Shipwrecked Event Updates

The Shipwrecked Event continues to unfold and the first monster has been heavily damaged!

The event page has been updated (for users who have completed their registration) to reflect hit points remaining; don't worry – once this creature has been downed there are more to take its place so there's plenty of time to join in!

Leaderboards have also been added to the page to reflect our top scorers. This is just for a bit of competitive fun!

Shipwrecked Event Updates

Ahoy mateys!

Thank you all for the impressive amount of entries to the Shipwrecked Event! After some discussion with the team, we have decided to extend the event into September as well. The event will now end at 11:59PM on October 1st (the night before October rollover.) There are a total of FOUR monsters, and more may be added depending on how quickly they're brought down! We have added a section to the Art Gallery as well for the event so that your beautiful art submissions can be showcased. Check it out here!

Once we receive a few more days worth of attacks, we will also be introducing a leaderboard to track points! Who will come out on top?

August Newsletter

Happy August, everyone!

As per usual, please check out our Winner’s Showcase to see last month’s winners! This summer will continue to be a slow one. We are working behind the scenes on some more technical aspects of the website.

 

EVENT: Shipwrecked!

Polly & Kiwi need your help! Defeat epic sea monsters to earn Dubloons (and chip away their hit points) and cool treasures along the way! Dubloons will be able to be spent in the prize shop opening at the conclusion of the event! Throughout the month you will also be able to find Dubloons sometimes when fishing or diving!

 

UPDATE: Forum Changes

Adjustments have been made to the forums to increase speed and performance. We continue to evaluate other sections of the site for ways to improve page load times. Further changes to come!

 

DTE: Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappe

The DTE is back this month with an adorable design by Loppyrae! Details can be found on the activity page.

 

All activities have been rolled over and are ready for the new month!

Further Green Acres Updates

We have made some further adjustments to Green Acres while we work to resolve some performance issues around the site.
Keep in mind these changes are temporary and will eventually revert back once we feel the site is more stable!

The same "Harvest All" functionality of the farm has been expanded to the Barn and Coop. (Orchard and Trellis are slated for the near future, after ensuring no bugs in Barn/Coop.)

We have also rolled out the effects of the "Golden" tools for all areas of GA. Whatever tool you have/had will remain the same, but regardless all plots will be watered/tended as if you had a golden tool for the time being!

Some visual updates have been made to the farm art as well to better distinguish plots from one another.

We appreciate your patience while we continue to work to improve the site!

Green Acres & Appraisal Updates

Evening folks! We’ve implemented a few adjustments today as outlined below:
 

(Temporary) Harvest All Functionality

While we work on upgrades to the site, we’ve temporarily instated “harvest all” functionality for your Farm. When you go to harvest a crop at this time, ALL harvestable crops will be harvested at that time much like the Gold Watering Can for watering all crops at one time. Once we can assess how this is working we will likely roll out the same (temporary) benefit for other areas of Green Acres.

Eventually this functionality will be removed as our long-term plans are to make this a “perk” obtainable through advancement in Magic. But for now, enjoy the speedier process!
 

Updated Green Acres Art & Bee Boxes

All areas of Green Acres now have adorable updated art by Loppy! Additionally, Bee Boxes in the Orchard now display the specific Beeb currently inside (if there is one). You can click on the Hive to “tend” to your Beeb as normal, or click on the Beeb itself to view its page where you can change its name & edit its description!

Updated Crafting Workshop Art

Much like Green Acres, the Workshop benches have gotten a Loppy glow-up! (The future expansions may not be out yet, but this gives you a preview of what's to come!)

 

Implementation of In-Masterlist Appraisals

Appraisals are now obtained directly from the Masterlist page of the desired Midveiler under your ownership. You will find a “Request Appraisal” button at the bottom of the page of your (designed) Midveiler’s where you can submit a requested valuation and a link to your “proof” document. Please compile this document in Google Docs, sta.sh, or similar service and provide a single URL within the box for our mods to review. Make sure to enter the TOTAL valuation including the base price paid for the adoptable or MYO slot if applicable! Once your appraisal is approved, the valuation will show on the Masterlist entry (until traded) for proof of appraisal!
