Mixing Holidays Go!

Site Update

Last night I got to work with Dev, my new personal slave our awesome new fixer, and we got quite a bit done! :3

Lair Groups - Fixed
I am most excited to announce that he successfully fixed the lingering problems with lair groups!
You can once more edit, move and update groups and their descriptions.
The only problem you still might run into is when viewing a very large group of pets, those pets that appear toward the bottom of the page might be a little ornery and will refuse to sort properly. Until we can tackle this beast of an issue, try viewing the pet(s) you want to sort from a smaller group (perhaps a default genus group on the left).

Haunted Pumpkin - Wearable

Brr, I don't know if this poor Haunted Pumpkin likes snow, but it does look darn cute sitting in it!
(If you were around for Halloween when these were just collectables, you can now use it for some HA scenery!)

I didn't forget about the Haunted Keys either, we just have to get something specially whipped up for them.

Lab?
You might remember Slash's news post that mentioned a holiday Frankenstein's Lab.
Since I overwhelmed you with pets and there really weren't too many useless collectables around this time, not to mention it's like, January, I'm going to move this to a special July event. It'll be funner this way, I promise. XD

Pick a Leaf - Updated
You can now actually pick leaves again on Pick a Leaf.

Not the most exciting update, but hey, it needed to be updated at some point.
Thanks again, Dev!

Potions - No Special Rarity
"Hey, Dev! Can you fix potions so they no longer can give out Special rarity pets?"
"I can do anything, Eri."
"Yay!"
"Let's test this Random Reve Potion."
"Okay, let me know which Reves you get and I'll tell you if they're good."
"Test!"
"Perfect!"
"Okay, now let's test one of those Finn Potions."
"... uh oh, I think we maybe uh. Just broke those. Because all Finns are Special. They must've broke potions!"
"Pssh, I got this. *fixes*"


And there you have it, my friends.
Potions should no longer be able to give out Special pets, except for that sneaky Finn one, of course.
I'm going to have him check some other pet-obtaining methods, then I'll make an announcement about Conservation Pet refunds and rewards. I didn't want to mix the glitched pets with legitimate ones. So, if you obtained one of the special conservation pets via a potion or are waiting for your actual pet, stay tuned!

Moderator Control Panel
You guys probably won't be as giddy over this as we are because you can't see it, but if you didn't already know, moderator tools are fairly limited. This shiny new panel (hey, it's shinier than the admin panel, what is this. |:) gives moderators access to some really helpful new buttons and levers, as well as some new tools in general for staff as a whole. It's only in the beginning stages, but what it means is that a huge step has been made for behind-the-scenes progress, which means a more efficient, capable staff for you!
Yasu is responsible for this and has done an awesome job!

We're hoping to get the Monthly Item and Holiday Wardrobe up today if all goes well, too!
Note: The Holiday Wardrobe will be remaining in the Cash Shop longer than the items to give you ample time to obtain one once it works!

Shopkeeper PSDs

I know some people are struggling with the default PSDs, so I wanted to let you know that Dew is offering cleaned up versions of them here! Hopefully that'll make it easier for you to create the custom you want. :3

Not that I really have to remind you, but remember, CCCOs/Cs are still in Holiday Lane and will be until 12:15 a.m. on the 12th (that's 15 minutes after the 11th ends tonight).

The Seasonal Shop also closes tonight (I'll start removing things after Holiday Lane closes, which is also at 12:15), so make sure you grab all the goodies you want before then!

Phew!

D: But Eri! If we have until 12:15 AM to explore Holiday Lane and get orbs/crystals/snowflakes/candy canes, then once the Holiday Lane is closed, people will run to the seasonal shop! How quickly are you going to remove things from it? @_@

so should we keep HL items for the july event? or will that be entirely separate?

That's just it's official ending time, I'll give you some breathing room. And you can if you want, but I think we're gonna go with mostly new items for that event. - Eri

So now it's leaves, hmm, and what use are they? Also, what do I do with the gazillions of clovers in my deposit box?

I wish I had known that before I had gotten rid of them all.

Um, I probably missed the update telling me how I make customs of the shopkeeper psds. xD
Surely we don't use Undead potions, do we?

For the lab, will the ingredients be items we get from Holiday Lane or will there be another garden to harvest from?
