The WeGame Blog

Hey WeGamers,

Hope everyone is having a great week! We just released 2 new things on WeGame. Here’s the breakdown:

WeGame Tokens
WeGame now has two different types of currency you can earn: Gold & Tokens. Gold (aka ‘free currency’) is earned by doing actions on the site like uploading, commenting, posting in the forums, etc.. Tokens (aka ‘paid currency’) can only be earned by completing offers or by purchasing them with Paypal/Credit Cards/Mobile. You can get tokens here! Tokens have a much higher value than Gold. While it may take you a month to earn 500K gold and get a game from the store, you can easily earn 400 tokens with offers in an hour.

Game of the Day
The Store has temporarily been changed to Game of the Day. Every day we will offer a new game up for sale that can be purchased with WeGame Gold or Tokens. A new game will go up every day at 12AM PST. Keep an eye on the Store for some cool games! If there is a certain game you would like to see, post it in the comments!

Have fun,
Jared

Hi WeGamers!

After some consideration, we have decided to implement a cap on WeGame Gold. This cap will help us improve the WeGame experience by:

1. Acting as a spam deterrent to prevent users from attempting to accrue large amounts of gold through exploitative means.
2. Giving us better control of the economy so we can price items in the store at an achievable level for newer users.
3. Allowing us to implement new and exciting features around Gold in the near future.

We have decided to set the maximum Gold cap at 500,000 gold. The cap will be enacted on Monday July 14th. In order to allow users who currently exceed the cap to make use of their currency, there will be some vanity items added to the store that will no longer be available after the cap is enacted.

Hi WeGamers!

Just a quick post to let you know that we support Street Fighter 4 PC. You can challenge me on Gorndt if you wish to be destroyed (Pending me getting a working arcade stick.)

Hey WeGamers,

We know many of you are dedicated Twitter users. Based on suggestions we’ve received from the community, I hacked up some basic Twitter autoposting integration to WeGame late last night. Once you enter your Twitter credentials, WeGame will automatically post a Tweet when you start playing a game. You must be using the WeGame client. Check it out below:

First, go to Edit Profile and click the ‘My Twitter’ tab:

On this page, fill out your Twitter username & password. You can also customize the message we will send out when you start playing a game.

Once everything is filled out and saved, your gameplay activity will automatically get posted to your Twitter account:

This feature is still very BETA, so please let us know if something doesn’t work right. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi WeGamers,

Sorry for the inconvenience earlier this evening. We suffered a technical hiccup which resulted in out site going down for an hour – 2 hours. This has been resolved. Thank you for your patience!

Best,
Jared

Hi WeGamers,

We are currently experiencing some downtime on the main WeGame site. This also affects logging into & uploading with the WeGame client. We are working to restore service as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Hello WeGamers!

I’m very excited to announce our newest feature: Browser-based Chat! If you go to your “Online Friends” button at the bottom of the page and click to expand your list…

Then click the name of the person with whom you wish to chat…

Then send your message! Easy!

We hope you enjoy this new feature! As always, if you find any bugs, please email help@wegame.com.

Hi WeGamers!

We’re happy to announce a new portion of the WeGame site! We launched an early version of the WeGame Store just now. While you’ll only be able to buy titles currently, look forward to many new items of various types in the near future.

If you see a title you’d love to have, but cannot afford, feel free to complete some of the free offers available from the store page!

Hey WeGamers,

Some of you may have already noticed, but we just released a new feature called Titles. You can currently earn titles by unlocking achievements, but to start, we’ve given everyone 3 free ones. These titles currently show up on the forums and on your profile, but in the future they will show up everywhere your username is.

To see which titles you have available and to set your own, go to your profile and click the Edit link

You will then see a dropdown on the next page that says User Title:

Just click the dropdown, select a new title, and hit save! You now have your own WeGame user title!

Best,
Jared
