December Newsletter

Posted 2 weeks ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by TornPages

Hello everyone, and welcome to our monthly newsletter! Snow... We have some fun things both here and on the horizon that we can’t wait to share with you all!

Quick Navigation

 

Major Updates
Awards

We now have an award system in place. Many awards still need to be created, however starting on December 22nd, 2024, you will be allowed to claim an award for completing both of the prompts for the featured season moving forward. You can claim these seasonal awards once per season cycle.
Further, if you recall in the March / April event of Eggs Giving. it was mentioned to save the links to your approved submissions if you completed all 4 Eggs Giving 2024 major lore prompts, and this is exactly what that was for! If you completed all 4 Eggs Giving prompts, please submit a claim linking your 4 approved submissions in the comment, and a staff member will grant you the new award, Paca's Best Friend!

Soulbloom Compensation

Until December 15th, 2024, due to one of our event prompts not launching, there is a compensation period in which you can submit a claim with the comment "Soulbloom Compensation" and receive 9 Treats as compensation for the prompt not going live. You may only claim this compensation ONCE, and it will only be available until the 15th. Afterwards, the Halloween event shop will close until next year, and all Treats will be removed from user accounts to start anew next year.

Prompt Cancellations

Now, just like our design system, prompts can be cancelled and returned to the user as a draft instead of getting the harsh "Rejected" text all the time. This should make it easier to communicate changes, as well as request that criteria forms are added to submissions lacking one. Of course, some rejections may still happen if a prompt doesn't meet criteria, was submitted to the wrong prompt, or other situations of the sort, but we hope that returning your prompts to you without needing to redo everything you did have correct will be much less of a struggle for everyone, and possibly make the prompt submission process more engaging.

Character of the Month

An update to the Character of the Month prompt is that any users wishing to participate in the raffle to have their character featured MUST join our Discord Server. This is so staff can easily reach out to you on a short timeframe to get your character's information. Another rule being added is if we do not get a reply from you in 24 hours or less of us reaching out to you about winning, the raffle will be rerolled and someone else will get the featured spot.

Birthday Pet Update

As of last month, it has officially been one year since we installed a feature that hands gifts out to users on the first day of their birth month, and as a result, we have changed the pet featured in the gift bag. Due to there being no proper announcement for a grace period after installing the automatic birthday gifts last November, if you have a birthday in November or December, and you had an account on our site last year for those months, but you did NOT get the automatic birthday gift, we will manually grant you your birthday goodies from last year. Please submit a claim on the site and simply put something in your comment along the lines of "2023 November / December birthday claim". We will be checking accounts to verify birth month and if you got the gift or not. This claim is to get last year's Support (Birthday) pet, and not this year's Cake Pop pet.

 

Minor Updates

Game Nights!

ChaoChild 's Discord game nights will take place on December 7th for a standard game night, and December 14th for game of Frankenpaca! Both games will take place at 5pm EST. There will be reminders posted in the server when they're getting things ready and when the game is live! Be sure to keep an eye out to have some fun with what they have planned!

If you haven't yet, and you would like to participate in game nights, you can pick up the ping role for game nights in our #directory channel in the server!

Discord Server


Wish Granting

Reminder to anyone who signed up to our wish granting event last month, (see details HERE), to get your pieces completed. We have a prompt running currently that allows you to submit for your rewards already, but all submissions are kept private until the event is over. Alternatively, you can open a private ticket in our Discord Server, or send a message to JacyFox ( jacyfox on Discord) to be marked as done, and submit your prompt after the reveal date.

"Super Supporter" Role Retirement

The Super Supporter role is officially being retired. It hasn't been obtainable for a while now, and has caused issues in being broken, but after this newsletter is posted, any users who have this role currently will have their roles reverted into the standard user one, and the role will be permanently removed from the site. This will NOT affect anyone's patreon standing, but instead will simply get rid of something that has been causing issues for the site, in turn being a small step in inproving the site.

Log Icons

Inventories, pets, and awards now have little icons in their logs! This will help users and staff alike see these logs at a glance much more clearly.

Snow Crystals Boreal Wishes Snow Crystals
December 3rd, 2024 - January 31st, 2025
As winter rolls into season, Chrysalopolis drifts into the north, causing the floating city to become rather cold, snow even falling from clouds higher than the city and creating a frigid, yet beautiful blanket of snow over the land. Pacas are starting to move indoors more where it's warm, often enjoying things like cuddling under a blanket with all their pets, or experimenting with different flavors of hot cocoa! The holiday season truly nears however pacas start to see stunning rainbow lights dance across the night sky, marking the start of Boreal Wishes, a season in which pacas gather together and put aside their differences, often giving gifts to each other to celebrate, and throwing huge parties in the middle of the season to ring in the new year. The Boreal Wishes season is most certainly the most joyous time of all.

 

Design Schedule
  • Holiday designs by staff members and surprise guest artists throughout the month
  • Designs by Nokkelborth . As always, Nokkel’s patreon usually gets first looks at designs and are normally eligible to make claims in advance, so if that interests you, we recommend taking a look.
  • As always, we may sneak in some surprise designs, some of which may be discord only, so watch out 👁️

Character of The Month


Neo
Neo is a space loving nerd, he loves stargazing and is always willing to talk about planets if you ask!

Submit The Prompt!

Creature Feature


Orknight (Frost)

Found in cold, tundra-like areas near bodies of water, the Frost Orknight prefers to live a life in the wild, rather than in captivity. Be careful if you get too close, they may try to pick a fight with you! They are always trying to fight things much larger than them in an attempt to strengthen their icy body armor. If you bring one of these home to keep as a pet, make sure you are ready for a challenge, because this creature will make it their mission to destroy your home to get free!
