After a long time we have decided that we have to update the pricings of ingame items. Pearls required for premium features increased.

The duration premium workers stay changed from 8h to now 12h.


Until now the game world ended with your buildable area. With this update we extended the view to the jungle in the west and the path to the next city in the east.

You can see more objects in the surroundings and step by step we will activate them with new functionality.

• Switching through objects now centers the landscape objects too.

The **Lighthouse** is a very exklusive building with new animations specially for hotel groups. It is a tombola exclusive but may be available in events later on.

The **big hut** has lots of room for vacationeers and is also a tombola object.



We changed the rules and contents of the tombola to have easier access to the new special buildings.

Winning exclusives easier

The minimal gains in the tombola have been adjusted to the higher pearl price so that the daily free lot gives higher rewards.
We still show a number of winnings with higher chances but these are concentrated to the more interesting and exclusive winnings.

Bonus-Tombola

Players who want one special building should have a look to the new bonus tombola.
This contains only a very limited content that changes daily.

Higher transparency

Both tombolas show all the possible winnings in an expendable state and all the minimal - and most often - winnings.

• Buildings and objects as rewards are shown with bigger icon at the marketplace and in the tombola.
  
• The modifications and boosts are now directly available on top UI level. Many players had not even used the free boosts gained from login.
  
• Marketplace and Main-Menu got cross references.
  
• The login page links now to our pages at Facebook, Twitter and to our Community-Trello
  
• We increased the performance of the questscreen that slowed down with lots of active tasks.

Dear Hotel Managers,

We have activated a special Event Quest - the waterfall opening - in which you can earn Pearls worth 5€! Be quick and grab them! The event will be accessible to all until the 1st of June 2018!

Take a look to our latest patch as well:

- Large Terrain Extension

Larger hotel grounds are now possible. A total of three new areas now double the maximum unlockable hotel area – but of course you will have to work for this extension. The area activation does not automatically happen with a higher player level. Instead, various objects need to be collected:

- Pink event stars from the special events

- Rare rubber ducks from bathing activities

- Money purses from the hotel group activities. Yes, you can really get them, they are just very rare items – but you won’t need the hotel extension straight away.

After that, the demolition of trash objects will be necessary, however, the amount of trash is lower than in the core hotel areas, so with each demolition a new construction area is opened up. On top of that, the objects aren’t dried up, so you can keep them as decoration if you like.

Also, good news for fans of the whale skeleton and monkey rocks: You will find these in our new areas as well! They’re trashy, but cool all the same.

- Location-specific decoration rating

So far, there has been a consistent assessment of the average decoration throughout the hotel grounds, but with the additional unlockable space this will change as follows: Tourists will only notice the decoration in the immediate vicinity of the buildings they use. It does not bother them if there are barren corners - as long as they do not live there and do not use any activities in that area.

This became necessary since through are large terrain extension there is now a much larger area available at different times in the game.

An advantage is that you can achieve a higher decoration rating for your most important buildings much more quickly.
For achievement and quests the average decoration rating for buildings still applies, though.

- Quest progress

In the quest window most of your quests now show your progress so can see how far you are. Also, the large special rewards of the quests will be shown.

- Gourmet and Fullmoon

As part of the fullmoon party, an event star can now be earned.
Also, the balancing of the gourmet week has been adjusted.

- Online optimization

Aloha is a good game to have running all the time, even when you might be doing something else, but of course this takes a lot of computing power, even when your focus isn’t on the game at the time. That’s why, if you are inactive in the game window, the animation of your vacationers will freeze until you’re back in the game. It won’t make a difference from the corner of your eye since comments and activity notifications will still be active. As soon as your active in Aloha again, everything will be back to normal.

- Other changes and bug fixes

The display time for player notifications in the chat has been increased.

Objects in the lower corners of the hotel grounds were sometimes not displayed correctly. This has been fixed.

A graphic issue with some of the trash objects has been fixed.

A display error when clicking a player’s name while whispering has been fixed.

Important requests are again characterized with a !.
The browser version now requires the latest Flash Version (29).

Have fun playing!

Aloha hotel managers!

Have a look at our patchlog for yesterday's maintenance:

- New hotel classification: Superior

As hotel classification, Superior stands for a significant increase in service and offers.

In Aloha you will also receive this award from now on: Hotels from 1 star can qualify for the Superior Award during a special event once a month. First of all, the culinary service qualities of the hotel is checked during the gourmet weeks.

Those who qualify as a Superior hotel due to especially good service will receive a significant bonus on all vacationer reviews. It is also possible to exceed the previously maximum 5-star rating.

- New Event: Gourmet Weeks

Good food is an important part of a good vacation. That's why additional gourmet food will be unlocked during the Gourmet Week. These offers are only perceived by tourists if they have a desire for it.
For this purpose, an activity for generating culinary wishes is available at all reception areas during the event. In addition, vacationers with culinary interests can be booked in some residential buildings. These are also interested in the special offers without having a specific wish for them.

- Incorrect examination of clan projects corrected.

Available projects in the hotel groups were not always displayed correctly and it happened that, on occasion, individual projects could be activated several times. As a result, some hotel groups had too many members. This has been fixed and we informed the hotel groups: if the number of members was not voluntarily reduced in time, the most recently joined members were removed.

- Grill for hotel groups

With a new project, hotel groups can now set up a special grill buffet, which combines the offers from the fries stand and the small grill.

- Larger icons for buildings

All building icons were exchanged for higher resolution-icons.

- The display of the information tokens has been optimized, these can now be found on the top right of the screen.

- Activity buttons have been optimized.

- Display errors in projects were fixed

- The positioning of shop buildings in the right perspective was optimized.

- Buildings for sports apparel are now listed in the correct category.

-The Fullmoon event will now last one day longer (the events from the activity categories have been extended to one additional week).

- The new gourmet week has changed the course of the recurring events.

- The classic bathing season continues will still last a month.

- Superior gives you additional quality points and the maximum achievable rating will increase.

Dear Hotel Managers,

We are back online! Have fun playing and sorry for the inconvenience!

Your Aloha Team

Dear Florensians,

We would like to give you an update on the current situation:
At several IDCs of our provider OVH, a massive outage occurred at around 3am CET today. As of now the majority is powered back up but some are still missing.
In case of an outtake a power rescue system is usually in place , but for an unknown reason this has not worked.

Therefore, our whole system received an hard shutdown and with such a large environment as ours it will take a while to start up everything again.

Due to this unannounced shutdown, we have to check each of the systems for failures and unfortunately this is very time-consuming. Most likely you will be able to play again this evening.

We'll keep you updated on any changes and there will be an announcement as soon as you can play again.

Your Florensia Team
