A Few Quick Updates


Sorry if I haven't posted in a while, but I've been taking my EEEs (Extraordinarily Exhausting Examinations). Lol exams are such a drag.


So, to catch up, in this post I am going to try to squeeze in everything that's happened on Stardoll in the past few weeks. 




-New Super Supreme Store. 



This time, they were focusing on puns. Some of the names included a mix of Justin Bieber and a beaver, called Justin Beaver, Kitty Purry (Katy Perry), and Hannah Fontana (Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus doll with water spouting out of her head). My favorite would have to be Ronald Weaselly, a half-weasel Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasly in the Harry Potter movies. I haven't bought any of them, though. It's not really worth it. 


-Reserving Items in Starbazaar. Finally, you can choose who you want to sell certain items to and can reserve the things you want to buy, instead of having the person put it on sale and another user swinging by and buying it before you can. The only problem that might arise because of this is hackers. If a hacker(or, as I like to call them, P.T. --- stands for Password Thief)  ever hacked your account, they could just sell themselves your things for a very small fraction of the cost. 

-Beach Villa.
Now this I'm very excited about. Well, was. After watching the teaser, which most of us have watched, I got very excited, thinking that perhaps this would be an extension of your suite with different rooms and maybe a garden. After seeing this post by Mette.Stardoll on the Royalty discussion board, picture courtesy of Lel1996, I realized it's just going to be another over-priced Penthouse, only with a different background.


-Starcoins. Now this is going to take some getting used to. We now have two currencies, Stardollars for superstar members only and starcoins for others. It's all explained on the official Stardoll blog. Follow this link: 


-And, last but not least, the Disappearing LiuJo Freebies. 






On Thursday, May 19th, as I checked out the Cover page, I could not believe my eyes. Under the New Item, I saw some pretty decent-looking free clothes! Curious, I went on over to the Starplaza, and surely enough, they were still there, still free. Out of curiosity (and because the accessories were nicer than those we usually see), I put them all in my cart and clicked on 'buy'. It did not cost me a single starcoin, and it all got there intact!
Today, I logged on, wanting to see if there were any more free-clothing glitches, and the clothes had just GONE WITHOUT A TRACE. 
Since LiuJo is an Italian brand, maybe it was only intended to go to one country, and somewhere along the international glitch the prices got lost?
All I know is, I snapped them up without a moment's hesitation ;)
So, I think that should cover it. Check back soon for more updates
