New Scoring System In Draw My Thing!

DMT has been updated with a brand new scoring system.

- No more ties. You get points based on how fast you guess the drawing.
- Everyone has a chance to guess. The round is over when everyone has guessed correctly or time has run out.
- The person drawing gets points for every person who guesses the drawing correctly.

Try it out and let us know what you think in the feedback section (red tab on the top left).

Pets Beta Test Winner

We’re testing OMGPOP Pets with STARs right now, and to encourage folks to take care of their pet as best as possible, last we launched a contest to see who could have the most valuable Pet within a week!

Our winner was JoMan112 and his pet Plummy, whose pet reached a value of 6450, just edging out our two runners up Troy Fonsworth and AbbeyTheChav.

JoMan112 gets some private time on OMGPOP with SetPixel.. giving him an opportunity to snag some rare achievements. JoMan112, give us a shout to arrange a time!

There were admittedly some folks who didn’t have a fair shot at this contest, since their pets got reset due to some kinks (which we’ve fixed). So a big thanks to their patience, understanding, and help with the testing process! And thank you to everyone who continues to test Pets and help us decide on new features… we have some exciting stuff coming up!

OMGPOP Cash, a word from our CEO!

This week omgpop will be launching a second currency called Cash. Cash, as in similar games you are familiar with, can be bought but not earned. Why are we launching Cash?

1) Omgpop is still committed to being the best free games site ever. Some players are happy with their experience and enjoy it for free. Other players want more - more items, more maps, more games. When these items are supported by cash it’s easier for us to produce them faster. We are able to hire more artists and more game developers. And that means more crew for you to pwn as well.

2) We try to be as generous as possible. We give coins for when ads play, for following us on facebook and even in a lottery in the chat room. That’s because omgpop loves its players. Having cash allows us, with two types of currencies, to still give away lots of coins but keep everything balanced on the site.

3) Now that we have some betting games like pool (and more to come), it makes sense to use coins as opposed to making people buy chips, as card games do. Since coins are used for betting we wanted to make cash a separate currency from betting.

We know everyone hates change but every day we’re working hard with you to make the bestest funnest games site. After lots of research, deep thought and 600 cases of coke zero we believe cash will help us make the site even better.

Thanks for reading. Please feel free to send any additional questions to feedback@omgpop.com. The whole staff including myself, Swiftor and Charles, reads every single email. Even if it takes us all night.

Exclusive World Cup Balloono Achievement

Starting early next week, you’ll be able to earn the World Cup Balloono Achievement.

The catch?

You need to own Balloono shirt for the winning World Cup team before July 10th! Shirts purchased after July 10th won’t be able to earn you the achievement.

Netherlands Balloono Shirt: http://www.omgpop.com/shops/shop/balloono/category/tops/product/2217

Spain Balloono Shirt: http://www.omgpop.com/#/shops/shop/balloono/category/tops/product/2215

So snag the Balloono shirt for the team you think will win (or both teams)! Then if you have the shirt of the winner, just play a Balloono game early next week (we’ll announce when it’s ready) and you’ll get your exclusive achievement.

This is our first achievement like this, what do you think?

Play More Games, Get More Coins

We’ve updated the way you get coins for playing games. Are you ready for this?

We’re going to give you coins for every different game you play! You get more coins when you’re a higher level in that game too.

Set get out there and play Balloono, Draw My Thing, Pool, Dinglepop, Booya, … all of em’!

Want an example? Check it out:

If you’re level 1 in Balloono, you’ll get 50 coins the first time you play it today.
If you’re level 4, you’ll get 75 coins.
If you’re level 10, you’ll get 100.
If you’re level 25+, you’ll get 125.

So you can play EVERY game on OMGPOP and it’ll add up to be a lot of coins. So if you’re level 10 in 10 of our different games, that’s an easy 1000 coins everyday. It can get way higher too.

Yeah, we’re giving out more coins, but we think its worth it so you can try out different games!
