can only purchase 1 Christmas Pack each.

More Premium Membership Perks

As a way to say thank you to our Premium Members we have now allowed Premium Members to deposit double the amount of normal members in the City Bank which is $1,000,000,000.

In addition to this Premium Members also get a 33% higher interest rate at the City Bank when depositing money. This is available on both daily and weekly banks.

We have plans to improve our Premium Memberships even further, so stay tuned for further updates.

We wanted to write this summary blog post to explain everything we have done and why it’s so important.

Tweaks and changes

  • We have re-structured the amount of energy possible from a combination of perks and premium membership to 12 every 3/mins (previously 24). We made this change to make ranking a little more challenging.
  • We completely re-coded our anti script protection. All core aspects of the game are now protected from simple scripts.
  • In our re-code of the anti script protection we also added a strike system. A strike is received for not entering an anti script check in a reasonable amount of attempts. If you receive the strike you will be automatically logged out and will need to re-login to continue playing. If you receive 3 strikes you will receive a weeks ban for suspicious scripting behaviour. You have been warned.
  • We added improvements and fixes to the crew invite and organised crime invite systems. Which had become a little corroded as we’ve moved through the versions. They now work just fine.
  • We added some niceties to our helpdesk ticketing system to speed up answering all of your tickets.
  • We worked on 3 new competitions (1 of which has already been and gone) but we still have 2 new ones coming. With the next one kicking off on saturday 15th.
  • We made various security improvements to alot of key pages.
  • We prepped and got ready the crew chat feature for release again next week.

Bugs

As you’ll know if you have been playing we have swooped to cleanse Street Crime of some of it’s buggy accounts and players. Due to earlier glitches in the system some subtle but serious bugs went un-noticed. We worked hard to gather evidence and follow the breadcrumb trail until we found the perpetrators and the problems. A small list of bug fixes can be found below:

  • Script prevention on core aspects of the game
  • Higher than normal energy levels bug (super gangster)
  • Turfs not having correct amount of buildings on them
  • Players not having a location set
  • Airport script security
  • Redirections from protected pages now working
  • Valid referrals have been fixed

We hope you enjoy the tweaks and the fairer world it should leave behind. If you do find a bug or think something is not working quite right please do alert an admin, if we find that you have exploited a bug you will only have yourself to blame when your account is banned. In some cases we even offer rewards!!

Now that your all gearing up for the festive period and we are looking forward to seeing some super competitive competitions in the coming weeks!!!!

Any players who are currently Premium Members will be able to make use of this straight away. If you are not already a Premium Member why not take this opportunity to get a Membership now and take advantage of its useful perks! Get a Premium Membership.

What didn’t seem to go so well was the concept. In defending your 50 bags of sweets, we expected players to regularly fly and make themselves a difficult target. There was a bit of confusion over whether or not you would get the bags of sweets you stole rather than just stealing them and eating them from other players. The competition also had a few minor hiccups in it, which we’re ironed out during the competition.

We’ve decided that since it seems to make more sense, we’ll launch a V2 of the trick or treat competition tonight and in doing so change the way the competition works!

In tonights competition you will get +1 bags of sweets for every bag stolen and the players with the most bags of sweets at the end of the competition will win!

The competition will kick off at 16:00 game time TODAY and will go on until midnight on the 3rd. We’ve also decided to add some big prizes for the top 3 players of this competition. You can use the same link to view the competition from 16:00 today.
