News and Updates
We hope you guys have enjoyed yourself this past month with our Nights of Corruption! Staff is sorry that it was a bit more scarce due to mainly of us getting sick, but we'll make it up to you! We have some new features and surprises for you guys, so look out! One of the new features is your avatar link will now link to your profile so you can get to it a lot easier!
October-Related Events Extended!
Due to staff being sick for most of the month, we have decided to extend the Nights of Corruption until November 14th. The Graveyard is now open and will be open until the end of the month, so make sure to cash in your feathers! Because we also weren't able to get to everything we wanted, we also have a few new species that were ready for release through the games.
The first is our October-exclusive species, the Bugbears! Go check out their page to read up on them. Again, since we didn't get around to it in time, they will be available all of November and then will not be able to be created until next October. The second is the addition of the Undead curse! Unlike Bugbears, these are available all year around with the other creepy curses such as Banshees and the Wendigos. All of these were done by the wonderful Kila <3
Welcome our Newest Admin!
Speaking of @Kila ... Please welcome her to the admin team as a new Monarch! She's been working hard all the time to help provide the best new stuff for our member-base and we could not do it all without her. Go congratulate her! <3
New Alert System !
Some of you may have noticed this installed not too long ago if you checked your User Control Panel recently. We have installed a new alert system that is located between the User CP and Threadlog. This will alert you if you have subscribed to a thread, if someone has posted in a thread you started, you have been quoted, or mentioned which brings us to this new update. You can now mention people! Simply type "@" followed by their username and they will be alerted through this new system. You can control these settings through the User CP.
New Character List !
You guys asked and we have delivered! The character list has been updated to now be organized by species rather than the users. You can choose the species at the top by letter and it will scroll down to that species. The species are then further separated into their subspecies such as dragons are broken into eastern, western, wyverns, and sea serpents. We have also updated the Names Taken list to reflect all new characters. This will force everyone to use their character profiles to now list your characters if you would like others to be able to find them easier. Below is the code you can you to link your characters.
Code:
<a href="LINK TO THREAD HERE" target="_blank">CHARACTER NAME</a> <br> (br will make it go to the next line and then just repeat for multiple characters!)Due to the new system having characters categorized by their species, hybrids have been sorted by the first species listed. If you see your character listed under the one that they do not affiliate with more, just let Hera know!
New Age-Restriction System !
We allow members 17+ and because of this, we must regulate explicit content to those under 18. We now have the prefixes [M] and [EX] that will mark off threads that contain mature material. While we always required the use of those tags in the title, the prefixes will prevent minors from viewing content they should not have access to. If you are 18+ and wish to view this content, just update your birthday!
New Icons !
Some of you may have noticed, but we have some new icons! We now have gems that will display underneath your avatars when you post on the forums! These little guys are linked to how many posts you have, so the more posts, the more gems you receive ;D We also have updated some of the icons in the shop! Not all of them have been updated, but they will slowly in time.
Hope you guys enjoy the new features <3
