Original blog post: PlayTribes Demo At PDXLAN This Weekend!
"The Resurrection"
Oh man, how is this for an announcement! We will be showing off the PlayTribes this weekend at our InstantAction booth at PDXLAN 14 this weekend in Portland, Oregon. If anyone is going to the LAN, be sure to stop by our booth and check it out. What you see above is a killer picture that our good friend and intern Justin made, better known to all of you as Neolight. If you like what you see, please leave a comment below. We might be able to wrangle some shirts out of this so to gauge some interest, leave us your thoughts!I know a lot of you guys have been clammoring for any PlayTribes information for a while, so rest assured we have been working like crazy to get it ready. We are getting closer to a closed beta so stay tuned for more information! You can also head over to the Tribes forum area for more discussion.
The Future of Legions
As many of you have heard, InstantAction has ended operations. This is a sad day for many of us who not only enjoyed their products but also who knew the people involved. The IA folk are a bunch of great people, and we wish them future success wherever they may end up.
For those who don't know, crash7800 mentioned today in IRC during the IA announcement that Legions was being developed by a dedicated team of community members. It is uncertain what the effect of IA's shutdown will have on development. We are currently investigating what impact there will be and if there will be a future for Legions. We are optimistic and encourage you all to check back here for more news and updates.
All hope is not lost. Stay tuned. :)
Earn Tokens - Oh Snap!
From the IA Blog:
With today's release you'll notice that you can now earn tokens by simply clicking the "Earn Tokens" button from within the InstantAction Store. Once there you'll be presented with several different offers, for example, signing up for Netflix or taking a survey.
Each of these different offers yield a different amount of tokens so be sure to take note of how many tokens you will be receiving from the offer you are completing. Also note the rate at which certain offers take to go through, so you may need to be patient for your token balance to update and reflect the offer you have completed.
In addition to this change in the store below you'll find some of the other updates that came with this release:
New Features
Super Reward (see above)
New Lore Build

- Users in a shazbot game should now have the game status panel after a game has been played
