Pocket Gardens news - improvements to lamp script

Hello friends - here's some news from Pocket Gardens.

We have made improvements to the scripts that control the lamps in all Pocket Gardens models that have them. The new lamp script is easier to use and more resource-friendly.

If you purchased any Pocket Gardens model with a lamp before December 16, 2009, you should have received an updated version from Carter Denja. If you have any of these models:

Thalia 10x10
Castalia 13x13
Persephone 4x6 lamp

and did not receive an updated model, please let Carter know and we'll send you one. You can distinguish the updated model in your inventory by looking at its Properties - the updated gardens have (2009-12-16) in the Description field.

All in-world vendors and XstreetSL have the updated gardens, so purchases after December 16, 2009 are not affected.

We're constantly working to make Pocket Gardens better, so please let us know if you have any comments. We sincerely hope you enjoy using them! We have more garden designs in the pipeline, and other VERY big news coming soon, so stay tuned.

Thank you for supporting Pocket Gardens!

Sincerely,
Carter Denja & Stormy Aluveaux
