*Blinks eyes* WAIT.. WHAT!? It’s already March???

First off, let’s welcome everyone to OPEN BETA!
We’re so excited as staff and a community to welcome new members as we reopen registration today, March 1st, 2018.

As we transition from Alpha 2.0 into Beta 2.0 we plan on updating and introducing new features!
During Alpha we introduced our Prototype Daily Chance - with Beta we plan to introduce new items for Daily Chance, but also.. *drumroll* our Prototype RIG!

Per usual, you’ll be seeing new commons hit the shops too.

Cheers!

March Crates have arrived!

If Open Beta wasn’t sweet enough, how about these new crate sets!? This month, Frizz and Static, have gifted us with the Valorous Knight (by Neb!) and Victorious Captain (by Bean!), as well as, the rare Floral Empress set (by Qt!).


Head on over to OMG Imports now!

COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS

Here at Voltra we pride ourselves on being a community and an important part of that is you guys! We want everyone to be a part of the change, because YOU are what makes Voltra what it is. That is why we are hosting yet another Community Discussion on March 16th, 2018 at 8:30pm Voltra time. (US - CST) The discussion will take place on Discord in the Community Discussion voice channel - set your reminders so you don’t miss out! ;D

Pixel Updates

This week we have a new hairstyle and updates to a few items based on your feedback.

Vyc has stocked some previous items with default tone additions!


Vivienne now offers one of the cutest hairstyles you've probably ever seen, Dolly Hair!



Here in the city of Voltra, the shop keepers have new additions periodically throughout the week. We summarize the new additions in each Surge, but most of the time these items have already been made available. You can find out daily if any new commons have arrived by viewing the "What's Happening?" section in the footer.

(This has already been a feature since Voltra opened, but we thought we'd bring it to everyone's attention just in case! )

Community Milestones!

Hopefully with our new citizens we will reach our next community milestones in no time!

The next Milestone Items will be released @:
-250k posts
-1k Volties
-100 Volties Online

You all got this!

Avatar Of The Week

Velvet plans on restarting her AOTW contest asap. Her contests will run throughout the week until Saturday. Good luck and may the best dressed Voltie win!

Blackout Event Pt 1 & 2

Currently you will find Blackout Event Pt 1 (alpha) items in Joyful Jamboree. These will be available throughout March. Keep an eye out for the announcement on Part 2 starting mid-March.

The blackout themed layout will stick around until the end of Part 2 when we figure out how to turn the lights back on!

Blackout Crates

Blackout Crates will be leaving shops at the end of the month! They are available in OMG Imports at a discounted rate of 150 ohms, compared to our normal rate of 250 ohms per crate. Grab some while you can!

As always, thanks for tuning in!

Closing of Event

Blackout Event Pt. 1 has come to an end. We hope you enjoyed this mini-event during Alpha to help us kick off Voltra 2.0! You met a few new NPCs; Violet, Vregory, and the VPD were so glad to meet you all! You witnessed growing relationships first hand - I am totally shipping Vivora (or Vaniene?)! And most importantly, we reconnected as a community and enjoyed our time spent on Voltra.

The blackout isn’t over though, power still needs to be restored. Blackout Pt. 2 will be launching mid March - what a great way to welcome new members during Open Beta 2.0.

Contest Winners:





Thank you for all who participated in the contests!
Winners will receive their prizes in the next 24-48 hours. You will receive a PM from me once the prize has been granted to your account.

Important Notes:
The event forum threads will be archived. If you’d like to keep your thread. Please PM a member of staff with a link to the thread so that it can be moved to the correct forum.

Event Items will still be in Joyful Jamboree throughout March as Blackout Pt. 2 will bring additional item sets! (Grab some extras while you can!)

Hey Volties, we hope you're enjoying the mini-event so far.
The Voltra staff worked really hard on every little detail and boy does it show!

Speaking of Voltra staff, we are currently looking for new members. Hurray~!
