Pets & Global Chat!!
This is one of the largest updates of the year! We’re bringing you Pets, Global Chat, new Cat Cafe, tons of new items, much-requested updates to the Dedicated Condos browser, and plenty more! So let’s dive in!
Global Chat
Global Chat is back! Global chat offers the option to chat with other users outside the bounds of an individual server! So, you can access global chat and interact with users while you’re in different parts of the game, like talking to players in the Plaza while you’re in the Condos or Game Worlds!
Global Chat also brings back Game World notifications when a player starts a public game world server!
Cat Café: Café Miaou
A brand new store is now open - Café Miaou!
This elegant and cute cat cafe serves delicious pastries and drinks, all while keeping our resident cats safe and warm. Sit down, relax, have a cup and snuggle and pet our adorable cats.
Dog Park
For dog enthusiasts, we’ve also opened a dog park! Head over to the West Stores in the Plaza, by the Backer Statue Garden to visit and adopt tons of adorable canine friends!
Condo Pets!
With both the Cat Cafe and the Dog Park, you can now adopt your very own Condo pet!
We currently have 28 lovable and adoptable cats and dogs!
Pets have traits such as love and energy, and commands such as sit, follow, eating/drinking, and sleeping.
You can get pet beds, pet food/drink bowls, and cat towers for your wondrously cute animal friends.
New Condo Browser Filters
In our last update, we added Dedicated Condos, but it was a bit hard to navigate all the new servers.
You can now easily sort the condo browser and filter out by Dedicated and Player-Hosted Condos.
Enhanced Dedicated Windows Launcher
For those of you that use the Windows Launcher for Dedicated Condos, we’ve added some enhancements to the launcher (should be out in a day or so).
You can now have per-Condo server profiles, which helps with running multiple versions of your Condos.
We’ve also added other features to the launcher such as: Chat Log (which updates in real time), Bans Editor, Custom Condo Map name setting, and Client Port setting.
