Alia's Reviews: Feeling Sinister? A New MilMo Update

Now the good folks at Junebud gave Update 51 a different name than my catchy post title...but the new content with this update lets those of the dark and moody bent express themselves with some pretty tough looking gear.  And it all begins with a little lockbox....

The Sinister Lockbox!

When I read up on this new update and started playing to see all the new stuff, I had exactly two thoughts:

• Someone in Sweden must have been listening to my prayers and decided to give us new converters...one of Alia's Favorite Things.
• There was some devilishly smart thinking behind this new update in that it goes a long way to address some of the complaints/problems as of late, but I will get to that later.

Being without the Friend List on MilMo has caused several grumbles among players for the last few months.  Now, I both miss the feature and am glad that we do not have it, but the reasons for that are too esoteric for this post.  However, one of the many benefits of being a game GM is our ability to find other players, and it is with great joy that I found my fellow partner-in-game and very good friend Vanny this evening!

 

Happy 50th Update!

Now that I have recovered from the spring semester, it is time to enjoy myself with my favorite game.  Luckily, just when I need it the most, there is a new game update!  Launched just today, players can celebrate Junebud's 50th Update, by getting another chance at the Sea Festival event from last year.  Being one of those players, I have already begun and have attired myself accordingly.

There seems to be a walrus in the pool at SeaStar Resort who
only answers to the name Morris.  However, he does approve
of my Tactical Pirate look to assist on completing his tasks.

Oh What Shall We Do?

There have been some grumbles, some questions, and even some interesting speculation about the lack of recent updates to MilMo.  Then before the weekend got into full-swing, the always helpful Sara posted in the game forum why we were experiencing the lack of something new to do.  Due to Junebud's development of a game for the iPad, known as Tuff Tanks, the developers are allocating their human resources to getting this interesting and fun looking game ready for release.  (I am still waiting for a hint that we may see this game in the Google Play store, but so far, mum is the word)

Making Up Your Mind: Should You Start Playing MilMo?

Attention all potential players of MilMo, have you accidentally come across this blog or have seen an advertisement for MilMo and are still undecided whether or not to give the game a try?  Not sure what the game is about and thus have delayed getting yourself started? 

Well, you know can get a better feel of the look of the game with the new improved Home Page for the game.  If you decide to give the game a second look, the new home page offers a great video showing a great snapshot into how the game looks and some of what you can do and find in the game.  

 

You will have to make a small download to get the Unity Web Player plug-in for your browser, but it is just a little thing!  Within minutes you will be playing and discovering the game that yours truly just cannot get enough of! 

Aunty Alianore's Corner, Volume I, Issue 5: Kidding Around

Fun and games often can lead to misinterpretation, which
can cause anger and other conflict.

A while back, I found myself needing to deal with a situation between a few players where an "inside joke" that was being bandied around in the game took a really bad turn.  What had started as playing around a long-standing joke led to anger and hurt feelings.  Through much discussion and investigation, the problems and animosity between the players was resolved, however, as usual, it inspired me write a little bit about player relations.

MilMo Special 90% Off Sale...Or, When There is Just Not Enough Money in the Bank

Just every so often, the wonderful people at Junebud make some of our Cash Shop dreams into realities.  This week, the Cash Shop is featuring a 90% off sale on EVERYTHING!  Like many players, my first thought was....Phoenix Wings!  And then what else?  Well, so far some mystery boxes that yielded some cool stuff for the home, and then I bought a few other decorative items.  But the 24 hour clock is winding down until the sale ends, so I need to make some quick decisions!

Found some Legendary Goggles in one of my purchases
Mystery Boxes, trying to determine if they will be a part
of my "permanent look."

Remember players, while this is a great time to get some new loot that you might have been salivating over for awhile...it is also a great time to buy a membership at a fantastic price!  Membership allows for more quests and access to a few exclusive locations in the game, so go ahead and grab one and I will meet you in the hot tub on the Yacht!
