New Badges feature??? Huh??

[briguynv]

On my help page in RS, it says a new feature is "Badges" (Collect badges and earn rewards. View your badges under Main Menu > Messages - > Badges.)

But I don't have "Badges" on my Menu > Messages page... is this an error? Was it accidentally posted early for a future addition?

Just curious if it's an error, since my BS Help/FAQ is totally wrong... so I thought maybe this was wrong too. lol

Hi briguynv -

There has not yet been an announcement with additional information about badges.

Edit: To see announcement about badges please see the below linked thread.
Badges: Yes, you need them

I have a few nbrs who now have badges. I'm still badgeless. I have a new iPod, everything up 2 date w/ RS vers. 1.2.5. I know 1 of the nbrs who has the badges is working off an iPhone, not an iPod. I may b stupid but I don't know how 2 tell exactly what iPod I have. 

Blueize: The badges are being rolled out gradually. It is independent of the device. I play 3 games and didn't get badges on any.

The badges are fun - if you're an active player who tips and sends/receives gifts all the time, you'll be rewarded for what you do anyway. The activities are also another way to earn gems once you reach gold badge level. I've already earned a gem for hitting the gold level for tipping. For those of you who don't have it yet, I'd hold off on doing some stuff like buying decorations for your bakery/restaurant or spending gems until you get them since that also helps get to the different medal levels. Some of your past activity counts and some don't. I haven't been able to figure out what or how much they've counted from what I've done before and what they just started at "zero" with.

I'm an active 4 star player, but I have Android OS so I have to wait months to get badges, and lemon lime soda! Spoiled iOS users...have all the cool stuff!

No. Some Droid users get it, some iDevices get it. Sone Droids don't get it, some iDevices don't get it. It's not up to the device.
