2nd of 3: Drum Roll Please…

Stardoll is proud to introduce Achievements! Achievements are an awesome new feature on Stardoll that allow all players to show off their talents and interests to the rest of the community.  Not to mention that they also let members level up faster and earn more Starpoints!

When you go to your Suite, you will notice that you now have a shelf right underneath your room.  This top shelf is for displaying all of your awards which you get for completing achievements.

Open up the lower shelves using the tab with the arrow pointing downwards to see all of your earned awards.  From there, you can drag and drop the awards from your lower shelves onto your top shelf which will always be displayed to other members.

If you don’t have any awards yet, you better start earning them!  You can find out how to get an achievement by mousing over one of the empty achievement spaces.

These achievements are a great way to show who you really are and what you are proud of accomplishing to all of your friends.

So what are you waiting for? See how many cool achievements you can collect!

1st of 3: Level Up!

We are pleased to announce the launch of one of our most anticipated releases ever, the Level Up System! This change provides all Stardoll players a way to measure their own progress on Stardoll and challenge themselves to level up! The more levels a member achieves, the more cool bonus items and exclusive features will be unlocked on Stardoll!

We did not remove any of your accumulated Starpoints – we simply converted them into a User Level. This allows members to see how experienced they are on Stardoll as well as to know what they need to do to level up. Members who had a lot of Starpoints when the system was released still have all of their Starpoints, but now these points will be displayed as a User Level.

This change allows Starpoints to be awarded in real-time, and there will be clear instructions on how to earn more Starpoints.

Want to level up faster? Check our help section to find out how you can level up.

All of these exciting enhancements give members the ability to explore Stardoll on a new level and take advantage of all of the cool rewards and bonuses that are now possible with the level up system!

Please make sure that you remember to log out and then log back in if you don’t see the user level changes immediately!

Status Update: We’re Sorry Australia :(

Sadly, some of you in Australia are experiencing difficulties accessing Stardoll.com right now. We’re really sorry about this and we’ll spare you the boring technical details other than it’s mostly out of our hands, but please know that we’re working super hard together with our technical partners in Australia to get things back to normal for you as soon as possible. So thank you again for your unbelievable patience and we apologize for the interruption. We’ll make it up to you for sure.

Stay tuned for further updates on our Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/stardoll

Stardoll.com turns 5 today!

Stardoll.com has come a long way since 2006!  We’re proud to say that April 5th is the 5 year birthday of Stardoll.com as  you know it today.  But did you know anything about how it started?  And how it came to be?

Stardoll’s original name was Paperdollheaven.com, and started out as the hobby of the Scandinavian-born Liisa. Inspired by a childhood passion for paperdolls, Liisa started drawing dolls and accompanying wardrobes, and learning web design. Her personal homepage rapidly became a popular destination for teens. In 2004, with the help of her son, she upgraded the site, titled Paperdoll Heaven.  Today, Liisa is still an important part of the Stardoll family and she makes new paper dolls every week which you can find at Stardoll.com.

Today, Stardoll.com is still a virtual paperdoll community site for everyone who enjoys fashion, design and making friends, but now we have a large team working on making the latest and best website for all 100 million Stardoll members. Most of our members are girls between the ages of 7 and 17, but we welcome everyone to play on the site!

Stardoll is one of few places on the Internet developed with an emphasis on girls’ self-expression through fantasy and fashion play. Stardoll is a great place to spend time with friends and to meet other kids from all over the world.

Thanks to our 100 million users for being there for the past 5 years!

90 Million Celebrations on Stardoll

On Saturday January 15th at 19:08 (and 14 seconds, for those counting) Central European Time, Stardoll welcomed it’s 90 Millionth Member. WOW!  Congratulations to @biahbibs for winning the “Guess when we hit 90 Million” contest on our Twitter account, coming within 52 mins of the official time. Also, a 90 Million thank-you’s to everyone on Stardoll for helping us grow so big over the last 4 or so years (it will be our 5th birthday a little later this year). To celebrate, we’re putting on a cashback promotion all week, plus special themed items in Starplaza. Come join the fun…

 

Viva Las Vintage! (updated)

We’re happy to announce that StarBazaar – Stardoll’s Vintage Marketplace – is now open to everyone, not just Superstars.

Who can BUY in StarBazaar?

  • Superstars (just like before)
  • Non Superstars (if you have over 500 StarPoints and have verified your email address with us)

Who can SELL in StarBazaar?

Selling your self-designed items in StarBazaar is still a Superstar-only feature,  but if you feel there’s an inner Stella McCartney in you, just upgrade to a Superstar membership and start selling your own beautiful creations to the world!

UPDATE (Fri Dec 17, 2010)

Yesterday we reduced the limit of items Superstars can sell within a 24 hr period to 10 items. This wasn’t a popular change. So we listened (and agreed) and made a few tweaks…

There is NO LIMIT when you sell items that YOU HAVE DESIGNED (previously known as StarDesign)

For everything else, there will still be a 10 item/24 hr limit. This is to ensure that Stardoll continues to be a fair and safe environment for all our members – that’s ‘always’ our number one priority.

Interior Design Changes/Suite Improvements

Hey guys! You may notice a change in how some of your Interior Design (previously known as StarDesign) items are displayed. Today, our technical whizzkids made some tweaks that will improve the Suite experience overall, but it will affect some of your Interior Design Items.

The thing is, you were so clever, you figured out how to work around a small bug with zoomed and rotated items. The good news is, this old gremlin has been fixed! On the other hand, some of your items may look out of position – but you can easily adjust them the next time you’re on Stardoll.

The plus side is that your Suite will now work more smoothly, and the super plus side is you will be receiving an exclusive dress in this season’s must-have burnished gold.  Guaranteed to become a highly, historically desirable Stardoll collectible.

National Covergirl


National Covergirl works just like the regular Covergirl contest, but this time you can become Covergirl of your own country. Here’s how it works: Each day we will Crown National Covergirls in our most active countries. ALL winners will be displayed on the National Covergirl-page. That way you can not only just see who was voted National Covergirl in your country but also see other National Covergirls from around the world. Which country has the best style?

We still have our glorious Covergirl Contest . Crowning that one girl a day who has been getting most Covergirl votes on Stardoll. The ultimate fashionista!

Site News: About last night…

If you were on Stardoll.com last night (Tues Sept 14) between 18:30 – 20:00 CET you will have noticed things were not working as they should be. Although you could browse non-member sections of the site, you couldn’t log in, log out, access your account, buy Stardollars, etc…

Without using boring technical jargon, we had an unexpected super-high number of people on the site all at the same time. What do you do if you have too many people to fit on a boat? You get a bigger boat! So our technical whizzkids quickly upgraded our servers to accommodate all of you during this incredibly popular and busy time on Stardoll. You’ll be happy to know that everything is not only back to normal, it’s better than ever!

We just wanted to let you know why this happened, thank you for your patience and apologize for any disruption this may have caused you. x
