The city has a new coat of paint

Well, if you haven't noticed, mobtropolis got a new coat of paint. It's been a long time coming, and for a long while, the city was pretty ugly. After some fundraising and extra gnomes to do volunteer work, we were able to get a cleaner, fresher, and more fun look to the city.

In addition, the focus is now a little bit different. It's more "me-centric", where there's more focus on YOU, and what YOUR adventures are, but all the while being able to keep tabs on what interesting things OTHER people are doing.

You can also see what people have commented on your sceneshots under the "news" section. That way, you no longer have to go hunting and pecking for what other people have said about your adventures.
The facebook app is now converted to look like the external webpage, so you get all the same happy fun goodness on without leaving facebook.

In addition, unlike those other annoying facebook apps, mobtropolis doesn't require your friends to sign up or install the app in order to see what you've accomplished. Double plus!

There are some things that went away, however. Safaris are going to take a hiatus and come back in another form.

And the gallery (aka Judy Mode), is missing for a little bit, but will soon be back after a slight makeover.

However, to make up for it, there's the introduction of "Kevin". He's actually a new citizen working at his new city post. He's not a mascot, as much as a "City Evangelist". I always get a laugh when I look at him, since he looks so eager to take a picture.

Well, enjoy the new mobtropolis, and keep living a life worth living.

- The Mayor
