New Feature – Avenues Map View

Hey YoVillians,

As part of “Play Appreciation Week” we’re bringing you a brand new feature as promised. Introducing the Avenues Map View Feature on YoVille. A quick and easy way to navigate through your Yo Town with a click of a button. Many of you have expanded your Yo Towns and added tons of Avenues to your Homes. We have had requests from Players to provide you with an easy way to find your way around your Towns and this feature is going to do just that. Let’s take a look at how the new feature works:

Click on the “Home” HUD Icon to begin: On clicking the HUD icon the following pop-up will be displayed. NOTE: The pop-up now has a new Tab called “Yo-Town”. In addition to viewing your Homes you can now view your Avenues as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On navigating the “Yo-Town” tab you will receive the following message (in case you do not have any Avenues yet)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once you have added / connected Avenues to your Yo-Town you will be able to see the Map View of your Town in the tab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Tab will display all the different connections in your Yo-Town as seen below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to this, hovering over the preview image of a particular Home/ Avenue will display the name of that particular Home/ Avenue. Clicking on the preview image will immediately take you to that particular part  of your Yo-Town!

 

 

 

We hope you will all enjoy this cool new feature that will make navigating through your Yo-Town so much easier. Make sure to check it out, use it and have fun with it! Now let’s get back to decorating :)

Have a great Yo-Day and thanks for reading the Blog.

Regards,

Emerald Ninja

We listen to your needs and understand your requests.Therefore as part of our player love week, we’re going to be extending the rainforest theme for an extra week! This will include two extra releases this week and will give you enough time to get all the items you want and decorate your house before the next theme arrives! We hope you all appreciate the extra time and effort we put into making this possible and enjoy it:)

Special releases : We’re gearing up for the 4th of July here on Yoville. We asked you for your suggestions and we got some terrific feedback! So in addition to the fantastic new 4th of July collectibles, you can look forward to new furniture, clothing, hair and maybe even some of those fireworks that you asked for!

 Hey Guys,

Giving yourself a makeover just got a whole lot simpler! We know that this is something that you all have been asking for and we care about what YOU want. And we’re now ready to give you an all new Clothing Inventory! That’s right, we’re talking new categories and sections – everything to make things more convenient for You!

Let’s find out how this new inventory is going to work:
Previously, all your accessories were grouped in a single Sub-category under the “Edit Clothes” option. With the new Feature, you will now be able to view all your favourite Glasses, Rings, Earrings, Bracelets, Handhelds, Gloves and Necklaces in a separate, new “Accessories” tab!

This tab will appear under the “Customize your look” option alongside “Face” and Clothes”.

The new Sub-categories that we have now introduced under the “Accessories” tab are:

• Belts
• Necklaces
• Glasses
• Rings
• Bracelets
• Earrings
• Handhelds (this includes all handhelds, purses and bags)
• Gloves

As you can see, we will now be giving you much more specific categories – which are going to make changing your Yoville look that much easier and all the more fun!

And guess what? We’re not done yet! That’s right, there’s more to look forward to!

To make your search even simpler we are also going to roll out a new ‘Search Box’ as part of the clothing inventory soon! This Search Box will allow you to key in your favorite clothing items or accessories and find them immediately without the hassle of going through all the items in your inventory.

We’re working on bringing you this additional feature soon and will keep you informed about when you can expect it.

Well that’s about it folks!

New Signature Design Contest!!

 

Hey Yovillians,

Do you want to get the chance to win some great prizes—like YoCash??
Based on the feedback we received from players on the forums, we’ve decided to host another fun and exciting Signature design competition for all of you! We’ve recently welcomed three great New Ninja’s to the Yoville Ninja Team, so this contest will be just for them!

Here’s how:

The forum ninjas need the help of our creative players to create some signatures that they will proudly display as their official forum signature after the contest concludes and the community votes on the winners!

Starting Wednesday, June 2nd at 6am PST we will kick off the competition and it will conclude on Sunday, June 5th at 11:59pm PST,followed by a poll for players to vote on their top choices for 1st,2nd and 3rd place winners!

Here’s what the winners will receive:

1st place = 100 YoCash!

2nd Place = 50 YoCash!

3rd Place = 25 YoCash!

Post Your Signature Design Entries here => https://zyn.ga/6Eu

If you’d like to discuss the contest, please use this thread=> https://zyn.ga/6Ev

Rules:

· Make the signature picture 500×100 pixels, so it’s decently sized but not too small or too large
· Include the Yoville Logo Text and a photo of the Ninja you are designing for with the name of the Ninja somewhere in the design
· It does not have to be the actual avatar but can be any created “inspired” version of the ninja of your choice, dressed how you’d like.
· JPEG or PNG format only (animated signatures are fine too)

Choose one ninja to design a signature for and GO FOR IT!

The Ninja’s are as follows:

Emerald Ninja
Sable Ninja
Sage Ninja

Once submitted, the entry becomes the sole property of Zynga.

No purchase necessary but it is important to follow the forum rules as poor sportsmanship may result in disqualification.

Please do not spam your entry or double post as this will lead to disqualification.

One post PER person and one entry submission ONLY.

Only Submit ONE design for the ninja of your choice.

Do not modify your design once it has been submitted as this could be grounds for disqualification.

Remember—have fun and let your creativity be your guide! There may be a limit to the size of the entry, but there’s no limit to the amount of fun you’ll have competing with other designers to make the BEST signature and to win some YoCash!

Are you ready to accept that challenge?

Ready, set, DESIGN!!

New Factory Job Social Feature!!

 

Hey Everyone,

We’re introducing a new social feature in Factory Jobs on YoVille! Let’s take a look at what the feature entails and the great benefits it has.

Until now, you were able to perform jobs independently. From here on,we’re giving you the chance to earn Extra Yocoins for performing the same job as long as you can get your friends to help you out!

Here’s how you can about this:

Each player can now invite (Hire) three of his (YoVille) friends to become crew members in the factory

The first three hires can be any of your Yoville friends. However, the fourth hire must be a player who has not logged into the game for the past week ( Star Hire). If you do not have any such friends, we will give you the option to hire any Facebook friend instead.

This invitation will be either through W2W feeds or requests

All crew members will contribute to the earning of the player

Each active crew member contributes 50 % of what the players earns.

After working once, all crew members will go into sleep mode

Crew members can be woken up by feeding them Hot Dogs

Hot Dogs can be procured by publishing a feed

• The person who clicks on the feed also get a Hot Dog in return

• If the person clicking the feed does not have crew members in YoVille, then they are taken to the Factory

• Hot Dogs do not get accumulated : you cannot collect more than one hot dog at a time

New 10K Trade Button!!

 

Hey Yovillians,

Over the last few weeks, we’ve had a lot of requests for a higher trading button denomination, coming in from you guys. We know this would make trading simpler for you all and as always, we want the best for our community. Therefore, for the first time ever, we’re giving you the NEW 10K Trade Button!!

How does this button work?

Until now, the highest denomination we offered you was the 1000 trade button. You would have had to click on the 1000 button ten times to get to the 10K value. But from here on, its going to be an easy, one click process!

trading_change

Also, now you can only click on Agree to trade if there is an offer made by the other party. If there is no offer, it will not be possible to click on agree. This is to avoid scams and making trading fair to you all.

We hope you enjoy this new addition and much as we enjoy giving you what you ask for!

Thanks for reading!

As always, Have a great Yo-day,

On clicking ‘View My Relationships’, you will be able to see all the relationships that you have formed with your Buddies.

You can send a request to another player and should you change your mind at any point, you can cancel the request before the other party accepts or declines.

The other person can also choose to accept or decline your relationship request.
