Phew, it's finally up. Shadow of the Villains has launched.

First of all, we're very sorry for the extended downtime Sunday and Monday. Because our development server died yesterday (down for the count apparently), we lost more than two days worth of work. We had to feverishly redo a bunch of stuff that was already done, and the launch was delayed a bit.

Partially because of that, we also had to drop a couple of features we had been planning to include in this expansion. Not to fear though. We will be adding these in over the next couple of weeks. We'll give you a few more details on that stuff soon.

Some of the puzzles involving Shangri La and Villain hunts are quite hard, so don't be too discouraged if you have trouble with them at first. Please note: we don't want any spoiler info involving Shangri La, the Prince or Villain Hunts posted on the City Hall boards. Any such info will be deleted by the mods.

Thanks everybody, and enjoy the expansion.

But everything looks great, thank you SOOO much :)

Sorry Piper, but your reply was a little too close to spoiler info this close to the expansion. I had to delete it.

The expansion is great Ben and Sunny. Thanks for all the hard work. I am looking forward to whatever else you have coming up.

Thank you Ben and Sunny for all your hard work!!

I really like the new font and the "Back" and "Leave" buttons.

As soon as I finish this treasure hunt my agency is in, I'll get around to concentrating more on the puzzles.

when you have a pass to Shangri La , do you have to go there the same day or can you hold on to it for later use?
