Earn Rocket Dollars!

Greetings Rocketeers. Summer's here and we're ready for some fun!

Have you been coveting that sexy new outfit or those virtual hairdos but you didn't want to fork out real cash? We now offer a way for you to earn those dollars.

Here's how it works. Our partners are willing to flow you some Rocket Dollars if you fill out a short survey or take advantage of their offers.

On the launchpad, you'll see two new money-related objects. Click on each one to see a list of ways to earn Rocket Dollars.

If you click the wad of cash, you can earn up to 1000 Rocket Dollars just by taking free surveys. However, not everyone is eligible for all the surveys. It depends on where you live, how old your are, and what you do. The data sometimes comes from your profile, so make sure to fill it out correctly.

Have fun earning your R$ but don't blow it all on a virtual motorcycle like Captain Hoff!

Rocket Rewards

We've made a lot of cool changes lately, but the best improvement may be our new rewards system. Now you can earn both experience points and rocket points by participating in activities.

Whenever you play a game, you'll be rewarded. You can use the Rocket Points to buy new outfits and inspire others to ask you on virtual dates, or buy a monster pet that you can train to be the ultimate web warrior.


Even better, you'll get bonus Experience Points and Rocket Points just for signing in each day!

You'll receive notices every time you earn rewards. They appear over the rocket logo in the bottom-left. You'll also see helpful notices telling you when your friends come online.

We've also updated the UI and added some Chinese and Indian themed avatars - there's never been a better time to play RocketOn!

New Shops!

Flower Shop, Pet Food & more!

We've been making a lot of changes to RocketOn lately. Now there's a shop dedicated to selling all types of flowers. Each represents its own special message. You can find a flower for any occasion, and it's a great way of expressing yourself.

There's also a new shop for pet lovers. Want to make sure you're feeding your pet something it'll really enjoy? You can fatten up your pet by taking it to a number of sites and buying it a treat.

Here are few of the places you can go to find new shops:

Pet Shop

Hair Salon and Vintage Outfits

Costume Shop

Many of the shops can be found not too far from the launchpad (hint: try the wormholes) -- they've changed.

Gems Popping Up

Oh, those gems! Not only are they cool, but the are valuable because you can cash them in for Rocket Points. Now we've made it even more fun to collect gems. When you are hanging out in any room, you may see a gem pop up in a random location on the screen. The first user to click on the gem will get it. So keep your eyes open, mouse finger ready, and click on those gems!

Super Chat

We've made a number of really cool improvements to RocketOn chat.

At your request, we've implemented a chat log which records all of the public chat in a room. If you miss a comment from your friend, you can now scroll through the log to see what they've said. You can open the log at any time by clicking on the chat log icon in the nav bar.

To make it easier to tell people apart when chatting, we've color coded the user names that appear in the chat dialog box, so you can easily tell if the person chatting is a friend or not.

URLs are now clickable within chat - so if you find a site you like and type it into your chat, it is a live link that can be clicked on by everyone that views it.
