Hey YoFans!
We're back for another round of testing for our Inventory update! You may remember we did a previous round of testing earlier this year, and after months of hard work and development, we are back for another beta test. We're looking for YoFans who would like to volunteer to test these changes and help us improve inventory loading for everyone!
What is the purpose of this update?Many players have built up huge inventories over the past nearly 15 years, and those inventories can take quite a while to load. Our goal is to decrease those loading times significantly!
Is there a possibility that my items may be lost?Absolutely not! There is a slight chance that some items may not be visible, but nothing on your account will be lost. All your items are tied to your account by specific Item IDs, and this Inventory update will not affect that. If you do happen to notice anything missing, or any items that are located in the wrong area, please let us know!
What parts of the game will be changed with this update?For the most part, you (hopefully) won’t notice any real changes in your day to day usage other than things loading substantially faster for you. That said, this will update the Inventory all over, including the Decor Inventory (both new and old), Costume/Avatar Editor, main Inventory box, Trading, Gifting, and the Auction House.
You’ll also see the way items are sorted and made consistent across all of the various Inventory locations. It will now sort NEW items first, and then by Item ID (essentially when the item was made) from newest to oldest after.
If I volunteer, how can I report issues that I may experience?Just like any other issues you may have, submit a ticket to our Player Support Team using the Help button above the YoWorld window, and they will be happy to help you! When you submit a ticket, please try to use ‘Inventory Update Report’ in your title, so we know you’re writing in about a potential issue or concern with our upcoming test.
Can I opt-out and return to the old Inventory if I have issues?You sure can! Just let our team know that you'd like to be removed from the test, and we can accommodate that. While we are happy to remove you from the test at your request, we would appreciate you allowing us to try and fix the issue you are experiencing first.
Ok, I'm interested! How do I sign up?Reply below, letting us know that you'd like to participate! We'll handle the rest from there.
What if I volunteered previously?You will automatically be included in this round of testing, so no need to volunteer again!
How will I know if I'm testing the Inventory changes?We'll be rolling it out in batches starting early next week to ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible, and you'll receive a notification in-game if/when you are selected.
You can also tell by a slight change to the inventory UI. Rather than saying how many pages you have, it will say "1-20+."
When does the beta start? Testing will kick off on December 15th!
We're very excited to begin the testing, so please let us know if you'd like to participate!
