Site Update
Evening, folks! Inspired by recent events, we're all going to gather 'round and talk about some general Internet and online game red flags so we can continue to have a safe community.
It has come to our attention that at least one account has been mass-spamming other players with similar messages, offering free avatar art and asking for IM accounts. These kinds of scams are usually an attempt to get your personal information, solicit minors or phish for account passwords. Staff can't do anything about offsite activities, which is why most people with bad intentions try to work through instant messengers.
Never, ever give someone personally identifying information or click on links from people you don't know. When opting to give a user your offsite contact information, do so with a pound of caution and at your own risk. Don't take candy from strangers, let alone tell them your favorite kind!
If you have acted on a message like the one described above, we strongly suggest you block the IM account(s) and change your password(s) to be on the safe side.
If you ever encounter a user or message that looks suspicious to you or just gives you that bad feeling in your gut, please do not hesitate to contact a staff member immediately. People like this aren't exactly going to waltz up to our doors, but they will go to players that look established or unsuspecting, so we really rely on you guys to let us know when something is amiss. Thank you!
Now that we've had a little chat, let's go out for some ice cream!
(I promise, it's safe. XD)
These are now stocking in the Energy Dishes Shop and will be available for the rest of November. :3

Wow. That person contacted me and told me they drew my avatar... offered to show me on IM.... I don't use IMs, so I just ignored after that.... kinda glad I'm lazy and unsociable to strangers. :P

Whoa...this is pretty scary to me >.>. I dunno if it's the same person that contacted Heavyn, but I got the same kind of message of someone telling me that they drew my avatar as well, and that they couldn't show me the link through here. They then proceeded to ask for my messenger, though I luckily never responded! Glad to read this warning. On a side note, the Ice Cream's are adorable!
