GamesCampus.com’s Shot-Online, a popular online golf game, has just been updated, and the guys up at OnNet USA, the company that runs the online games publisher, claim the update is the result of a collaboration between them and the Shot-Online community.
“We asked the Shot-Online community what they wanted to see updated or expanded upon and we got some great feedback,” said David Cheng, executive vice president of marketing and business development at GamesCampus. “Some of the features are big additions and some are small—but each and every one is something that was an important part of maximizing our community’s enjoyment of their time spent playing Shot-Online.
Wonderful interaction between publisher and players. Other online games operators and publishers would do well to follow suit. The players, after all, are the ones who play the game and spend both time and money just to have a good time. So it only follows that publishers and operators should listen to them. Hey, what have you got to lose?

Here’s a partial list of improvements done on Shot-Online by the update:
Group Whisper. Players can now send whispers and notes to several users at once using the shortcut key alt+direction key. The maximum number of players you can whisper or send notes to is 10.
New Slot. The game now has a slot for Odlelile, Elgin Marbles, and Stardust.
Cart Fee Reduction. The fee has dropped from 10,000NG to 1,000NG. NG refers to “Not Gold,” the in-game currency. Gold and Gold Plus members of Shot-Online can use carts for free.
Additional Menus and Options. If a player clicks on a co-player’s character’s name, avatar face, or personal score, the Info/Whisper menu will come up. In addition, when a player closes the game, there will be an additional step to confirm the close to avoid any players accidentally closing a session of play. Also, players can now change clubs with the PageUp and PageDown keys during a round.
Sound Volume. Shot-Online now has options to adjust the sound volume, including background music and sound effects, in the Option Menu.
Revamped Auction House. The Shot-Online Auction House has a new look. It also has a new restriction on the amount of auctions per character, a maximum of 16 each for item registration and for bidding. Players can also block items with durability below 10 percent.
New Random Courses. The game now has three new random courses at each difficulty level. When a player chooses a random course, they can choose course difficulty: easy, normal or hard.
