Happy Sunday, Volties! Remember what we promised when we re-launched? That’s right, it’s event time! Our Alpha 2.0 Mini Event is here and focuses on survival in the middle of the Blackout. Full of contests, event items, and fun to boot! Hop on over to the event forum and check out our FAQ HERE!

Thank you Writers for putting this together and nebulae for the amazing event items!

Outernet Presents!

We know that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.
For the occasion, we have granted all our users Soulmate Strings!
Check your inventory for the item. (Thank you, Bean!)


Additional Soulmate Strings will be available in OMG Imports until February 17, 2018, so act quickly!




In addition, Velvet’s avatar contest this time around is Valentines themed!
Put your best, lovey avatar together and keep any eye out for Velvet’s V-day runway starting tomorrow!

Community Discussion

We are also posing a question to our community: What days and times work best for users to tune in on Discord? We would like to be more transparent about our community more often and need to know the best time to hold discussions for everyone to join in.

Please take this anonymous survey to help us find the best times to gather for our discussions!

Reminders!

Leaving Shop Soon:
Key to the City is leaving OMG Imports TONIGHT, 2/11/2018 at 11:59 PM Voltra Time.
If you are still wanting extras, the last few hours are upon us. stampede :vanora_shock:

As you all know, we are now voltra.us
Our site links are changing. Any links from Voltra 1.0 (voltraonline.com) need to be updated
to the Voltra 2.0 domain, voltra.us, if you want them to still work.
(We as staff might have a few old links laying around as well. :vanora_sweat:)

IMPORTANT - FORUM RULES UPDATE

We have image size limits to the forums. All images will not exceed 1080px by 906px. Anything larger than these pixel dimensions will automatically be scaled down, while maintaining the aspect ratio.

Similarly, we are updating our rules regarding images in posts. Any image larger than 300px in height for signatures and 200px in height for post decorations are not allowed. You may post an image larger than limits in any post as long as it is not consecutive. Please feel free to use the [spoiler] bb code for large images to reduce page scrolling. Please be aware of these changes to the rules as we will be enforcing them immediately.

You may note the addition as # 14 to the list of forum rules here.

Don't forget to thank our amazing team of pixel artists and item technicians!

New facial features, Almond Eyes and Wide Set Eyes, are available in Vyc’s Modz.
All facial features from Voltra 1.0 are now all uploaded, too!

New items, Cowboy Boots and the Living Scarf (designed by Chich during the Reaping Ritual)
are available in Dashing Kicks and High-Rise Accessories, respectively.









Crate Item Recolor Roll-outs

(Thanks me a.k.a Fozzy!)

If you are owners of the Pre-Launch Crate items,
you now have two additional color options added to your Frizz, Static, and Samurai Shock items!

As a small reminder, if you ever find that items aren't equipping properly, please report it to our Pixel Perfect (Item Bug Reports) thread. ^^
