Hey HP!


 


We've got some more new updates for you all this morning :).


 


I know this is a double update today, so I'm sorry about that! I've included the chat party information in this post as well so that it doesn't get lost.


 


Chat Party


Join us in chat tonight at 7 pm HP time for games, giveaways, and fun!


 


We've also got some games going in the forums, so check those out to get in on some pre-party fun.


 


See you then, HP!


 


Forum Ranking


We have added another ranking category for forum posts! You can now see it here.


 


Club Updates


You can now register multiple animals at a time with a  check-box system rather than the drop down. It still charges $1k HPD per animal registered and you get 1000 points if your animal is accepted.


 


In addition, there is now an events section for clubs, so that presidents and mods can see when and to who club money was sent.


 


HPP Changes


We've made some major changes with the way you can spend HPP! We think it will make things less confusing and overall be a better system for spending those points you earn.


 


You can no longer spend your HPP directly in the cash shop, and you can no longer trade referral points for HPD in the bank or for upgrade time on the upgrades page as we are no longer differentiating between HPP and referral points.


 


You earn 1 HPP for each player achievement you get, 1 HPP when someone you refer signs up for the game, and 1 HPP if a person you refer upgrades their account.


 


You can now trade in your HPP for HPD, HPB, upgrade time, or animal points on this page (which you can find under your "Home" drop down). The rates of conversion are currently:


4 HPP = 1 HPB (cash shop credit)


1 HPP = 1,000,000 HPD


10 HPP = 1 month upgrade


1 HPP = 1000 animal points


 


We hope that this new system will be better for the game overall. It's a big change, but we used some of the feedback from our recent survey to decide what perks would be better suited to what players want.


 


In addition to giving you more options for trade-in, it will also make it easier for you to use what you earn because previously you couldn't move HPP between accounts, so you had to earn enough on one account to use in the cash shop, but now you'll be able to move HPD and HPB.


 


We know it's different to not be able to use it in the cash shop, but the conversion rates between HPP and HPB are the same here and they were previously in the cash shop.


 


Misc. Notes


I also want to just give a quick update about grand championship shows, which is a new level of showing that we have been talking about since the beginning of this year. This feature was planned to come around with this round of updates, but based on feedback from players and just general needs for the game, we have pushed that development back in favor of some of this stuff.


 


We know a lot of people were looking forward to those, and they are still in the plans for a future update, but we thought it best to shuffle things around a bit.


 


HOWEVER, with the exception of grand championship shows, we have accomplished everything we talked about in the HP State of the Union Address earlier this year! Yay!


 


We're looking forward to all of our holiday events, and then a new year and a new rounds of updates on HP.


 


 


As always, please let me know if you encounter any bugs or issues with these updates :).


 


We've got a few more exciting things coming your way next week, so stay tuned!


 


Happy Friday!


 


-Sam
