I don’t suppose anyone has any word on scripted objects in Hipihi or what the Hipihi economy will be like or if there are plans to increase the bandwidth speed so that objects will be displayed faster?

As for Novoking, you can’t fly anymore unless you go through a set of steps to “level up”. The instructions are given in the interface, in Chinese text that can’t be copied and pasted into a machine translation system, so I can’t fly in Novoking anymore. I’ve asked repeatedly in the forums and no one has provided a useful answer so far.

If anyone can answer the question, in English, in sufficient detail to actually do it, of how to level up in Novoking, I’d like to know the answer.

Even a link to a detailed explanation in Chinese would be useful.

Thanks for sharing these great ideas. I’m bookmarking this for future reference. Some of these I already do, so the point resonated most strongly with me. Keep feeding the creativity.
I am currently on holiday so, for this reason, I’ve nothing better to do than surf the web for shopping, lie around and update my blog. Well, more or less anyway.

Interesting article. We visited Hipihi earlier this year and it seemed they still had quite a lot of work to do to actually launch in November.

Nevertheless the world looked quite nice and the decision to give people some free land is a good choice.

Very good post. I have visited HiPiHi on several occasions and follow all the news around them. This is one of the most detailed and insightful accounts about what they are doing compared to other Virtual Worlds in China.
