PetVille Pet Wing Mystery Crates: Hot or not?

What's one thing every virtual pet needs? Animated wings, of course. Now that's a possibility in PetVille, which has added a limited edition series pet wing mystery crates to the premium in-game store.

Each mystery crate costs 25 PetVille cash, and the first purchase comes with a special closet where you can hang your wings. There are six sets of wings in all and they're animated, so even if your pet can't fly, they'll have a new accessory flapping gently behind them.

So far, we know that the collection includes a pair of white angel wings and grey bat-like wings (see pic to the right), if you know what the other wings are like, please leave us a comment below.

Animated wings have proven popular in other virtual pet games, namely Pet Society, but it seems like players would just rather spend the 25 PV cash to just buy wings, without having to deal with the whole 'mystery' of which random pair will be inside these boxes. We can already anticipate the uproar if owners spends the money to buy more than one of these boxes and get multiple sets of the same wings.

Petville Adds Three New Rooms

Petville developer Zynga added a tremendous amount of virtual real estate to their ever-growing pet game late yesterday, by adding three more room expansions. For those keeping track, this brings the total number of available rooms to 9.

Although a final figure hasn’t been confirmed, the pricetag for the three rooms is undoubtedly quite high – purchasing room six (which must be done before gaining access to these three) runs a hefty 50,000 coins. Zynga seems to view these new rooms as Petville’s primary money sink, which I think is OK. Every game needs to have one, and it’s good to have a larger goal to work towards.

For those of you Petville players who like your rooms to follow a theme, these new rooms are added to the top of your house, meaning they would be more appropriate as a master bedroom or attic than a teenager’s basement lair.
