On the Premium board, Snarkie answered a couple of questions regarding the reset of P3 Habitorium. Read our P3 habitarium guide for more information.

Friends thing: Not fixed yet! They're working on it, though.

Loading Issue: We've narrowed this down to Flash player. Uninstalling and then reinstalling seems to do the trick. Try that!

5 vs. 10 uses: Not all consumable items have 10 uses. That was just an example. Like, Blue Ink Bottle has 5 drops. The pirate Ink Droppers have 10 drops. Some items can only be used once. Etc. And the NC bottles are indeed supposed to have 10 drops, not 5. I'm told that should be fixed in this next build.

Keeping NP: Yes. It's yours.

NP awarding: The NP not being awarded was a bug. This is beta, so we're not going back and granting any "unawarded" NP, if that's what you're asking about. It should hopefully be fixed this round, though, so if you're still not getting anything, please submit a report!

Multiple Habs: You're absolutely correct that, because of the NP earnings, it shouldn't be played on side accounts. The FAQ should say main account only, and it's being fixed soon. Don't worry if you already created a second, though. It's our fault. HOWEVER, please do NOT go back and load that Hab on your side account. It will award you NP if you level and we have to start dealing with people who play on multiple accounts once the FAQ is fixed. Don't want you caught in the crossfire. Just ignore the extra Habs until we can delete them!

Used up ink: I don't think they can replace full items... just fill them back up. But I'll check on that!

Replacing "empty" NC consumables: I'm told that's the plan. Long story short, it's a technical challenge because of the way Habitarium is set up. They just need to figure out how to do it and not break anything.

NC items rolling over to launch: Yes. We will be resetting again at least once for sure when we launch the game to everyone. Between now and then, though, we may reset again many times or not at all. Depends on what we need to have you all test. And you may not have your items refilled every time, because we're testing and turning things around so quickly. But regardless of how many times beta resets, *anything* you purchase during this time will be returned/refilled during that final reset when the game launches. Does that make sense? Lemme know if I'm just being confusing.

Trophy/Spotlight: Trophy, no. Spotlight, we're thinking about it. Lots of things to work out, but no decisions have been made yet.

P3 menu: We have something in development already. It's not a menu, but it makes it MUCH easier to find the profession you're looking for without clicking through everything. Might not be ready for launch. I think it's coming a bit after that. But it is coming.

Naming: This was a feature, actually, but we removed it for emotional reasons. I'm not kidding. People were getting really attached to named P3s and, instead of being happy about getting a gem, they were sad Billy was gone.

Keep checking for more updates...

I look much cuter asleep...
