Howdy Cowboys and Cowgirls!

Love is in the air and to celebrate we have a new event setup for you! It is time to start collecting hearts again! Complete a great new set and unlock awards as a community!

Basic Mechanics

• Hearts can be collected by doing jobs, duels, fort battles and quests in the game as well as by using special heart production items (Reward+item shop) or by recieving them from friends via the friendsbar
• When a player reaches a certain number of hearts a reward will be unlocked automatically.
• The collected hearts of all players will be accumulated and count for the community rewards (world event)
• The reward overview can be opened via an event button in the notification bar

Collecting hearts

• Hearts are a new currency that can only be used within the event's duration
• They can be collected by doing jobs, duels, construction, fort battles and quests
• There are two heart production items that produce hearts every x hours (12 and 24) but the hearts have to be colected by the player manually. 'One of these items is a normal reward, one can be bought in the item shop.

• Players recieve a report when other players send them hearts

Community/World event

• The globally collected hearts (Sum of hearts collected by all players on one world) is the basis of the World/Community rewards
• The community rewards can be opened as a second tab of the Reward window
• The number is updated every few minutes
• When x hearts are reached, the whole world will be rewarded
• The number of needed hearts depends on the number of active players at the beginning of the event on that world

Valentine's Wheel of Fortune

• Accessable via an extra interface button
• All rewards have the same chance to get dropped (Every "slice" of the wheel)
• Collected set items will be replaced by dollar, heart or bond rewards

• Additional spions can be bought for 50 nuggets/bonds each

Rewards

• After all rewards are obtained, additional hearts can be traded for bond items

Flower duels

We have a bug with Valentine’s Day Event bouquets. That means that players who have found bouquets last year were not able to find them this year:

• Three found last year, zero this year,
• Two last year, one this year, etc...

The reason for this is that we didn’t do the reset of statistics. Now that we know the source of the problem it will be fixed/kept it in mind for future similar events. We will do the reset today which means that all the players will be able to find up to three bouquets once more, even if they have already been found this year.

Bouquets will be available until 21^stof February (23:59 PM).

Due to some complaints we've received about loss of energy trying to find bouquets and weren't able to - we have decided to provide compensation to our players.

Starting on Friday morning 20/02/2015 00:01 AM until Friday evening 20/02/2015 23:59 PM, energy regeneration will be increased by 50%. This means your energy bar will fill 50% faster than it usually does for both premium and non premium players.
