Stalkers and skinners First of all, the following system (VIP only feature) is in place in Popmundo 2.0 since about two days ago. Most of you have probably discovered this already, but if not, it's accessible from your relationship details page with a person. Just make sure to be in the same locale as the person you wish to follow. Second, we've begun the rather mighty work of designing a proper default skin (it probably won't change that much from what we have today, though), and - possibly - a second one to choose from. Those of you who've made custom modifications to the current V2 skin should therefore take a happy pill and expect things (CSS, file locations etc) to change during the coming weeks. Have a great weekend, y'all!

Ghost Hunter Charts We normally don't normally post news regarding minor implementations such as a new chart, but we figured we'd make an exception today. On the Ghost Hunters chart you can see who's busted ghosts the most, who's fighting the good fight, and who's not. Who captured the soul of Melvin? Go check out the chart for yourself, it's only a clickfest away.

The Dangers of Proton Packs Firing your proton pack on another person who's also carrying a proton pack is NOT recommended. An accidental crossing of particle streams would be catastrophic! Anyone attacked in this manner will immediately stop using their own proton pack for a while in an effort to avoid disaster.

What's new under the sun? You might get the feeling that we've only been focusing on designing proton packs and handing out silver coins lately. We have, however, also been busy redesigning the more important parts of the user interface, mainly the artist andcharacter menus and their respective first pages. Some stuff has been moved around , some stuff has been scrapped, and some things has been added. We're hopeful that you'll find it more logical to use. Be aware that we do not consider this work fully done yet. Expect more changes. We've noticed that many of you aren't fully aware of the customization options that are available, both for individual characters and for your user account. Have a look below for some more intel on that. It might just make your Popmundo experience a bit more pleasant. PS. Refresh your browser cache, otherwise stuff might look icky! Since the start of the new version, some very wished for settings and options have been implemented, for example regarding confirmations, relationships and default way to travel within a city. Make sure you have yours set the way you want them, because these babies can save you a lot of time and grief. User settings In your shortcut bar up top, you find "Account Details". These are valid for your entire account, and in other words across all your characters, if you have several. Settings you can do here include (for example) which notifications you'd like to see, if you want to see percentages written out on bars, and how often you would like to have confirmations pop up. Character settings & permissions (Found in the Extras menu of your character) These settings mainly allows you to control how others interact with you. Can anyone give you items, sex you up, send you messages, and use items on you? Or would you like either of those to be unique for friends only, or maybe locked for all? You'll also find characters you've blocked here. If you are VIP, you can make special exceptions to each of these settings, per character in your adress book. Character personality & behaviour (Found in the Career & Activity menu of your character) These settings include your attitude and default ways to travel within a city (meaning you don't have to choose each time you move), along with the settings surrounding how you behave on tour.

Who You Gonna Call? Legend has it, that on the day when the boundary between life and death is blurred, the silver coins will pay for passage over the river Styx. Anyone, anywhere, can pay the ferryman. Trapped within the deepest circles of Hades the evil one waits to be released into the world again. Will you trap it down in the abyss, or will you help it return to the land of the living? Bring your boomsticks, chainsaws, amulets, and anything else you can use to fight the undead... or come along to foil the efforts of Kobe. The fate of the world lies in your hands.

A note on importing relationships from V1 If you use the option "import all relationships" when you import relationships from Popmundo V1 to V2, any relationships that exists in both versions will beoverwritten with the values from V1. If you have important relationships that are higher in version 2 than version 1, you should use the "only import missing relationships" option instead.
