Pet Society Updates – July 29th July 29, 2010

There were lots of updates in Pet Society today. The newsletter invites us to build a party invitation for Pet Society’s 2nd birthday party.  Hideeni’s back from his short vacation with seashells to share.  Also, there’s are new colors and looks available for our pets at the stylist!  You can finally have a black pet if you want to!!

The values on the lottery wheel have been changed.  I think this new wheel shows the real probability of getting a high number of coins.  The old wheel was rigged, and though it had many high values on it, the probability of getting the high values could not be predicted from the wheel (the probability of winning was very low).

The settings expands out horizontally instead of vertically, so it won’t get in the way of the right and left arrows anymore.

Below the settings button is a new button to “build your own party invitation now!”

It only takes six clicks to make an invitation, but I’m getting really sick of sending requests to friends all the time. At least this will be easier for me than getting the hippo.

The new weekly treasure hunt item in the “Town Forest” is the Mayor’s Hat. Happy hunting!

What do you think of the new updates?

Abrupt End to Friend Street’s Easter Egg Hunt in Pet Society April 1, 2010

The Easter egg hunt in the friend street was ended earlier than planned. According to a Playfish Admin, the egg hunt was ended early because some players were hacking the eggs to get coins. I find it ridiculous that Playfish didn’t change the price of the eggs to 0 coins, and instead chose to punish all of its players. This change only affects the eggs that used to be found in the trees on Friend Street, and it does not affect eggs collected from Hideeni.

Unfortunately, Hideeni’s Easter eggs are also having issues. Right now, if you click on the button to share the news that you found Hideeni, the window will disappear and no one will be able to collect any eggs.

Updated to add: The Hideeni problem has been fixed and we can collect eggs found by our friends again.

Pet Society Players Donate to Help Haiti January 22, 2010

The Mayor sent out a letter today that if $100,000 in donations are received through the Pet Society/Mercy Corps donation site to help the people of Haiti, Pet Society will give everyone a special thank you gift.

My husband and I made a donation to the Red Cross after the devastating earthquake took place.  Hope everyone helps in any way they can through any organization that can provide help!

Article on Playfish Games at the Games.com Blog October 7, 2009

There’s a neat article called “Pet Society Tips, Restaurant City Secrets and What’s Next for Playfish Games” by Robin Yang over at The Blog at Games.com. There’s info on a number of Playfish games, including Pet Society and Restaurant City.

There’s a link in the article to Pet Society World. What a thrill! 😀 There’s also a link to the wonderful Pet Society Anonymous!
