[ANNOUNCEMENT] The Future of YoWorld Part 3 (Sept. 22, 2020)

[XxDavid SmithxX (187490437)]

how long will the game be down for????? its great that you guys are working on transferring things over like the current amount of yocoins we have!!!!! hopefully we can get back on within like an hour from now!!!!!

[Jennepha (117910247)]

Thank you! I feel so much better! I love this game and was afraid it would change too much!
You guys rock!

[Kat (106520804)]

I'm curious, will they be fixing issues that have been broken in the game for years or getting rid of them? For example the factory furniture building, the adding friends feature that was supposed to help you go up the ladder in the factory, the broken 1000 coin mystery pack that only works some of the time, all the broken things going on right now such as most things tied to the buddy list like the gem icon/ buddy list situation. Will the AH be upgraded with the changeover or is that still on the back burner, will we have new features to look forward to that upgrade what we have or will the problems and issues we have now still be there when we move to html5??

Oh yeah and the problem with Auction house notifications no longer working most of the time. I figured that they would have fixed that by now.

Where did you hear YW is leaving Facebook? I can't even buy game cash presently. FB wants to charge tax on pixels and my state doesn't tax these kind of games.

[KTD (187491357)]

Completely computer illiterate, read the announcement, will we still have to go through Facebook to log into YoWorld?

[YoYo (137962683)]

Hi YoTeam, I like to know if it is more safe to keep items at homes or at inventory? And will the risk not to be transfered immediately be higher for old items (2009-2016) than for items from 2017? I see a lot of ppl selling bulks of items 2009-2016 nowadays, so obviously yoworldians expect more problems with old items. Is it for sure that we leave fb? Thx in advance for your reply!

[SkinnyPete (103197293)]

Thank you soooo much!! I appreciate y'all working so hard to keep us happy.

I don't know if this is already been asked , but what about the forum?
This also runs on Flash and you only can login by connecting to Facebook. I don't post a lot, but I love to read everything and it would be a big loss if older posts will disappear!

it was a question they asked on a survey i thought this was what this was all about that

[Aurora Blue (187196799)]

FACEBOOK GAMEROOM NO LONGER WORKING... yo world gone on it cant find reinstall either...

[BlackfeatherCoutlee (118719439)]

So.......someone please explain what is going on? Is Yoworld moving somewhere or what?? This is all confusing with the bugs going on just trying to get into Facebook Gameroom.

Hello Yoworld. I am here in hopes of a glimpse of hope. My 12 yr FB account was suddenly disabled last week, no way to contact help support or even email FB not even the Help page- my 12 yr acct is gone along with it photos memories and my beloved Yoworld acct I have built up over the years almost level 400 had many many homes thousands of items, many friends. many creations much work put into, some rares collections and some $ invested into my favorite game of all time- now I cannot access my yoworld game as it is only through FB- no longer can access my yoworld account. The account I am now was an old unused account made years ago when I had trouble logging into my main one. That is how I made it here now. Very discouraging lost friends several hundred, to start all over after 11-12 yrs discouraging. Will Yoworld be offered off FB for others to play access? There was a poll taken maybe 2-3 months ago if not mistaken asking about Yoworld maybe off FB, I am not sure what results are. My hopes is it will be and I can regain my acct. Im devastated. Any words of encouragement is appreciated. I did email support and another dept no reply yet but I also understand maybe no answer right this moment but I am hoping to hear back to know for sure if its possible my yoworld acct can be saved -- my acct still exist on here----just not the FB account to access it

Sadly, this is a Facebook issue and not something BVG can rectify. You will need to contact FB directly and they will (probably) ask you to prove your identity to verify your account.

Best of luck!

Hi Thank you Kitten. Upon my research and looking into, this seems to have happened and is happening to a few last few months alone, even over last 2-3 years even to business pages its happened suddenly and no response back from FB,we receive a small pop up saying disabled and cannot be reversed. The help page directs us to upload an ID but instantly rejects it with same message disabled like the account no longer exists definitely no access to it. Seems it has happened to Yoworld players (long time players even) over time here and there. I have read on forums the other day same issue as me some yoworld players invested years and enjoy this game- LOVE this game and cannot access now. Me and others have searched for days how to contact FB -they have no email support, their phone number you call is automated directs you back to their Help page, no other way to reach out fix it I even sent a feedback from this FB acct with info, reaching out -nothing back.Those it happens to, don't appear to ever get a reply or get their FB account back 7, 10+ years old account. So, that was why I am reaching out to ask if a possibility Yoworld will be offering access off FB in near future possibly maybe even with the changes ---I was hoping so even before this happened and as I believe I took a poll on yoworld 2-3 months back asking that question or related. Was hoping they were maybe considering it and if they do - it is a glimpse of hope for me I may be able to retrieve my 11 yr Yoworld acct another way. I really don't want to start all over -much time over yrs much built up on my other so much and some $ into-- is my absolute fav past time, so this is devastating- daily player. Pretty bummed. My Yoworld account still exists as family still sees it and some friends but no way to access, they can still visit leave messages.. Thank you & for replying. Crossing my fingers to be reunited with my yoworld account. Lost without it lol.

I know that some players had 'questionable' accounts disabled by Facebook (account names that were not verifiable)...I am sorry that this happened to you...and hope you do hear back from FB!

The forum isn't Flash, it's PHP. They continue to release new versions of PHP as needed. That said, people are historically bad at updating PHP sites. 7.3 is the current version and 7.2 will lose support at the end of November. As long as BVG is on top of that, the forums will be fine.
