Free Elite Member Weekend Fun!

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had a great time during Free Elite Member Weekend. The Pandanda Moderators gave me reports of lots of shopping going on, as well as fashion shows and tree house parties. That's what I like to hear!

Mod Skippers and Mod Gemmza even took some pictures during the weekend. They said they'd love it if I shared them with you. Take a look and see if you made it into one of their pictures!

Free Elite Member WEEKEND!!

Yes, you read that right! This month's Free Elite Member event is not just for one day - it's for the whole weekend! Two whole days to try out the exciting benefits of being an Elite Member of Pandanda.

Everyone who logs in on Saturday and Sunday will have full access to all of Pandanda's Elite Membership features for the weekend!** You can use your Pandanda coins to buy anything at the Clothing Co. on East Market Street! Decorate your tree house with furniture from the House & Tree catalog, and unlock your tree house to have friends over! You can adopt a pet dragon from the Pet Shop! And you can even buy a Horse Companion from Questy, if you have reached a high enough Quest Level!

This event is for two whole days starting on Saturday at 12:01am PST and ending Sunday at 11:59pm PST , so don't miss out!

**Non-Elite pandas will get to keep all the Elite items purchased Saturday and Sunday, but will not be able to use them after Sunday without an Elite Membership, except on future Free Elite Member Days. Elite items will be returned to your closet and tree house storage after Sunday. Questy’s Horse Companions are Elite items. Dragon eggs will remain in your tree house, and will hatch about six days after you buy them.

Quest Rewards Catalog Updated!

All of you Super Questers have been waiting for it, and it's here at last! Questy has updated his Quest Rewards catalog with awesome items for Levels 70 and 75!

You asked for dragon companions in different colors - you got 'em! You asked for Trixie's hooded cloak - you got it! Plus, there are several more cool things that I really think you will like. I can't wait to see Super Questers all over Pandanda Land with the new items!

Remember, just because we have set Level 75 as the maximum Quest Level, it doesn't mean that Questing is over. There are still lots of Pandas working their way up the Levels. And each day new Pandas join Pandanda, and can begin Questing!

In honor of the new Quest items, check out the new poll! Let us know where you are in Quests - have you just begun, are you halfway to the maximum, have you reached the top? We want to know!

In case you forgot to check the results of the "Favorite Companion" poll, Dragons were by far the most popular, with 77% of the votes. Horse companions received 22% of the votes. But I don't think Horses have anything to worry about. Their owners love them!

Quest on, Pandas!

Ahoy Mateys! It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Yo-ho-ho! I look forward to International Talk Like a Pirate Day every year, but this year I almost forgot! Arrrgggg! Thank goodness Mod Jule reminded me.

Not sure how to talk like a pirate? Well, we've made it really easy for you! Just check out the Safe Chat menu from the toolbar at the bottom of your Pandanda screen. The very first group of Safe Chat phrases is "Pirate"!

You can say "Ahoy!" instead of "Hello!"  And instead of asking "Will you be my friend?" you can ask "Will ye be me bucko?" Just have fun with it!

I bet a lot of you have the pirate costume that Jule is wearing. If you do, get dressed up with your pirate panda pals and take a funny picture of you all talking like pirates! If you send your pictures to screenshots@pandanda.com with PIRATES in the subject line, I'll pick a few to feature here on my blog!

Avast! I must hit the high seas!

Pandanda Game Day on Saturday

The first Pandanda Game Day back in July was so much fun, that we decided it is time for another one! So make sure your bunny nets and ghost-catching backpacks are ready to go for your chance to earn lots of coins, and maybe even Panda Gold.

You will have a chance to win Panda Gold from Moderators in games of Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill. The Mods will be hosting as many games as they can fit into their shifts, giving you lots of chances to win Panda Gold. Instead of awarding 25 Gold for 1st place and 10 Gold for 2nd place like they usually do, they will award 250 Gold to 1st place and 100 Gold to 2nd place!

Also, every multiplayer game will award double Coins on Saturday. That means every time you play Pen the Pig, Line 4, Ghosts of Misty Hill, and Bunny Chase, you will receive twice as many Pandanda Coins as you usually do. There is no limit to the amount of Panda Coins you can win!

There is one change for Game Day to the usual rules for Panda Gold games. Normally, the rule is that you can only win Panda Gold once a day. But for Saturday only, you can win more than once a day, but you can only win Gold once from each Moderator.

For example, say you won Panda Gold from Jinxsey. If you play another game with Jinxsey and come in 1st or 2nd place, you can't win any more gold from her. But, if you see another Mod, like Maxxwell, later and play and win a game with him, you CAN win Panda Gold again! Every Mod will be keeping a list of their winners.

One rule has not changed - NO POTIONS! Just use your regular Panda skills to catch those bunnies and ghosts, with no help from turbo or bunny potions. I know everyone will play fairly!

I will be hosting some Panda Gold Games tomorrow, too! I'm planning to kick off Game Day with a visit at 12am Pandanda Time, then at 8am Pandanda Time, then again at 3pm Pandanda Time. You can click on each link to see what time it will be where you live.

Remember, you can only earn Panda Gold from  games that a Moderator or I am hosting. We will be traveling around all of the servers, so you might have a better chance of winning if you play on a less-crowded server. Panda Gold games will be available from 7am-12pm Pandanda Time and again from 2-7pm Pandanda Time, but you can earn double coins all day long!

Get ready to play!
