Hey musers!
At long last I have some news to share with you. As you know we recently released a couple of new storage tanks (flasks and LE Rockets) and had a couple drinking contests. Its great to get back to making and doing fun things for you guys! :mused: in its time has been targeted by various forms of cheating and exploitation and each time we have to put development of other products on hold while we take the steps necessary to protect you all. Sometimes it’s as simple as a Ban or as complicated as the verification system. Starting around the beginning of 2016 :mused: started to get hit hard from various directions some more obvious than others. From duplicated items and inworld scams to attempts to crash our web servers we have had to focus on mitigating the effects these had on you and then finding ways to prevent them from happening in the future.
One of these projects we have been working these long hours on is a way to help create a better, more stable, more transparent, less exploitable way of managing your bonuses and the related items. The solution we have come up with makes it easier to track what you own, give bonus items to other players, and see what bonuses you have running, all while not having to worry about updating or losing the items in world, and helps to reduce inventory clutter, and gives us room to add a lot of fun new options to the systems.
We will be moving all our bonuses items to an easy to use Web HUD. This is directly linked to your account with :mused: so all the bonus items you have will be tracked preventing their loss. You can easily give any bonus item to any other :mused: user, even if they are not online, and you can see what bonuses you have running even if they didn’t come from a bonus item but are from an interaction, semen dispensing, or other source.
You could of course access all this information in the past by logging into the website to view your stats, or by clicking “stats” on your product. But we hope this will help make keeping an eye on this information simpler and easier, particularly for those using both milkmade and stud pump.
The best part is that its free! You can get a HUD in three four ways:
- The first is buying a bonus item from the new HUD only vendors we have set up to the left just outside the main store (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/mused/95/172/26).
- The second is if someone with a HUD sends you a consumable item to use.
- The third is if staff has to redeliver a consumable it will come as the HUD only version.
- The fourth is to go the vendors linked above and click the HUD Icon to have one sent to you.
If you have the current version in world bonus items still you can use them as normal. But as we transition to HUD only there will be a point where they will be added to the HUD rather than used when clicked. (This will probably be some time in February we will let you know more specific dates and details as we go.)
Edit March 21 2018: to add your in world item to your HUD rez the item as you would to use it and then click as you would to use it. It will go into your Web HUD inventory rather than being used.
To get more information about how the HUD functions Please check out the mused life manual.
Transition to HUD estimated time line:
- Early January HUD available
- Early February in world item vendors removed
- Mid February any remaining in world items send to HUD when clicked
- Late March/early April All in world items deactivated.
