    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Thank you all for coming
    shanny: first time coming in forever’
    Tigress: where are the march meeting
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: All ideas/questions/suggestions from past meetings are still saved.
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Over the past month, most of my time has been focused on bringing in new and returning members. We’ve seen a steady flow, which is good, and some new users are staying.
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: However, we still have the same core issue, new players struggle to find their place in the world. Welcomers have been helping, and regular contact is being made, which is a positive step.
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: But I want to ask a simple question: if you weren’t a long-standing member with friends here, and you didn’t enjoy the regular hourly slot games, what would keep you engaged? Would it be hunts, quests, storyline events, or something else?
    Tigress: Dream can you get me one
    Tigress: please
    vVDreamVv: still looking
    vVDreamVv: i will ty

    Tuli: lets get rid of the signs that tell a turf owner they have doors
    PetMePlease: Homey and one of me were on thatt snowy mountain from Dec to March in 2020-2021
    Gemmy: would be nice to have more roleplayer groups than Pans..jesters were always fun and nice prizes
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: What if we had say a weekly or daily drop hunt that was on schedule and smaller number of items?

    shanny: what about the coupns from christmas?
    Morning Glory: we stopped the “drop” part because of the few ppl who think they need to take ALL of them
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I confirm jesters is on the pending list from past months.

    Becket: keep vouchers
    Morning Glory: customer 50 shot paint cans
    shanny: keep voucher
    Morning Glory: custom i meant
    PetMePlease: 5V would be different too
    Nutty™: err 50V I meant to sauy
    PetMePlease: thats even better lol
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: okay so keep vouchers but maybe mix with some higher value v vouchers
    Nutty™: in place of paint tickets
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: noted
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: moving on
    shanny: DO NOT TAKE SHANS GNOME OR HEADWRAPS K TY
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: #########################################################################################
    Gaia: i have an idea though!!!!
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: 2
    Gaia: two more levels to vouchers
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: ############################################################
    Tuli: turf doors
    Gaia: diamond and platinum
    vVDreamVv: omg yes keep wraps
    Tuli: get rid of white warning sign
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: @Emm idea – Wanted toggle for the website to show open shops. Suggested idea is we allow shop owners who to add to the schedule when a shop is opened. Min max 1 hour slot per day.
    Zoey: i rather keep paint tix than have vouchers
    Tuli: owners know we have doors
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Shop owners would be rewarded for doing it and they must be in the shop during the hour slot on the schedule.
    shanny: ooo yes
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Thoughts?
    Mikey: yes i agree
    shanny: i like to shop
    Nutty™: i thought i was ghosted here
    Morning Glory: a seperate shp schedule would be great
    shanny: no one hardly open
    Zoey: see, we all like diff stuff
    Gaia: i can’t see an issue with that would bring more people to the website
    Tuli: My alt advertises on her TMA
    shanny: unless u catch uum on
    Tuli: good on shops here
    PetMePlease: I try not to think, I aint that goood at it
    shanny: yes
    Blu: can’t ghost..
    shanny: u do tuls
    crazy~lil~noodle: hm
    crazy~lil~noodle: no one isnt right
    Zoey: hardly anyone wears wraps but we keep them
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The idea of the schedule is you know 100% someone is in the shop and it’s open and ideally been updated since last time on schedule
    shanny: i do ??
    vVDreamVv: i wear them daily
    Morning Glory: but ppl dont like to ask owners to open
    Gaia: Yep!
    vVDreamVv: only had my main wears

    shanny: i have over 300 from 1998 till now
    shanny: lol
    crazy~lil~noodle: updated?
    Zoey: i dont see it on you lol
    Stella: yes, shopping is one of the reasons Iam here….keeps me from spending as much RW
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Yeah the benefit for introverts you can just fly in and out
    Zoey: and one person?
    Morning Glory: they should either be open or closed
    vVDreamVv: my main avie

    Morning Glory: and not everyone clicks on ppl’s TMA
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: @suzie idea – Variations Update: This is frequently requested. Would you all be okay with switching the store from a fancy display layout to vendos?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: This would allow for more regular updates as it’s quicker to manage and lets us focus on adding more items rather than maintaining store layouts.
    Morning Glory: YES PLZ
    Morning Glory: oops
    Zoey: i like to see it all and not have to spin a vendo persoanlly
    Mikey: yes vendo style
    crazy~lil~noodle: my shops are open when I am here
    vVDreamVv: sounds good
    Gaia: more items is better, locales could just be decorated
    Puppy Love: nah, i like it
    PetMePlease: Yes
    shanny: i loveeee varis
    Gracie: If it makes it easier all round then yes good idea.
    Mikey: would be faster and easier
    Zoey: no
    Blu: yes
    Zoey: woudl be slower
    Gaia: easier and faster is better less work
    Stella: YES
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Zoey slower because you need to view all on the vendo?
    PetMePlease: U can click Vendo and see everything inside so its the same as a window and less work for U guys
    Zoey: yes lol
    shanny: lol
    Nutty™: I like i the way it is… like my closet
    Morning Glory: view display
    Zoey: i like to see them all and not have to click a vendo
    shanny: i like it now
    Zoey: and not ahve them disappear
    shanny: just update
    Puppy Love: you mean inside the store, or the window?
    Stella: furniture for Summerland- sorry if off topic
    Mikey: the way it is now its not updated enough
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: in the store yep
    Becket: Do not like having to click vendo to see
    Tigress: when are they going to do the tickets from the christmas event
    Zoey: just saying my preference
    Gracie: lol walkabout again lol
    Gemmy: it would be nice to start adding to Vari again..items that DONT say NP on them..all the market place shops are NP items
    Morning Glory: either way, def needs to be updated
    Gaia: Becket you can see all items if you choose that option
    PetMePlease: theres never any Lucy body stuff in Vari window
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: 90% of the update time is picking items and making a layout. I am wondering as it’s variations if we dont worry about the layout and give you variations then it could possibly get updated weekly.
    Gracie: have to go.. enjoy everyone
    Gaia: Lets do that Andy
    Gaia: great idea
    shanny: yes andy
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It would be “variations”
    shanny: sounds good
    Stella: good
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: so you might get a toaster and a flying dog in the same vendo
    shanny: lmfao
    Puppy Love: nooooooooooooooo
    vVDreamVv: lol
    Gaia: lol fits my personality so well rofl
    Zoey: uh well I dont like the vendo style

    Becket: I like being able to see everything
    Gemmy: with no NP on them
    Zoey: yes and it disappears after a short time
    : Puppy Love is now following you.
    ~*Troela*~: I really don’t like the set up like in the pop up shop
    Nutty™: I know ya can… but why have to

    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: This one is exciting
    Nutty™: im xcited
    Juliet: last one was too
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: @xietoo idea – Turf Decoration Competition (Returning): Launching from April, we will run a monthly turf-building competition from the new Creators Building
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: next to the Welcome Center. Each month will have a theme, participants will be given a creator turf to build in, and at the end of the month the top 3 will receive prizes.
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: First place will receive official VZones merchandise such as t-shirts, pens, or bags, and all participants will receive a participation reward.
    Tigress: yes
    Stella: oh…to be able to move things all the way to the left…lots of “side” things set too far into frame

    Gemmy: oh yes
    Juliet: wow
    vVDreamVv: nice
    Juliet: nice
    Mikey: walking advertisment
    Suzie: nice
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Note that builds have to be done in creators turfs and are deleted at the end of the month
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: BUT
    Nutty™: ohh nooo
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: They can be saved as you will learn in the next part
    Zoey: okay good
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: which is also very exciting i think
    Nutty™: competition bulds?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Creator Turf Builds – Also operating from the Creators Building, members can claim a short-term single-room turf for up to 30 days to create builds.
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: These builds can be exported and listed on the VZones website where other members can purchase them and import them into their own turf.
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Revenue will be split 60% to VZones and 40% to the builder, paid in Gold. This idea came from @punkin and @Shoot who wanted additional turf build options, and it allows members to earn Gold from their creations.
    Nutty™: oh I see… ok
    Stella: ok
    crazy~lil~noodle: ok
    vVDreamVv: nice
    Nutty™: I thought turf deco but you mean locale builds?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Can also be set to free if you wanted to give the build away.
    Zoey: vn
    Zoey: would this be a background for a room in a turf?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s two things. 1 is turf building competition monthly and 2nd is building turfs/areas that you can sell/give away to others.
    PetMePlease: we’ll have locales on For Sale stands on Temple St.
    Nutty™: wheres the buidl items come from then?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: In the build you mean?
    Nutty™: yes
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The builder purchases them and license/none AW it’s included in the sold build.
    Zoey: like adding a room to a turf that someone deco’d?
    Nutty™: hmm ok diff than I thought
    Zoey: i dont really understand just asking
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: For example Zoey you could build a 2 room castle turf
    Zoey: so woould be a stand alone turf?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: That can then be listed on the website and sold/given away for others to get the same
    Nutty™: I thought like I deco a room with my stuff and submit the screenshot
    Zoey: okay so wow we could pick the locale?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Zoey are you talking 1) turf build competition or 2) sell turf builds to others?
    Zoey: the sell ones 2
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: 2) So yeah you can build anything you want
    Tuli: ill pass on this one
    Zoey: but the purchaser could put anywhere?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: yes
    Zoey: like in a current turf site?
    vVDreamVv: do we get to keep our orginal one?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Yes

    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: the price is set by the builder
    Zoey: liek ballpark
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Anything you want
    Zoey: 5 dollars or 500 dollars
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: 0 to 500
    Nutty™: yes
    Nutty™:
    Zoey: got it lol
    Morning Glory: prolly depends on the cost it would take to build and your time
    Stella: could we take requests?
    Zoey: fascinating idea
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Stella you could post/ask someone yes
    Nutty™: so we buy things to build with? Ts or Gs?
    Zoey: and could deco any way we want?
    Stella: excellent

    Nutty™: *blinks*\
    Juliet: awww
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I’m also looking for feedback on the Tamagotchi-style items I mentioned last meeting. We’ve done some early research and development on this idea, where certain items can come to life and be linked to the website.
    shanny: omg i had 1 rw
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: For example, you could own a gremlin like this one that needs ongoing interaction to stay active or evolve.
    Stella: interesting
    shanny: lol
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: A gremlin might need to be walked every few days and taken to the park once a week. If you don’t keep up with this, it could become sad or change state automatically.
    Nutty™: ehh… *googles tamagati something*
    Madame Titzenass: we need to bring folks to life iw first
    Tuli: andy?
    shanny: rofl hahahaha
    Gemmy: oh that would be fun
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Taking your gremlin to specific areas or completing certain actions would increase its score, unlock accessories, and open up new areas or features.
    Stella: lol
    Gaia: its an interesting concept
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Would this be something you’d enjoy, and how would you want it to work?
    Blu: might be interesting
    Morning Glory: that would be fun fun
    Gemmy: yes
    Morning Glory: yes
    Stella: indeed….inliven folks!!
    vVDreamVv: oo that sounds neat
    Zoey: sounds fun, can do with my cute poodle?
    Zoey:
    Nutty™: ima kitty
    Kimmie D: Tamagotchis and Furbys are scary prospects
    Gemmy: give us options of items and let us paint them
    Morning Glory: but how much would one of these cost?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It would be done with new art so you can only get the image by doing things with the item
    Morning Glory: plz dont say Gold
    Gaia: lol
    Tuli: ANDY?
    Zoey: well gold makes sense
    vVDreamVv: some of us cant afford to buy gold
    Morning Glory: right
    Zoey: right of course
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: You couldn’t paint it, you would need to do things to get a different color option.
    Morning Glory: and everyone has tokens
    Zoey: ? lol not everyone has tokens
    Morning Glory: that would be cool Andy
    Morning Glory: sure they do
    Zoey: or many of them
    Morning Glory: they earn them everyday
    vVDreamVv: hence why i suggested to bring back the 1G per game we host as our hosting rewward
    Zoey: 20?
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: They would be free for the most part
    Morning Glory: and hour
    Nutty™: hosts use to get Gs
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Think of it as a quest but on an item
    Juliet: wow, that’s nice
    PetMePlease: he’s ignoring G for Hosting
    Nutty™: heh
    vVDreamVv: i’ll do it if the thingy is not uglyyyyy
    vVDreamVv: i know he is
    vVDreamVv: lol
    crazy~lil~noodle: lol
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I am ignoring anything not on topic yes, we can do q&a on anything after.

    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: like the gremlin for example you wouldnt just get it the item like that
    Morning Glory: options are always good
    vVDreamVv: i want a wolf
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: You would need to do a number of things like hatch from egg, take it to the beach etc
    Nutty™: they are/were fer sale
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: So mostly positive on that but not jumping for joy?

    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: it’s a fish drop hunt or something else?
    Mikey: you hunt fish that are dropped
    crazy~lil~noodle: and it was a drop hunt , not dropping the fish head, if you find the lets say GOLD fish you can trade for a fish head
    Honor: shoe head

    Mikey: your fine sis
    Tabitha: lolol but i can sit in front of gems and still see her

    Rileigh: yes, such as Darksiders, etc
    Madame Titzenass: like xmas
    Zoey: that seems to exclude people, just in my opinion
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: What would the groups have/need apart from a registered tag/name list?
    Rileigh: there used to always be groups
    Morning Glory: right?
    Zoey: which excluded others yes
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Yeah i was in the Black Nights back in the days

    Morning Glory: I hung around with whomever I wanted
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: it would be cool to mix team games with groups but I dont think a lot of people will be willing to join group but they would gaming teams
    Gaia: thats a great concept Andy
    Tabitha: Jester right here comin thru
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I see no harm in having groups returned and made official but in it’s current form it would basically just be an official list of names with a tag
    PetMePlease: but U need dependable ppl for these game groups
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Sound about right?
    Morning Glory: I’d like the Jesters back
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Well you don’t Pet

    Rileigh: we’d like to see it be more active tho with games, etc
    Kamryn: as long as theres a rule where you can only join 1 team
    Tabitha: btw oldest darkie is J ask him about voting
    crazy~lil~noodle: riff raff
    Mikey: was a jester always had a blast
    Tabitha: pita tinny
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The old rule in groups was you had to have the tag in your name
    PetMePlease: where is Riff Raff?

    Riff Raff: relvis from disgraceland
    vVDreamVv: you and a few friends make a group an name it
    Zoey: so anyone could do that at anytime now
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: but official groups could be blocked from the registry so they need to be managed via the group in some kind of special way
    vVDreamVv: then invite others
    Zoey: see not lol
    vVDreamVv: or if someone comes to you…. vote them in
    PetMePlease: My brand new cat avie needs 66K 6to change name and i changed it once Andy wwas nice enough to do the last change for her

    Gaia: hmmm
    Madame Titzenass: welcome to the shaved fuzzy group
    Rileigh: were*
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: and having to get the group to agree the name change

    PetMePlease: My 2 shaved pussies
    Gaia: might be problematic
    Zoey: what if no one likes me, right no groups?

    Rileigh: ty Andy
    PetMePlease: I can see me be blocked from every group LOL
    Zoey: what if i really want to and they dont like me?

    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: No major benefit to join a group in the current form, in the older days it had benefits
    Tiny Tabby: i agree
    Zoey: why do you ahve to officially recognize how many friends you have?
    Morning Glory: I say 86 the groups, this isnt Jr High
    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: but it also had 10x members so more groups was going to happen
    Zoey: right

    Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I will add it to the list
    Morning Glory: but I do miss the Jesters
    Tiny Tabby: the reason darkies are around is because J is

    @Toaster Strudel – weather page
    @majenta – player rules regarding alts
    @madamtiz – Following the success of the ornament collection at christmas it may be a good idea to carry on this idea as loads came to games to try and get the set just simple things like eggs fruit etc and at end of the month trade in for something just a thought
    @emm – blitz too many in row with same winners need list of games
    @Cosmic***************************************************** TURF PHOTO GALLERY
    @Unknown – Mandatory Check-In: Droppers should announce their presence at the start of the hour so players have confirmation that the game is actually active.

    I am too lazy to read everything after question 7 however my input and questions are….

    1. Gold Vouchers would prob be the best bet.

    2. Shop. It would be cool if the people who own their shops could take pictures and update the shop themselves. Specially cause whomever took pictures of my shop the first time didnt do so well ( nudges )

    My questions:

    1. Can we make it so we can purchase as much or as little gold as we want from the website. Like a sliding scale for gold purchases

    2. Magic Shop Visits: I know Polly schedule can be unpredictable but is there a way we can put some of the magic shop visits on the schedule so I can plan ahead.

    3. I will pay someone to bring back the ren faire. I have all the premade locales in mind from SK but I know I wont be able to pull it off on my own. It has been my dream since I started back in Vzones.

    4. I am willing to volunteer on Wednesday afternoons and Weekends for Item drops and to be a Jester ( wink )

      Morning,

      2) Yeah, this will be setup this week.

      Answers

      1) Will do
      2) I will look into this and speak to @polly as a few others also asked this.
      3) Can you give me more details on this?
      4) Jesters would be part of the role play (RP) system we have so this needs to be discussed with @Polly jesters is on the list as many people asked.

    Summary for @TWIZZLER

    🔑 Main Issue

    New players struggle to find their place and stay engaged.

    Core question: What keeps people interested beyond friends + slot games?

    🎯 Popular Engagement Ideas

    Hunts (most requested)

    Fox, dragon, fish-style hunts

    Preference for interactive hunts, not just hourly slots

    Quests

    Mixed opinions (fun but too long/frustrating if dragged out)

    Better if self-paced

    Deco contests

    Strong interest

    Roleplay groups (e.g. Jesters)

    Popular request to bring back

    📦 Drop Hunts Feedback

    Idea: smaller, scheduled drop hunts (e.g. ~20 items)

    Concerns:

    People grabbing everything

    Timezone fairness

    Alt account abuse

    Suggested fixes:

    Limit per account

    Multiple time slots

    🎟️ Raffles & Rewards

    General agreement: keep vouchers

    Suggestions:

    Add higher-value vouchers (e.g. 50V)

    Include gold vouchers

    More variety in prizes

    🛍️ Shops & Website

    Proposed shop schedule system

    Owners list when shops are open (1-hour slots)

    Helps players know when shops are active

    Mostly positive feedback

    🧥 Store Format (Variations)

    Proposal: switch to vendo-style store

    Faster updates, more items

    Feedback split:

    ✅ Pro: more frequent updates

    ❌ Con: dislike extra clicking / prefer visual browsing

    🏗️ New Features

    1. Turf Tools

    Cheap tokens to:

    Move doors

    Remove signs

    Adjust layouts

    ✔ Strong support

    2. Monthly Turf Building Competition

    Starts April

    Theme-based, prizes (including real-world merch)

    ✔ Very positive response

    3. Player-Created Turf Sales

    Build turfs → sell/share them

    Revenue split: 60% VZones / 40% creator (Gold)

    ✔ Interesting but some confusion

    🐾 Tamagotchi-Style Items

    Interactive items (e.g. pets that evolve with care)

    Actions unlock features/colors

    Mostly positive but cautious interest

    👥 Groups Discussion

    Mixed opinions:

    Some want classic groups (Jesters, Darksiders, etc.)

    Others feel it’s cliquey/exclusive

    Possible direction:

    Keep groups simple (tags only)

    Focus more on team-based games instead

    🧠 Other Notes

    Requests for:

    Bring back old hunts (fish, fox, fuzzie)

    Remove unnecessary door warning signs

    Updates on Christmas rewards

    Referral system added (earn Gold)

    Push for social media promotion

    ✅ Overall Takeaway

    Community strongly favors:

    Hunts + interactive events

    Creative activities (deco, building)

    Key challenge remains:

    Making the game engaging for new players, not just long-time members
