The new Oloko Website is here!

Hello Olokians

How are you all doing? We're doing great! Because we have some fantastic news for you! Oloko now has a new website! The design is similar but more modern! Bill, tell us what's new.

Hello from me too! The first thing you'll notice is that the homepage now offers the option to pre-register for the Oloko open beta. So, if you don't already have a Joubgames/Panfu.com account, you can create one now to be ready for the open beta!



That sounds fantastic! But that's not all. The new website is also mobile-friendly. It now adapts perfectly to your device. And there's more! There are also new features here on the blog: Nico, that's your specialty!

Yes Marla! I've already found out what's changed on our Oloko blog. Among other things:

-> You can now write comments. Simply click on the respective post and scroll down.
-> You can now browse back to older posts in the blog or use the archive on the right.
->
The calendar on the blog is now working. You can now see exactly how many days the current month has.
-> 
The VIP profile page has been completed. Learn everything about the Oloko residents there.


Exciting! Even more exciting, though, is that I can reveal to you: Development of the brand-new HTML Oloko version is progressing very well. The team still has some work to do, however, to add missing features and ensure a smooth transition to the public beta. The planned release date is practically set and will be announced very soon. So check the Oloko website regularly!

If you have any questions about Oloko, feel free to ask them in the comments or in our Discord. We'll try to answer them!



The release of Oloko is so exciting! To help pass the time, feel free to join the new Oloko Discord server. Over 130 players have already joined since our last post. Thanks to everyone! If you'd like to join, click here.

If you don't want to wait any longer for Oloko, we recommend participating in the closed beta test version, for which all testers will receive exclusive rewards. To participate, you currently need to meet the following requirements:

New: Oloko Discord & Development update.

Hello Olokians

We hope you are all well! Today we're reporting with exciting news. The final development phase of the Oloko Closed Beta version has begun. The team has been working hard over the past few months to bring back missing features and improve the world of Oloko. The new HTML Oloko version has made such great progress that most of the original features are available again. Some have even been improved, some even with a new design  such as the new trading window:




Exactly, and the trading system has been improved so much that for the first time in Oloko's history, you can now trade digital items (the ones you use to customize your Oloko phone). And that's not all: minigames have also returned in the latest update for the closed beta version.



Yes, yes, Marla! I think this will be my absolute favorite minigame! But dear Oloko fans: the team still has a lot to do. The final closed beta development phase has begun, but the Oloko Team still needs to add a few missing features, and they need to implement some gameplay and performance improvements. Currently, the Oloko team is sticking to its plans to release an open beta sometime this spring, if everything goes well. We'll keep you updated here on the blog, of course.

Let's hope for the best! And finally, there's one more surprise for you! Oloko.eu is now officially on Discord!



The Oloko team would be delighted if you all join the Oloko Discord server. There, you'll also receive exclusive insights into Oloko's development in the near future. To join, Please click here.

Oloko Team was also a good keyword: From now on, you'll find a team page here on the website. There you can see who helps every day to make Oloko a beautiful place. You'll find the link both at the top and at the bottom of the website menu.


If you don't want to wait any longer for Oloko, we recommend participating in the closed beta test version, for which all testers will receive exclusive rewards. To participate, you currently need to meet the following requirements:
-> Have an active Panfu.com account that has reached at least level 10.
-> Have an active Discord account linked to the Panfu.com Discord. (You also get the access data & rules via the Discord)

Information about the Development Progress.

Hello Olokians,

We hope youre all doing well. Today we have a new development update for you regarding the current closed beta testing phase. Lets take a look together at the current state of development, when an open beta might be available, and whats planned for the near future. Bill, could you explain to the Olokians whats been happening in the last few months?

Ofcourse, Marla! Over the past few months, the Oloko team has been working very hard to add missing features to the brand-new, Flash-free version of Oloko. Among other things, furniture, groups, more quests, digital items (accessories for your Oloko phone), more clothing from the original Oloko, the backyard, missing locations, and more have returned. There were also some cool events, like the big summer party in August.

Yes, that was really cool, Bill! But there are also big updates coming soon, to make a open beta possible, where Oloko will finally be free for everyone. But Nico, tell us more about the next few months.

Of course! The Oloko team has revealed that there will be a huge XXL update again for the closed beta later this year, which will bring back more missing features, gameplay and performance improvements, more clothing, more furniture, bug fixes, and of course, a Christmas Event. Plans for early 2026 include bringing back the trading and selling system, adding minigames, missing and brand-new features, and much more. The team estimates that all these updates will be released during spring 2026 and then plans to launch an open beta where all Oloko players can play without any access restrictions and hopefully experience Oloko as it once was. Only better! ;)

That sounds great! But dont forget, with Closed Beta access you can already play Oloko and follow the Closed Beta development live. These are the current requirements to participate:
-> Have an active Panfu.com account that has reached at least level 10.
-> Have an active Discord account linked to Panfu. (You can also get the access data & rules via the Discord)
-> Own and link a Panfu Patreon membership level 2 (Panfu Explorer) or higher.

We look forward to seeing you and will of course keep everyone else up to date on important news on the Oloko X (Twitter) account and in the Oloko blog.

Our answers to your questions

Hello Olokians,


In our last blog post, we gave you the opportunity to ask us and the team questions about the Oloko comeback. Today, wed like to try to answer some of those questions. Please dont be discouraged if your question didnt make it this time; weve received more questions than we ever imagined. Lets start with the first question you asked:

Is it possible for me to use my old Oloko account again?
Unfortunately, its not possible to use accounts from the original Oloko. Youll need to create a new account or use your Panfu.com account.

Is there any information about when Oloko will be playable? / When will the closed beta end?
Oloko is already playable as a closed beta. The requirements for participation can always be found at the bottom of the current blog post. But what about an open beta? I asked the team, and they told us the following: "We are working hard on reprogramming Oloko from scratch using modern technology that completely eliminates the need for Flash Player. Since this is a lot of work and unforeseeable things can always happen, such as bugs, we dont want to commit to a precise date for the open beta yet. However, according to current estimates, we would like to start it towards the end of this year. Depending on progress, perhaps sooner or later."

What happens to Patreon members when Oloko is open to everyone?
Closed beta players will receive some rewards toward the end of the beta as a thank you for testing during development. Players who remain a member after the open beta launch will also be able to enjoy in-game benefits as a thank you, just like in Panfu.

Will Oloko be present on social media?
Absolutely! Were currently active on X (formerly Twitter), so feel free to check it out for exclusive insights. You can find the link in the menu above or at the end of this post ;)

Will we be allowed to film "Lets Plays" at some point?
This is permitted starting with the open beta.

Are users allowed to have their own blog that appears on your site (as in the original)
If fan blogs are created, we can also link them here in the blog after reviewing the content, just like in the original Oloko.

How do I apply to join the Oloko Mod Team?
We dont accept applications to join the moderator team. If the team notices players who are particularly well-received and need support, well contact them. For other open positions, please check the Joubgames.eu job page.

Will Oloko be 1:1 like before or will there be changes?
Most things will be exactly as you experienced them in the original Oloko version. Plants, quests, etc. However, some things will be slightly changed or improved. For example, there used to be three mobile apps for the shops, but now there will only be one. This means the three shops will be merged into one, so everything is clearly organized and in one place. The rooms for the shops will, of course, remain unchanged.

Will previously removed areas like Texa Relaxa and Dogville return? And will there be new quests or events?
These rooms are planned to be added to the closed beta at a later date. Unlike the original Oloko version, there will definitely be new events in the future. Several have already taken place in the closed beta. The next one will start very soon, so stay tuned ;)

And how can you play Oloko now?
To play Oloko now and participate in the closed beta, you must currently meet the following requirements:

-> Have an active Panfu.com account that has reached at least level 10.
-> Have an active Discord account linked to Panfu. (You can also get the access data & rules via the Discord)
-> Own and link a Panfu Patreon membership level 2 (Panfu Explorer) or higher.

We look forward to seeing you and will of course keep everyone else up to date on important news on the Oloko X (Twitter) account and in the Oloko blog.
