The latest power is mazeban. Users must find there way to the end of the maze to win the game. The higher the ban the bigger the maze will be. You use your arrow keys to move around the maze. There is no need to use your mouse. This power has now been released and costs 400xats. It is unlimited. 
Here is a screen shot of a 45 hour mazeban. As you can see the maze is really big.
Hey Everyone
In this post I am going to show you a few fun things to do in your xat chat.
Connect 4 – Play with a friend and try to match 4 of your own smiles in a row. While playing try to figure out ways to win but make sure you watch the other players every move. In order to play this game you must select it from the left hand side bar and then private chat a user you wish to play.
Chess – Play a game of chess with a friend. In order to play this game you must select it from the left hand side bar and then private chat a user you wish to play.
Pool – Play a game of pool with a friend. In order to play this game you must select it from the left hand side bar and then private chat a user you wish to play.
Shoot – Play a game of shoot with a friend or the whole chat. Try to shoot as many smiles as you can. There is no way to win this game as the smiles keep on coming. If you don’t shoot any smilies your score will go down. This game can get really hard at times depending on how many people are playing. In order to play this game you must select it from the left hand side bar and then private chat a user you wish to play. If you are playing with the whole chat just simply select shoot and starting shooting the smiles.
Webcam – Why type when you can talk to friends on xat. Webcam can only be used in private chat.
BEFORE USING WEBCAM PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT TALKING TO A STRANGER. ONLY USE WEBCAM TO TALK WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!
In order to use the webcam you must select it from the left hand side bar and then private chat a user you wish to video chat with.
Doodle – Draw with a friend or with the whole chat. In order to use the doodle application you must select it from the left hand side bar.
Stick – Create your own stick figure animation. Once you have created your stick animation you can use it as your avatar, in your name or just post share it with everyone in the chat room. In order to use the stick application you must select it from the left hand side bar. You can use the stick application but you will not be able to post animations you have created without having the stick power. The stick power costs 300xats and can be brought at xat.com/powers.
Music – Create your own music tune. Once you have created your music tune you can use it in your name or post it to share with the rest of the chat. In order to use the music application you must select it from the left hand side bar. You can use the music application but if you try to post your tune to the rest of the chat it will not work without the music power. The music power costs 300xats and can be brought from xat.com/powers.
Youtube – Share youtube videos with friends or the whole chat. Simply copy and paste the youtube video url into the chat. In order to use the youtube application you must select it from the left hand side bar.

Hey Everyone
In this post I will be telling you a few ways to get new visitors to your chat and how to keep them coming back.
Promoting your Xat chat
If you have any spare xats or days you can promote your Xat chat room. Promoting your chat room will place it on Xat homepage (xat.com). It’s best to check how many chats are already promoted before you promote your own chat. If there are lots of chats already promoted, your chat will not get many visitors. If there are only a few chats promoted more visitors will come to your chat. Make sure you have plenty of moderators and owners on before you promote. If people are getting away with swearing, spamming etc.. your chat may get delisted or torched, which will cause you to loose your promotion time and block your chat from future promotions.
Share your Xat chat on Facebook and Twitter
Below each chat there is a way to tweet about your chat or to like your chat on facebook. This will allow your friends and followers to find out about your chat and visit.
Make your Xat chat about a certain topic
If you have a chat about one topic you may get more visitors coming to your chat. You could for example make your chat about gaming. This would bring in more users who like to play video games. There are also a lot of music chat rooms which allows you to relax and talk about the latest tracks. Some radio chat rooms may even allow you to DJ on there radio station.
Ways to keep your Xat chat popular
Keeping it clean
No one wants to go to a chat where users are always fighting. If you want users to keep on coming back make sure you are always polite to them. Keep talking to users of your chat to show that you care. It is nice to keep in touch with friends as you may find yourself being on Xat for a few years.
I have been on Xat for a couple of years now and I have met a lot of great friends who I still talk with when I see them online.
Follow the rules
You should read Xat terms before creating a chat room and before promoting your chat. If you often like to promote your chat and you don’t follow Xat terms you may find your chat getting de-listed or deleted/torched.
Don’t Abuse
You should not abuse your rank by kicking and banning users unfairly. If a user hasn’t done anything wrong don’t just kick or ban them for fun. If you do this then users will probably just leave your chat. Don’t abuse your chat room by scamming users as this will get your chat delisted or deleted. If you are caught scamming users your account may be torched which will cause you to loose all your xats, days and powers.
I hope this post will help you to get more visitors to your chat. If you have any feedback on this post then fill free to comment below.
Welcome to another post everyone.
Xat has added new Thanksgiving gifts that are only around for a limited time.
There are 14 new gifts in total.
Xat has only added gifts and not cards. This means all Thanksgiving gifts will cost 100 xats each.
If you are not into Thanksgiving don’t worry, Christmas will be here shortly and Xat will most likely add Christmas gifts and cards soon.
Remember:
Gifts cost 100 xats and Cards cost 50 xats each.
Welcome to my first post for the Xatworld’s blog. I am going to be telling you all about the latest news on Xats new epic power (GOLD). Just like purple, (GOLD) changes the colour of your pawn to gold and has a sparkle effect. If you have gold power you will appear higher on the users list.
Gold costs 50,000 xats which is around $175. Gold power is being sold at a rate of 25-50 at a time. If you are not able to buy this power during its release don’t worry, it will be unlimited at a later date.
Gold also comes with these Xat smilies: (gold) (goldb) (bar) (bars). Note: (goldb) can be used with Gback and (bars) is a hand for smilies.
If you dont have the xats to buy gold dont worry. Since gold came out, purple’s trade price has dropped by 5k. Instead of paying Xat’s store price of 25k you can save yourself 5k. Just don’t forget this is trades price which can go lower and higher at any time. It’s good to get this purple for a really low price just in case it does go back up.
Preview of Xat’s latest kiss “Love Hurts”.
Once again another Xat holiday season is upon us. To celebrate Thanksgiving and get everyone in the Christmas spirit Xat is starting to roll out some of its traditional Xat Thanksgiving and Xat Christmas pawns. We’ve compiled a list of those pawns currently active on our Xat pawn codes page.
As of this posting the pawn codes only work in one of the several test chats.
We’ll add to the list if we come across any new Xat Thanksgiving or Xat Christmas pawn codes.
Halloween is here and it’s time to get busy scare-ifying your chat. Clearly you can start by choosing a spooky Halloween chat background, but why not choose just the right smileys for your GLINE power. If you’re stumped and can’t quite decide on which smileys to use here are our choices for the top 12 Xat Halloween themed GLINE smileys (note that GLINE requires that you use “normal” non-combo smileys).
1 & 2 (vampire)(gst)
Ahh, Halloween classics! Where would we be without the undead.
3 & 4 (dead)(scb)
How about the “dead”?
5. (evil)
Perhaps the scariest of all Xat smileys.
6, 7 & 8 (shock)(aghast)(omg)
I’m not sure what these smileys were subjected to but their expressions clearly point to something scary and disturbing. Only 42 knows for sure.
9. (gagged)
What’s the backstory here? Why has this smiley had its mouth taped shut?
10. (rolling)
What sick contraption has this smiley endlessly rolling. One thing is sure, he’s not happy about it.
11. (beye)
Creepy smileys.
12. (sour)
All 12 for the GLINE power:
vampire,gst,dead,scb,evil,shock,aghast,omg,gagged,rolling,beye,sour
First off, a big thank you to everyone that helped take the Xatblogs Facebook page past 300+ likes. That was awesome!
While I now sort through the Xatblogs banned game idea entries here, as promised, are the details of the GBACK contest:
To make this as fair as possible for everyone, this will involve no skill set whatsoever.
1. You will be asked to complete or come close to completing a flash jigsaw puzzle (takes 2 to 5 minutes tops).
2. The puzzle, once complete, will reveal the name of a chat and provide you with your only instruction for completing a very simple task.
3. First person to complete the task wins one GBACK power – simple as that!
A link to the puzzle, with no additional information, will be Tweeted tonight, Saturday, October 1st at 8PM (pst – pacific standard time), on the Xatworld Twitter page.
IMPORTANT: To be clear, when this link displays a date of Saturday, October 1, 2011 and a time of 8:00:00 PM you’ll know that the tweet is close!
The first person to come “close enough” to completing the puzzle is sure to win – so, being fast clearly helps. If you’re in some far off time-zone set your alarm now!
Demo (try this out just so you know what to expect):

I won’t be taking questions on this so good luck to everyone.
———- contest over ———-
1. I tweeted this link via Xatworld’s Twitter feed at precisely 8:00 PM PST:
http://three.flash-gear.com/npuz/puz.php?c=v&id=3764247&k=40376817
2. Completing the puzzle would have given you this:
3. The secret code, found on the http://xat.com/xtblogs chat was “I WIN GBACK”
4. The first user to post was LITTLE JACK, second was Rkrd Zdk. I watched it go through and LJ posted 15-20 seconds sooner than Rkrd:
…not from us, but from a Brazilian radio station chat; two of them actually (Docedado and RadioCantoUniversal). Seems that sometime this week, RadioCantoUniversal, popped up on the supported list out of nowhere; assigning a record 2345 SUPPORTER to their chat; beating out Docedado by several hundred. Today however, seems that “Docedado” has taken it personally and accepted the challenge. They have added roughly 1000 additional supporter to their chat pulling ahead to 2602.
Here’s where they are right now:
Here’s the breakdown of what they spent to get there:
For U$200 We can buy Xat’s pack of 33,000 xats + 1980 days (currently the biggest bang for your buck)
Let’s cash those days in to make things easier. At roughly market value we get:
(1980 days * 13 xats) + the original 33,000 xats from the pack above = 60,540 xats
Worst case scenario, let’s say they had to buy supporter at cost (100 xats per unit). Here’s what they spent to get those 2602 supporter:
2602 supporter * 100 xats = 260,200 xats
That value translated to U$ (dollars):
260,200 / 60,540 xats = 4.3 blocks of Xat’s U$200 pack option or roughly U$860.00
Let’s see if RadioCantoUniversal hits back with another purchase
