November 9, 2007

Whew! What a busy week! I need a power-down nap!

Thanks to each and every one of you for all that you've done to contribute to this World. The fun is only beginning...

Weekend homework : If there is a character missing, go ahead and enter it here. It's not guaranteed but we'd love to hear what you think should be added!

Thanks and may the force be with you all weekend long!

Leveling is fixed!!


I told you not to worry :)
Your points may not have been changing for the last week but we were saving everything behind the scenes, so when we got it worked out, you got to the level you deserve! And if you haven't seen the change yet, go favorite something and your level will get to where it is supposed to be.

Congrats on getting to where you deserve to be!

Welcome back World of Star Wars users!

I hope you are having a great time exploring the new stuff we've been rolling out. World Trotter is a great way to find some great content and the photos page makes it much easier to find exactly what you're looking for. However... I've been saving the best news for last...

You can now search for user profiles using the search field!


Now when you want to find someone you can simply enter their name in the search field up above and their profile will come up in the search results. Want to find users whose names mesh with yours? Wondering how many Darths there really are on the site? Enter the name up above and start finding new people or old friends now. You can even sort by Users if you want to narrow it down even further.

Hope you have fun finding each other and may the force be with you!

Good day World of Star Wars friends!

So we have some good news. As you can see the guest book and commenting feature is not only back up and running, but all the missing comments have now been reinstated. It was a galactic glitch that has been worked out, and shouldn't cause any more problems. Thanks again for bringing it to our attention and being patient during the fix. We're listening!

Hope everyone is having a great time dressing up their Y! Avatars . It's great fun to see all the users decked out in their cool Star Wars gear!

We have some cool new enhancements just around the bend! Check back really soon for more announcements on what we're rolling out.

Thanks, and may the force be with you!

Hey Everyone,

Now you can show your Star Wars love all over Yahoo!

We are THRILLED to announce that Yahoo! Avatars now feature Star Wars themed outfits, backgrounds, and "accessories" (well, I'd hardly call Yoda an accessory, but he can hang out next to you all the same!)

Go to our Avatar page here and look under "branded" and hit the Star Wars sublink. Have fun, be creative, and enjoy!

May the force be with you (and your avatar!)

Hey World of Star Wars users,

Things are feeling pretty good around here!

We spent a lot of last week working out some kinks. The biggest fix, of course, came from you guys! From day one you all made it VERY clear that alignment should not be fixed, and that you wanted to choose your path. We heard you loud and clear, and now only you can choose whether you want to join the dark side. Just click on "edit" next to your current alignment, and choose your path!

Even though we are still in Beta, we've had thousands and thousands of users here working to make this site everything we hoped it could be. And the good news is this really is just the beginning! Check back to my blog daily so I can tell you all the great stuff is coming, and get ready for some really cool stuff that could only come from Yahoo! teaming up with Lucasfilm!

In the meantime, here are some things to get you looking around.

CONNECT:

If you have a fan site, contact our good friend Rotten Jedi to help expand the community.

DISCOVER:

Why not stop by and meet the Mandalorians

CONTRIBUTE:

How did Anakin get that scar? Fill in the blanks with The Clone Wars

Have fun everyone, and may the force be with you!

  1. Y2-D2...where is Aura Sing? She is an excellent character from Episode 1 who become quite popular in the expanded universe. Michonne Bouriague is a great actress. Bring us the Jedi Hunter!

  2. It seems there is a problem with the Darth Vader page. The option to become a friend with him doesn't seems to work properly.

  5. Hey Y2 Im sure yo have noticed that there is a war brewing between factions. Some of the memebers have been looking for crative ways to do this. IS there some way to facilitate this with your team. Im sure you might have soemthing in the works but it might be great to even have an easter hunt for factions or soemthing like that. Feel free to check out the thread Sith vs Jedi competion in the cantian where we are bantering ideas and shoot down ones that would not work or ones that would.
