Holiday Updates: a Recap…

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Well, there have been a good number of updates to Sorority Life over the last week (most of them based off of user suggestions!), and it is possible that you may have missed out on them over the holidays.  So, here is quick recap of all the new features:

1) New Events in Socialize (and a new Downtown location…)

There are a variety of new events available at different levels. Some of these events require items like Concert Tickets, which can be gotten via Grab Bag gifts from your sisters.  Check out all the tabs to find the new events.  Notable: a new mini-game is available– Home for the Holidays, found in the Off-Campus tab.

2) Usable Grab Bag gifts that award energy, confidence, and stamina

We added a new Swag tab, which can be seen in the top right of both the Socialize and Fight tab.  This will store items that you use to complete events, or items that you can trade it for a one-time boost in energy, confidence, or stamina.  If you are trying to complete some high-energy events, ask your sisters for the Mochaccino and you will get 40% of your max energy immediately! Do be aware that if you use more than 1 per day, the items are less effective.

3) Fight list updates

You can now click on a user’s profile after an attack, attack them again immediately, or ask your sisters to help you win a fight against that user.  Also, we have reverted to the old fight list sorting, so that higher level players will see a greater variety of house sizes on their fight list.

4) New purchasable and winnable glam

Some new outfits are available, either by completing events or for in-game cash. Make sure to explore around and find all the new glam!

5) Shared bonuses

Every so often, the game will ask if you want to post something to your wall– if your sisters click on your post, they will get a special item.  It might be a puppy, a new accessory, or useable items like a Ring Pop.  Just remember, to earn the item, you have to click on a post on another sister’s Facebook newsfeed– you don’t earn the item by posting.  Make sure to make lots of posts so that your sisters will have lots of chances to win items!

Confused about anything? Check out the Official Sorority Life Forum!

Happy Holidays from Playdom and Sorority Life!
