Changed block settings Yesterday, we made Popmundo 1.0 respect the permission system in Popmundo 2.0, since some people had problems with blocked persons interacting with them via the old version. If you experience problems with interacting or messaging people you usually have no problem with, consult the text below: 1. Make sure that the persons aren't blocked or lack permission to talk and/or interact with you. Blocked persons are found in Character > Settings > Blocked characters. Permission settings are found in your address book (VIP only) 2. Make sure your default permissions are set correctly. If a person isn't in your address book, the general permission system takes over. This is found under Characters > Settings > Permissions.

Regarding Old Songs We're phasing in a new way of judging old songs on stage. A lot of you already know about this but here's an update. The new system says that for every year a song has it will lose 1% of its potential score on stage up to a maximum loss of 20%. That would mean that a potential five star song that's 20 years old would become a 4 star song. However, in order for all of you to get used to this new way of looking at the age of songs, we haven't fully activated the system yet. Up until now the age of a song has only been allowed to remove a quarter of a star. As of today though, we're allowing the system to remove up to half a star for those who are affected most by this change. A month from now we'll make the final tweak to this change. Before that we'll take another look at the effects of this new system to make sure the final tweak is fine tuned properly. Most of you won't notice much of this change at all. But there's a couple of artists out there which should consider refreshing their repertoire a bit in the near future. NOTE: Encores aren't affected by this tweak. So feel free to continue playing your oldies but goldies at the end of your shows like always.
