4Paws,

While there is much to get used to, in small steps it is all doable. There is good and bad - as in most change. The essence of the game remains - that is seeking and finding the hidden objects. And yes, some rooms have undergone changes and others aren't as pretty or friendly, but that is the game. Changes equal new challenges and to me, that keeps things interesting - though I still don't like Mayan Temple, Plane Crash, and others that are dark.

Gifting is better, albeit somewhat confusing in the time window of every 24 hours + 1 second thing which continuously pushes the window start time back. Better because there isn't any limit, we can give everyone everyday and we can give more collection item gifties. There seems, for now, no Magical Gifting, but while that was wonderful it's not as advantageous as it once was - at least not for players who've been around a while. Since we can now give any one person 10 items a day, that is the way to help out newbies...

The Friends' feature of chatting is lovely as it opens up a way to talk to any friend - even those not here on the wiki. I have exchanged a couple of notes with people I've been friends with for years and that is nice. The invitations that are generated to join friends in other games are annoying, but the news feed is fun as you can keep up with how your friends are doing and send them a "yippee" that's timely.

Love being able to have unique avatars again, hence my shoes.

There are still some glitches, for me for example, I hit 952 yesterday and that's what shows on my avatar and my board, but not to friends who visit my board. No biggie, annoying, but tis okay. The new room looks locked to others, but I am at 80% right now.

What format do you use that forces you to update in order to play? Hope you change your mind, we're all here to help each other learn. Goodness knows it's been a learning curve for me and there have been moments of panic and frustration.
