Rocking Rackets

We have just launched many new features and our first VIP World. You can join this game world by spending one of your paid chips. If you don't have paid chips, you can buy them on the Become VIP page.

Some other VIP features have also been launched: VIPs can now have four players (except on the VIP world, it's three players there), they can babysit accounts of other VIPs and they can see ranking graphs for players, managers and clubs. If you have not used your free VIP chip yet, you can try these features yourself by spending your chip on the Become VIP page.

One more very cool new VIP feature: you can create a new player for every paid chip you spend on a server (except the VIP server). You can try this feature under "Hire Players" in a game world.

Another new feature, for both VIPs and non-VIPS, are trainers. You can promote old players to trainers, who will be able to train with your other players. VIPs can have four trainers (three on the VIP server) and non-VIPs can have one trainer. Read more about trainers in the Help.

Don't forget: if you want to try the new VIP features and haven't done so already, you have a free week of VIP available on the Become VIP page.

As you may have noticed, Rocking Rackets has been down more often lately than it should be. We are working on solving this but it probably means we will have to change our hosting.

In the meantime it may be possible that days or weeks are skipped, causing the day timers to get stuck at 0:00. This will always solve itself but may cause the game to stand still for a game-week.

We hope you have patience with us while we work to solve this.

We're pleased to announce our first VIP-only server. This server will have a maximum of 50 managers. You can only join it by using a paid chip. You can buy chips on the Become VIP page.

At the same time a few new VIP features will be released: graphs of your and your player's performance, “babysitting” of another VIP's account and a fourth player (the VIP server will still have three players per manager).

All this will become available on Sunday February 15th, at 21:00 CET (UTC+01:00).

We will soon start a new game world.

Because of the popularity of the fast game worlds, this will be another fast one.

It will start tomorrow (monday) at 21:00 central european time (UTC+1)

After evaluating the age functions we made another change to the age percentages. We added a hidden "aging factor" for player which defines how quickly they grow old. Players now can have different age percentages at the same age. Some players go up faster, reach a percentage higher than 100% but go down earlier, others go up slower, never reach 100% but stay at relatively high percentages longer.
In the prime ages (20-25) the difference between players is never more than 3%.
We might slightly change the numbers again next week, but if we do this, they will be only minor changes of 1 or 2 percent. Sorry for the confusion in the meantime.

To improve this game we are also still looking for translators, mostly to Polish, Czech, Japanese and Korean.
