New Reporting/Banning System Is Live!

It’s been a long time in the making, but our new Reporting/Banning system is up and running! You won’t notice any visual differences, all the magic happens on our side.

It’s now easier for everyone to make sure only nice and polite folks hang out with all of us. It’s also much harder to manipulate the system to get someone banned for no reason (and easier for us to catch people trying to manipulate the system).

So if someone is being mean (to you or anyone else), and they won’t stop after you ask them, just click on their picture and choose report. If you have some details, click on Other and type in some notes! We’ll take care of the rest.

If someone is harassing you or being extra creepy, report them and also send an email to feedback@omgpop.com Since it typically takes more than 1 report to ban someone, it’s best that you give us a direct heads up on anyone being particularly problematic.

See you on POP and thanks for your help in keeping it a fun place for everyone!

Spend Wednesday Night with Charles in Hover Kart Battle

We know a lot of you out there have really wanted to get the Charles related achievements on OMGPOP. And we also know its been getting cold out there when “monitoring” Charles from outside his window.

So in an effort to restore Charles’ privacy, tomorrow (October 21st) Charles will be on OMGPOP playing Hover Kart Battle from 9pm to 11pm EST (that’s 6 to 8 for you wild west coasters).

Your best bet to get into his game? Head to his profile during the event and try to join his game from there. http://omgpop.com/setpixel

Other OMGPOP Crew members may be online too, so you can try to snag those achievements while they are around too.

See you there!

Checkered Flag Ranks in Hover Kart Battle

You may have noticed the checkered flags at the start and end of Hover Kart Battle or Hover Kart… and you’re wondering what’s up with the different colors?

The color you get depends on your game level. Every 10 game levels you get another rank up!

Here they are in order from bottom to top:

White
Yellow
Orange
Green
Blue
Purple
Red
Brown
Black (Grey-Black in this case)

Just like karate belts!

So get out there and rank up! I haven’t seen any Black checkered flags yet.

Hover Kart Battle open to everyone this weekend, ends on Monday unless you’re a STAR.

You can also get $26 worth of items if you get STAR this weekend!  Which is pretty crazy.  

When you get STAR, or add to your existing subscription, you automatically get a full YEAR of +2 Item Queue and Item Guard.    When you play Hover Kart Battle, you’ll understand how awesome that is. 

I’d jump on this, offer is over when Monday hits!

Link to OMGPOP games on your blog or site for coins!

Update: Thanks for everyone’s help, this event is done for now!


We want your help in spreading the word about OMGPOP!

If you link to the games on OMGPOP on your blog or website, we’ll hook you up with coins!

500 coins for each game link to be exact.

(Note: Facebook and Twitter links don’t count,sorry!)

Here are the 10 links that are available, you can post all 11 for the full 5500 coins, or just a couple of your favorite games. Try to mention your OMGPOP name if you can, it’ll help make sure others don’t take credit for it.

Balloono
Ballracer
Blockles
Dinglepop
Draw My Thing
Gemmers
Hit Machine
Hover Kart
Jigsawce
Letterblox
Putt Putt Penguin


The links can be in a post, on the left or right of the page, at the very bottom. We’re cool with it, as long as the links are there.

After you’ve linked us, send Panda an email with a link to where he can check em’ out and what our OMGPOP profile name is! Email: panda@omgpop.com

Might take a few days for Panda to go through all the emails, but you will get your coins if your links are up and working!

Thanks in advance for your help!

- Swiftor

P.S. Trying anything sinister like taking credit for someone else’s links will probably get you in trouble =D

Saturday Night Double XP Party! Spread the word!

To celebrate all the fans on our Facebook page, we’re holding a party Saturday night where you’ll earn twice the XP you normally do. (STARs will get 100%+ xp like everyone else instead of the normal 50%+ for being a STAR)

We know folks have different time zones, so the party is going to last all night long, so it’ll be at least 12 hours starting 8 pm EST tonight (September 5th).

You might want to let your friends know so you can level up together and order out for snacks. It’s going to be a great night!

See you there, I’m totally going to get at least 10 levels my self…aww yeah.

The way you earn coins is now more awesome!

Later today we’re making changes to how you earn coins.

Instead of earning coins for coming in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, we’re going to give you coins for hanging out on OMGPOP everyday and playing different games!

It’s all about streaking… The more days that you visit OMGPOP a row, the more you’ll earn. Just visit us every day and play some games and you’ll be earning lots of loot!

-For everyday that you’ve logged into OMGPOP in the past 30 days, you get MORE coins.
-For everyday that you’ve played 3 different games in the past 30 days, you get MORE coins.

Bottom line is, every day in a row that you login to OMGPOP, you’ll notice you get even more coins.

Focus less about coming in first place and more on having fun with new friends!

Any questions? Ask them on our feedback section: http://omgpop.com/feedback
