Movetio Update #001

Hits now work with a name search, street fights are fairer, and your friends are easier to find everywhere.

The city never sleeps, and neither do we. This is our first update post: everything that went live over the past few days.

🆕 New

• The test phase has started: since 19 October you can play along in the test phase. Help us make the game better: testers who report bugs earn Premium Points to use after launch. Read all about it on the test phase page.
• Hits by name: from level 20 you look up your target by their exact player name. A hit costs 120 energy and asks you to confirm before it's placed. Level difference doesn't matter, but newcomers and members of your own family are off limits. If a player isn't a valid target, you'll only see why.
• Attack from a profile: if you can attack someone, their profile now shows an Attack button. If you can't, you'll see the reason.
• Friends: friends now have a small badge in the player list, and the "Friends only" filter shows just them. When sending a message or transferring money, you can quickly pick a friend from your list.

⚖️ Balance

• Street fights: you can attack players up to 10 levels above or below you. More targets, without it becoming unfair.
• Newcomer protection: new players are protected until level 3 and during their first 48 hours, against both attacks and hits. That gives everyone time to find their feet in the city.
• PvP list: you only see players in your city that you can actually attack, in random order. No more digging through who can and can't be hit.
• Jail time per crime: each crime can now have its own jail time when it goes wrong. Heavier jobs can keep you behind bars longer.
• Busted by the heat: if you get busted because your heat is too high, that crime's jail time is added on top.

🛠️ Improvements

• Home: the "Home" title is gone, leaving more room for what matters.
• English: we've fixed a good number of English texts.

🐞 Fixed

• City character profiles: opening one of these profiles could show an error; that's fixed.

🛡️ Fair play & security

• The contact form and the in-game bot check are better protected against bots. To avoid tipping off cheaters, we won't go into details.
• Our team has better tools to keep the game fair.
