Pride - Update 3!

Site Update

"Hey, hey! Look over here! I got in some more stuff for you to buy! but this time, I'm only taking mochi, because those are so, so tasty..."

The final round's currency is the Pride Mochi Packet! You can use these items to trade in for Event Shop content, or you can save them until after the event and open them into little Mochis (collectibles). Your choice!

This round, you can get a trunk of many different colored wings to celebrate your favorite identity.

There's also a box of sparkles that'll give you lots of sparkly backgrounds for your HA!

There's a lot of great items in the shop this time, so why not go take a peek?

Be sure to check out all the great pets - and some of them have very educational descriptions that you can check out in the Aywapedia.

Were you bummed to only have two Pride Candles? The Pride Candle is hanging out in the USD Shop for $5.00 so you can collect any other Teos you happen to desire. It'll leave the shop on the 1st, so act fast if you want one.

Who's excited for the 30th, the finale of the event? Get ready to open sticker packets and mochi boxes, and some other cool stuff for the final part of Pride Month!

As a quick aside, I am finishing up a big move IRL and just got a new laptop and finally got my Internet hooked up. Let me tell you, folks, it is a scary world out there without it. ;~;
But in all seriousness, I'll be doing a lot of catch up and answering messages over the next few days. :3 Thanks!

Pride Update

Site Update

Goto News Post

Our Pride update is going to come tomorrow so you can have some more time collecting what's in the shop right now, and we have some more time to get all the new items and pets ready!

Be aware that the next shop's update is going to last until the event ends on the 30th and will be the final update for the shop. Something cool will likely come on the 30th to wrap up the event, though!

Pride Month - Update 2!

Site Update

Goto News Post

Pride Month

The second update for the Pride Event is here, and the Event Shop is stocked with all sorts of new goodies!

The currency item for this round is called the Pride Stickers and they can be found in all the same places that the previous currency item could be found.

The extra fun part this update is the ability to unlock a huge number of forum titles. Pick up your favorite "shout" item from the Event Shop and activate it to get a forum title related to the item. Forum titles can be used in the Achievements section of User Settings.

A number of quite nice HA clothing sets are available in the Event Shop!

And, of course, let's not forget all the gorgeous pet designs!

This cute little item here is special and opens up into two Lovebird fauna items, which represent a wide array of orientations and genders.

How adorable are those? There might even be some more coming!

Some new Teos are available in the Semi-Custom Creator, so be sure to use that second Pride Candle to pick one up!

Remember that all of these goodies are going to be rotated out of the Event Shop at 11:59 PM on the 20th! Be sure to collect everything you want to get before then.

Reminder about Commissions feature

Site Update

Goto News Post

This is a quick reminder that the new Commissions feature is NOT for posting artwork advertisements that would not result in a fee. That means: no brand new SCC base posts, no regular artwork posts, unless you are willing to pay the fee associated with using the feature.

It is far too much work to have to check every single post to see if a fee applies, and would not make it worth keeping the feature if that were the case. If you have a post up that would not result in a fee and do not want to pay the fee, delete it immediately. Thank you for understanding.
