Final Amount Raised for Haiti

HERE is the original post by Aldric.

"Here are the final results of the Haiti donations!

We have achieved an admirable sum of US$589 from your selflessness and generosity, and to chip in to the effort, the development team of Wiglington and Wenks is also donating another US$300, making our total contribution US$889. Unknown to many of you - in the original US$589 - John Bittleston (the author of Wiglington and Wenks) donated US$200 too.

While it is not a lot of money - every little bit helps - and we can be proud of the fact that we have put in our sincere efforts to help Haiti. All of you contributed in one way or another - either through donating, through talking about the event, through tweeting or through praying.

This unfortunate calamity could have happened to any of us, and in times of darkness, we would certainly appreciate a helping hand. This time, you lent your helping hand to the victims of Haiti.

On behalf of Haiti and Wiglington and Wenks, I thank all of you for your support and kindness.

Let us all pray for the quake victims of Haiti and hope that they stay resilient and rebuild their lives.

The donation of US$889 will go to the HSI( Humane Society International) disaster relief funds. Once we receive the official receipt from HSI, we will be putting it up for all of us to remember this touching moment when all the players of Wiglington and Wenks united and contributed to help Haiti as one family, even though we are all from different countries, timezones and cultures.

Travel On!

"Aldric Chang of Mediafreaks Ltd. updated us today on where things stand for Wiglington and Wenks, a virtual world for kids Chang took live last month. "Currently we have close to 50,000 registrants from over 140 countries. We have done very little in the form of advertising so far and most of this is based on word-of-mouth ... and there are approximately 30 or more fan blogs on WW at this moment -- and growing." Virtual Worlds News spoke with Chang last August, prior to the site's launch."

Geeky Mouse Cinema & Other Updates

HERE is the original post on the official blog. We've already posted most of these, but some are new.

"Dear Quest Travelers,

Sorry that we’ve been quieter on the forums lately. Well, we have been very very busy squashing the bugs and making updates to The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks Virtual World 

Some of you may have already noticed the updates, but just for the uninformed, here they are -

1. Geeky Mouse Cinema
Now you can view various videos from the cinema! Just scroll up and down to see the videos. We will be updating them periodically with original content we created or from our partners.

2. New Quest Travelers Guide
We now have a cool new button at the side of the virtual world screen that will link to a guide for Quest Travelers new to our virtual world!

3. Wiglington Town Guide
Wiglington now has a rotating question mark over his head, inviting new Quest Travelers to ask him general questions about our virtual world!

4. Wiglington and Wenks New Landing Page

As there are many wonderful sections on Wiglington and Wenks besides the virtual world itself to discover and explore - like the Kids’ Forum and the WW Blog - we decided that we had to upgrade our landing page and change the look to provide more buttons and information. We understand that it may seem a little cluttered but unfortunately, we really have a lot to say and offer!

5. Last but not least, we are working out various plans. They include -

- the selection of the Party Mod Trainees and working out a party schedule

- working out a schedule for our Mods to come on at specific times

- working out a schedule for Chee Yong, Galen, Aldric and Edrienne to come on at specific times

- the upcoming locations, historical people, games, quests, clothing, etc

- planning out a series of contests with attractive prizes

- and many many other features that will make your traveling experience in the World of Wiglington and Wenks just fantastic!

So during this time, if we are slightly quiet and slower to reply than usual, it’s because we are working super hard. But we can promise you that in time to come the main Staff members will meet you often on Wiglington and Wenks! 

Travel On!"
