1- Due to the recent tampering with the spring event contest, myself and others players i'm guessing are wondering what does CNE intend to do about it and to prevent future
tampering attempts, and if the culprit is found, will they be banned for good perhaps

i have a few idea's fo CNE to prevent any foreseeable tampering attempts:

- increase/get better security for servers etc

- have a staff member perhaps pop in the office on weekends to check servers, and game
to make sure things are going smoothly


2-Mini-events - rewards, the current Endangered species event was good but a few players were saying they were only getting
topazes from the questers satchel which is not good, it has been suggested in past Q/A's , to improve rewards please, and perhaps make it appropriate to match the level a player is at too

3- GNOME idea's

JURASSIC PARK/JURASSIC WORLD

- Allan Grant
- Ian Malcom
- Ellie Satler
- John Hammond
- Dennis Nedry
- Owen Grady
- Claire Dearing

MEN IN BLACK

- Agent J
- Agent K
- Frank the Pug


OTHER MOVIES

- Austin Powers
- Inspector Jacque clouseau (Pink Panther movies)


4- Runes

So runes last X amount of days and at most a player only uses half of those days , if you think about it, because when we sleep our runes are still "Active", so we are loosing the chance etc if using them, so what I'm saying is we have a on/off switch for our runes which we can turn them off/on when we want to use them or go to bed or have a job to go to etc

Hi Nick,

Just a little reminder about the VIP Quest Whacks Buff: The toggle On/Off button is not operational when purchased with a VIP voucher.
Several months ago you said, "Fixing that is on my todo list." Is this something you still plan on working on?

1) It very disappointing to see this past photo contest tampered with. We're considering adding some restrictions to reporting and voting to prevent the same issues from happening in future photo contests.

2) I do agree the Quester's Satchel drops deserve a re-evaluation, and will consider that for the next Quality of Life upate.

3) Great list of gnomes! We'll see if we can sneak 'em in for future content somewhere. Maybe the Dino Dig for the Jurassic Park gnomes.

4) Justin balanced the Rune expiry with the assumption players wouldn't be playing the game all the time. And doing it this way does give players the option to play more to make better use of the runes should they choose to, but a small amount of daily play should still benefit from using runes.

It's not a high priority compared to other tasks, but it's still on my todo list to consider. Sorry for the delay.

one more question that has been asked in the past: Is it possible to get a medium or dark brown carpet square please? It's one color we don't have and we could use it for multiple uses including garden areas on our ranch. Thanks

That should be easy enough to add in a future stores update!
