XuQa 2.0 is launching this weekend

After months and months of developing, fixing bugs and developing some more, XuQa 2.0 is ready. We're in the final stages of bug fixing / beta testing and expect to take XuQa 2.0 live over the weekend.

A big thank you to all the users who helped us beta test. =) You rock!

So what is XuQa 2.0?

Its an online reality game, where people compete for wealth, status and power. If you win (get to level 10), you get $1000!

Yup. Its pretty simple. Its all about being famous and rich (thats what XuQa 1.0 was about anyways). Get famous by getting people to visit your profile and get rich by winning at Peanut Poker.
Your level (1-10) = Profile views + # of wins at Peanut Poker
Each new level will give you access to lots of cool items and rewards. Get to level 10, and you will win $1000!

We've also added customizable profiles, 6 new actions and 6 hidden ones which you can un-lock (we got bored of just kisses and tickles!), new ways to get peanuts, your own fully customizable poker room and lots more.

Since we've rewritten the entire backend, after the first few days of launch, XuQa 2.0 will be much faster and more stable than 1.0. Thats a promise. =) (error 808 haunts us just as much)

What about features from XuQa 1.0? Blogs, profiles, pictures?

Blogs
We've renamed blogs to forums (because thats what they were anyways). They're super-charged now. Post Flash movies, images and HTML! The forums will be have their own section and will not show up on the main page (in an effort to reduce clutter)

Profiles
Yes. They're all there. In fact profiles are now completely customizable and they're compatible with myspace codes. So no need to make a another profile, just copy paste your myspace one.

Pictures
Yup. In fact we now allow UNLIMITED picture uploads =)

Some stuff to look out for:

1. A lot is changing. We've rewritten the code for the entire site, redone the user interface, added a game play element, poker, etc etc. As a result the site will be down for approximately 24 hours while we make the switch. We hope to get the job done sooner, but we're keeping some spare time for unexpected issues. Note: All that can go wrong, will go wrong (Murphey's law).

2. After the initial downtime of 24 hours, the site realistically will still be buggy (despite our best efforts). So please give us another 3-4 days to hash everything out. During this time, if you see a bug, please send us an email via the contact us page. This will allow us to find and squash bugs much faster. Your email will be read by one of the founders and we promise to read and respond to every email within 24 hours.

3. If you don't like a feature or its implementation / have a suggestion to make things better, please leave your comments either with customer support or via the suggestion box on the left. We've changed a lot of things and feedback from you guys would be very helpful in fixing things we might have overlooked.
