The 'Party' feature has been around since almost the beginning of Glitch but it has never had that much use, other than getting an ad hoc group of people together on a chat channel. But now it does!
Party Packs, available from the toy vendors, create a temporary space for members of a Party to get together by teleporting in to a private, shared location. There are five different party spaces available now (with more to come) each available in "taster" (10 minute) and full (60 minute) versions. Each of templates is a pretty crazy location in its own right and all come with lots of resources (a few mining rocks and several "making stations" where specific recipe ingredients spawn). People in the Party Space can use an "ATM" item in the location to extend the time if needed.
• Here are the five: Toxic Moon (a moon level with circulating convection craters), Nylon Phool (a tide pool fantasy), Double Rainbow (a candy-enhanced meadow), Pitchen Lilliputt (like miniature world, great for cubimal racing) , Mazza'la Gala (a Mazza'la/Firebog style party mansion).
• In case you hadn't used Parties much before, we just added an FAQ entry to give you the Party Basics.
(Bonus: For a limited time, use of Party Packs does not require a Party Permit from the Bureaucratic Hall ;)
