Forums News & Updates The Surge: Open Beta 2.0, March CIs, & More!

Admin — He/Him Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/03/1 20:59:49 )


*Blinks eyes* WAIT.. WHAT!? It’s already March???

First off, let’s welcome everyone to OPEN BETA!
We’re so excited as staff and a community to welcome new members as we reopen registration today, March 1st, 2018.

As we transition from Alpha 2.0 into Beta 2.0 we plan on updating and introducing new features!
During Alpha we introduced our Prototype Daily Chance - with Beta we plan to introduce new items for Daily Chance, but also.. *drumroll* our Prototype RIG!

Per usual, you’ll be seeing new commons hit the shops too.

Cheers!

March Crates have arrived!

If Open Beta wasn’t sweet enough, how about these new crate sets!? This month, Frizz and Static, have gifted us with the Valorous Knight (by Neb!) and Victorious Captain (by Bean!), as well as, the rare Floral Empress set (by Qt!).


Head on over to OMG Imports now!




March Crates can be purchased from Ohm-my-gosh imports for 250 Ohms each until 3/31.
(If you don’t have your ohms yet, head on over to the donation page!)

*Just a reminder that you can wear 2 poses from a single set!*

Head on over to A Guide to Voltra Crates for more on crates. ^^

COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS

Here at Voltra we pride ourselves on being a community and an important part of that is you guys! We want everyone to be a part of the change, because YOU are what makes Voltra what it is. That is why we are hosting yet another Community Discussion on March 16th, 2018 at 8:30pm Voltra time. (US - CST) The discussion will take place on Discord in the Community Discussion voice channel - set your reminders so you don’t miss out! ;D

Pixel Updates

This week we have a new hairstyle and updates to a few items based on your feedback.

Vyc has stocked some previous items with default tone additions!


Bunny Ears - 350 Volts

Cat Ears - 350 Volts

Cat Tail - 250 Volts

Deer Eyes - 200 Volts

(Thanks I.T.s for uploading these additional re-colors!)


Vivienne now offers one of the cutest hairstyles you've probably ever seen, Dolly Hair!


Dolly Hair - 625 Volts

(Thanks ghost!!!)


Here in the city of Voltra, the shop keepers have new additions periodically throughout the week. We summarize the new additions in each Surge, but most of the time these items have already been made available. You can find out daily if any new commons have arrived by viewing the "What's Happening?" section in the footer.

(This has already been a feature since Voltra opened, but we thought we'd bring it to everyone's attention just in case! )
__________________________________________________
Community Milestones!

Hopefully with our new citizens we will reach our next community milestones in no time!

The next Milestone Items will be released @:
-250k posts
-1k Volties
-100 Volties Online

You all got this!

So in love with the new crate items!
It'll be hard not to blow all my volts to come up with a new avatar featuring the new items.

And I am so excited for all the things coming to Voltra.
Glad I'll be around to see everything as it unfolds.

There is something haunting in the light of the moon;
It has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.

Donator Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/03/2 16:06:32 )
I prefer dark layouts.. especially as they make the computer save battery/Energy ;)

Also yay these crates are wonderful! <3

Donator — Anything Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/03/2 17:26:22 )

I really hope we get the option to keep the dark layout; I love this one! But I'm also more of a night person at heart. XD Great looking items everyone, good job!

The dark layout would be nice if it was made better/had better design and color choices
