[UPDATED] Happy Imagination Day!
Today we pull the giant knife switch to turn on the new Imagination system! We need to squeeze a few chickens and rearrange some bits for imagination, so we are turning off access to the game for a bit today. Your characters will be run through our patented Imagino-matic 5000 to prepare for Imagination.
When we come back, you will almost certainly have a different level (the level curves in the new system are different). You will also be able to spend imagination (iMG) right away, but only on character upgrades (this is NOT the housing reset, so you won’t be charged for land expansion until that happens).
We do not have a hard ETA for when the servers will be back up, but we will provide updates on progress as the day progresses! We will also provide more information on the switch later in the day.
UPDATE (1:15pm PST) - We've completed the player conversion process and now we are testing the various systems affected by the change. You have probably seen some of the changes to skill learning times and your character! Even with all the moving parts, we are making good progress. In a few moments we are meeting to review our progress and determine roughly when the game will reopen to general players. I will update this post after that meeting.
UPDATE (2:15pm PST) - We are getting close! Only a few more items to tweak, one last round of internal testing, and then we will open the game again.
UPDATE (3:30pm PST) - Wow, we are on the very last task on the List of Things that *Need* to Get Done Before Opening the Game Again. So, we are doing that, double checking and we'll be back as soon as we possibly can.

Awesome! I've had so much fun in beta and in-game that I was considering chucking it all and starting over as a new player so I could do it all again. Thank goodness I didn't do that before the change to new housing and new Imagination.
I love you Tiny Speck. One day I'm going to come and work there. - cough cough... thanks ;o)
- YES!!!!
- SWEET!!!!
- So, I'm just wondering if the patented Imagino-matic 5000 will work as well as teleporting -- you know, that whole "near perfect re-assembly" bit? (I'm hoping that it works better, actually.)
- I have imagination.......
- and a mailbox at the top of my page.

Actually I think that when the door opens again it'll be a bit of an anticlimax. Your house isn't going to change. Your paid house is still there. There are no moving boxes. Game mechanics don't change. The only difference is that crafting and harvesting, etc, will accumulate imagination points instead of XP points. There will probably be 'I' quoins instead of 'XP' quoins. There is a limit to what you can spend your imagination on, since housing isn't changing yet. There may be the 'deal the cards for a character upgrade' bit, and some character skill / attribute shuffling. All in all I don't think the world will look that much different. Some counters and their associated numbers will change.
Not to diminish all the hard work put in by TS and the devs, just saying is all. - Please please tell me there is going to be Figments flying around :)
- Ahhhh! Can't wait! Openopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopen uuuuuup! <3
